BARCELONA × FOSHAN
THE WORLD'S LARGEST FURNITURE MANUFACTURING ECOSYSTEM.
NOW ACCESSIBLE FROM AND
UNITED STATES.
EUROPE
Foshan is home to one of the world's most extensive furniture manufacturing ecosystems, with specialist manufacturers producing everything from upholstered furniture and dining tables to beds, cabinetry, lighting and highly customized pieces.
The challenge for Western clients is rarely finding furniture.
The challenge is knowing who to trust, how to communicate requirements, how to develop the designs, how to control quality and how to coordinate the process from thousands of kilometres away.
That's where we come in.
We are the bridge.

QUALITY
CHINESE MANUFACTURING.
WESTERN EXPECTATIONS.
One of the biggest concerns Western clients have is quality. And it is a legitimate concern.
China produces everything from mass-market products to exceptionally sophisticated furniture for luxury residential, hospitality and international markets. The key is not simply where the furniture is made. The key is:
WHO PRODUCES IT.
HOW IT IS SPECIFIED.
HOW IT IS SUPERVISED.
HOW IT IS INSPECTED.
Our role is to help identify the appropriate production partner for each project and maintain clear specifications throughout the process.
We don't sell “cheap furniture.”
We develop project-specific furniture packages where quality, materials, construction and budget are defined before production begins.
