High-end interior design relies on European furniture brands, but Trump’s tariffs are sewing customer confusion and anger. Says one maker: ‘I understand completely if they stop buying.’ When the British designer Fred Rigby released his first furniture collection in 2021, he knew from the outset he would prioritize a U.S. audience—a bigger market with more sales opportunities, he says. Rigby designs and manufactures elegantly crafted furniture in the Oxfordshire countryside, and has built strong relationships with interior designer clients in cities like New York, L.A. and Miami.
