Description:
This UK based company is a textile and surface pattern designer and product developer and has over 15 years' experience, working on an eclectic mix of products over the years for a number of large UK high street retailers.
A successful portfolio includes general textile designs, nursery products, luggage and more recently, homeware accessories such as cushions, rugs, doorstops, draught excluders, playmats, doormats, crockery, paper products and lampshades. All of the above products demonstrate a successful varied and flexible design style, to appeal to a wide variety of retailers from mass supermarkets to middle and high end retailers.
With over a decade's knowledge of liaising with overseas suppliers, the company also produces detailed trend analysis for each particular market, frequently travelling to trade shows and exhibitions to keep abreast of the latest trends - what’s in now, what isn’t and what’s coming - so by the time products get to market they will be on trend. With these trends in mind, designs are created to suit clients’ products and customer base and more importantly help to increase sales.
The company also has vast experience in producing specification sheets for factories ready for production. This means customers will not need any third-party input to convert designs for factory use, saving time and money and ensuring the factory produce products exactly to specification, avoiding any re-sampling.
This textile and surface pattern designer / product developer is currently looking to build a presence worldwide and ideally seeks homeware manufacturers looking for a textile and surface pattern designer, to create designs for its own products under its own brand in a sub-contracting arrangement. Alternatively, the client seeks agents looking to represent its design work (under licence) to manufacturers who supply middle and high-end retailers or interior design outlets in the furnishings, textiles or homeware products sector.

1. Manufacturers looking for a textile and surface pattern designer to create pattern designs for their own products under their own brand in a sub-contracting arrangement. The potential partner should have extensive experience in manufacturing their own products and ideally have their own client list that they sell to.
2. Commercial agents looking to represent the design work (under licence) to manufacturers who supply middle and high-end retailers. The potential partner should have extensive experience in its field and ideally have an extensive client list/contacts that they sell to.
