Polish company offers to manufacture, renovate or modernise antique-styled furniture under the subcontracting agreement

A family enterprise from the North-West Poland has been operating in the furniture industry since 2013. The firm is run by a married couple of award-winning artists: he has education and experience in upholstery and wood carving, she is an interior architect and furniture designer. They carry on 40 years of his family's carpentry tradition. The company has some experience in international cooperation - they've been exporting products to Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. The firm is offering to manufacture unique, antique-styled furniture, including: - fabric chairs in various styles (Ludwik, medallion, throne) and settees; - ornamented cabinets, chest of drawers, dressers, chests, writing desks and tables. The furniture can be manufactured from designs developed by a client or by the firm itself (in consultation with a client, strictly respecting his requirements). Various types of wood can be used for the production of offered furniture: oak, beech, walnut and rosewood. The firm carefully selects materials (textiles, wood) and uses only those that are certified. Besides manufacturing a new furniture, the firm is also offering to renovate or modify old ones. They can i.a. change upholstery, modify shade of wood, age furniture, add new coatings and/or decorative elements (nail strips etc.), depending on a client's request. The firm would like to diversify its income sources, therefore it is interested in the cooperation with foreign partners, preferably with interior designers and architects, antiquarian shops and furniture boutiques, in a form of subcontracting or distribution services agreement. As the firm manufactures very individualised products, it looks for main contractors that are ready to be heavily involved in the whole production/renovation process. They are expected to timely answer questions about desired shape and size of furniture, to select a type of wood, colour and patterns of fabric etc. (the firm will help with the decisions by providing samples and its expertise). Based on that information, the company will prepare a design and, if accepted, will produce requested items. Or the main contractor can provide his own designs with a complete specification of products at the begging of the cooperation. As far as distributors are concerned, they will be expected to order products from the catalogue provided by the firm and sell them through their own channels.
