Summary:
A Swedish furniture and design studio working with global clients on a contract and project basis are looking for furniture manufacturers that work in solid wood or veneer in any type of wood they are familiar working with and that they have access to locally.
They would like to enter into manufacturing agreements, but also build long term relationships to those that have the need to sometimes collaborate with designers on a royalty basis.
Description:
The Swedish furniture and design studio has been in operations for more than 15 years, with their head designer having had a lifelong contractor relationship to among others IKEA.

They are now looking to build relationships to even more international furniture manufacturers that they could turn to for manufacturing agreements related to projects they are working on.
