Aspen Times: How have you gotten creative during this time? What have you done to keep your customers engaged?
The Art of Lounging’s Angelica Mojarro: My creative juices have been flowing during the past few months. Since it’s a new venture and recently launched, I’ve been challenging myself to think of new shopping tools to engage potential clients and provide a seamless online experience. I love a good thoughtful launch!
AT: What’s the most important thing the community can do to support you?
AM: My intent is to be used as a partner, a local resource for interior designers and clients rethinking and or refreshing their space. We are home more than ever!
AT: Where can we find your most current offerings and updates?
AM: Online! Go to http://www.artoflounging.com or @art_of_lounging in Instagram.
AT: What has been the best customer experience or comment you’ve had since the crisis started?
AM: I delivered a midcentury daybed to a client in Kansas City that had been fully upcycled. Making old new again. … She raved about the craftsmanship and sent me a picture of the piece in her “boudoir.” It was “exactly” what she wanted.
AT: Is there anything else you’d like to add regarding your business during the pandemic?
AM: A component of my business model is to be socially mindful, especially during these essential times. A key philosophy is that all midcentury treasures are upcycled by local artisans exercising their craft, I’m using local delivery services, local branding talent, local photographers … they are all amazing!
