Article sees more than 45% YoY revenue growth, expands logistics network

Company continues growth despite subsiding pandemic related tailwinds

VANCOUVER, BC, March 23, 2022 /CNW/ - Article, a leading online modern furniture company, announces over 45% revenue growth between 2020 and 2021. The company, which has been profitable since 2015, attributes the growth to its expanded catalog of stylish home furnishings, its convenient shopping experience, and its value relative to competitors – all of which will continue to fuel Article's success in 2022.

Aamir Baig, co-founder and CEO of Article, said, "Investments in our fulfillment network, growth of our Vietnam office, and executive hires are among many recent company milestones that support our pursuit to build the easiest way to create a beautiful space. We anticipate the year ahead will be challenging for a number of reasons. Tailwinds created by the pandemic are subsiding and global supply chain disruptions are likely to continue for the immediate term. I'm confident we will continue to capitalize on the opportunity in front of us through the team's collective determination and expertise."
