  • WHY DO WE STILL WANT THINGS WE DO NOT NEED?

    WHY DO WE STILL WANT THINGS WE DO NOT NEED?

    Guest:Cédric Laforge
    Duration: 50 minutes
    Episode: 3


    In this conversation, we explore the psychology of desire and its influence on luxury, identity, and modern consumption. Together with Cédric Laforge, we examine why we desire things beyond necessity, how luxury brands create and sustain desirability, and the evolving relationship between status, ownership, and personal fulfilment. From the influence of social recognition to the paradox of overconsumption, we question what truly creates value and whether the future of luxury lies not in wanting more, but in knowing when we have enough.

    In this conversation we’re exploring the story behind Sapēre, from the initial idea and the gap that inspired it, to how it evolved into an ecosystem for luxury founders.

    We discuss what Sapēre is, who it’s built for, the vision behind it, and why we believe the future of luxury will be shaped by the people building it.
