Rob Anderson the General Manager at The Foundary joins Craig. The Foundry is a flash sales site offering home furnishings and lifestyle accessories to its members in daily events at greatly reduced prices. Every once in a while, a product emerges from the stagnant mainstream to capture the imagination of our buyers. These folks see a lot of ordinary in their day-to-day, so when they spot something transformative, they have a cultivated ability to recognize it. And then something funny happens. Like a flipped switch from daydream to wakefulness, there’s a moment of inspiration. They’re compelled not just to buy, but to share.   That’s why we built the Foundary. To create a space where we can share our passion for products of substance. We share this passion with Foundary members through daily emails, which announce new, limited-time sales events, each filled with surprises, delights, and a satisfying dose of indulgence.
