Are you a new designer struggling to make connections with furniture manufacturers? Are you an experienced designer looking to streamline your sourcing and shipping? Today's guests, Peter and Alexander Spalding, are the creators of Daniel House Club, a website that helps designers find products, manage vendors, and maximize their creativity. Stay tuned!

The concept behind Daniel House Club is both personal and professional to CEO Alexander Spalding and Chief Brand Officer Peter Spalding. As past owners of an interior design firm, they had experienced the many challenges and complexities of running a design business themselves. The Spalding brothers knew all too well that designers spend excessive amounts of time finding products, managing vendors, and handling logistics – and spend less time on being creative.
