Seth Rogen on the success of Houseplant
It’s fair to say Rogen’s business venture is turning out to be pretty successful. In March 2021, he told Vogue: “I like design and I started buying vintage ashtrays because that was the closest thing I could find to a well-designed home good that was designed with smoking of some sort in mind.
“There was a time when brilliant designers would make ashtrays and it drew creative energy but, very rightfully, smoking cigarettes went out of style and the thought behind that kind of lifestyle went out of style as well. But I found myself repurposing these old things and then started to think, ‘What if we just made new versions of these things?’
“It’s not something a lot of other people are putting thought into, and it’s something I personally know I would really want. It has been insanely gratifying. I never thought it was a field I would get into or something I would feel so passionately about or something I thought I could express myself so clearly through.”
