As a longtime entrepreneur in the interiors world, Christiane Lemieux knows better than most the pain points involved in shopping for furniture. A customer can expect their furniture to arrive in fast-fashion turnaround time: six to 14 days. The Inside will collaborate with big-name designers; its launch features capsule collections by Clare V. and Peter Som. Lemieux spent almost three years as an executive creative director at Wayfair before leaving to launch The Inside; without venture capitalist Green's support, she isn't sure she would've taken the plunge. I probably would’ve taken another year.
