Special projects
Not every request fits neatly into a category, and that is often where the work is most interesting. This page brings together the pieces that belong to no range: one-off developments, objects born from an idea, products made for a single occasion.
What we can do
- Specific developments from a brief, with no existing range
- Decorative objects and mood pieces
- Revivals and reissues of products dropped by a maker
- Exploratory sourcing when the product does not exist yet
Buyer questions
What do you mean by one-off?
Whatever does not fit elsewhere: a piece developed for a single client, an object from an idea we pushed without an order, the revival of a product a maker discontinued. These are special cases, and that is precisely what we know how to handle.
Do you accept projects with no precise idea of the product?
Yes. A good part of our developments start from a need, not a product. We suggest directions, we source, we have a sample made. If the idea does not hold up, we see it then, not after production.
Do you also bring your own ideas?
Regularly. When we come across a clever product during a sourcing trip, we suggest it to a client whose aisle we know. Some of our best-sellers started that way.
