Insights & Guides

Plan a furniture order from the room brief through material selection and delivery. This journal helps importers, designers and project buyers turn an idea into a clearer specification: what to measure, which questions to ask and what to confirm before production. Choose a reading route below, or browse the latest articles for a specific sourcing question.

Where to start with your furniture brief

Before requesting prices

Build a room-by-room list with quantities, delivery destination and the dimensions that matter. Read the buying guides to prepare questions about samples, packing and shipping terms. Compare quotations against the same specification, and identify the details still awaiting approval before discussing a production schedule.

When choosing surfaces and upholstery

Photographs are a starting point for a finish discussion. Use the materials section to frame questions about stone, fabric, leather and metal, then check the specification for the actual model. Record the agreed sample reference and care requirements so a colour description alone does not become the order specification.

When turning a mood board into a room

Use design notes to think about proportion, circulation and how pieces work together. Then open the product catalogue for individual dimensions and drawings. A look that works in a reference image still needs to be checked against the floor plan, neighbouring furniture and the route into the building.
