S 2 U Design

If you are a furniture manufacturer, a furniture retailer or a furniture designer, our ambitious mission is to build for you a supply chain for which we achieve and maintain a potent and unique win-win situation between Furniture retailer and Furniture manufacturer, for any Furniture Sourcing project we engage in.
Let's face it!
The supply chain, which you form part of, is only as strong as the weakest link - and the weakest link is bound to determine whether a project or product becomes a success or a failure.

We had a successful and growing online business with a large physical showroom and warehouse, selling Oak Furniture nationwide in the UK - branded OAKEA - which I had set up 5 years earlier.
The inspiration for this business came after having run and grown a UK based Furniture Factory and supplied hundreds of retailers for 5 years.
The normal business model at the time, for the typical UK retailer - my customer - was to take a deposit from the consumer, order the furniture from a wholesaler, and then deliver 6-8 weeks later.

With more than 20 years of experience - both from a retailer perspective and from the perspective of sourcing for retailers - in developing and sourcing furniture from South East Asia, we know - first hand and from every angle - all the many challenges and pitfalls which retailers and other importers face on a daily basis, - as well as the potential profitability for a successfully rolled out project/product.
We exist to help you overcome the challenges, while maximising your supply chain's contribution to your profitability.

We can offer ready-to-manufacture new designs - created by professional and skillful designers or by the factories themselves - which can enable you to bypass the many time-consuming steps from idea to launch, and thus, we can improve your competitive advantage.
We are on the ground in wonderful Vietnam.
As a Furniture Buyer, have you ever come across a great, commercial and ingenious design, only to find out that the designer has not been able to source it from the right factory to arrive at the necessary competitive price and/or have it made in the right volume and the right quality?

You know the dilemma!
You dream about having your amazing design rolled out worldwide.
Feedback suggests that this is possible - if not probably - with the right execution and if you can have it made at the right price/quality.
But when that first big order, which you have hoped for, finally arrives in your inbox, how are you going to scale up?
Where do you find the right manufacturer?
And if you do, how do you assure the quality?
This is where we come in!
If you have created an intiguing design, we would love to source the right factory and make your design genuinely production ready - so that you can promote it with confidence to the buyers who can and do buy in the volume you hope for.
