The Sourcing Collective process begins with a vision translated to paper.
A collaborative discussion about the client’s aspirations results in a tangible design.
An estimate offers a detailed summary of costs and timelines.
This essential step determines the financial framework for the project.
The Sourcing Collective refines the design with its partner ateliers.
A comprehensive drawing and manufacturing plan is delivered to the client.
A prototype is a critical tool in limited-edition manufacturing.
The client can approve the model or request changes before fabrication.
A leather booth, a glass light fixture, a wooden headboard: the product comes to life.
The custom collection is completed in factories and workshops in Northern Italy.
The finished product arrives at the client’s doorstep.
International transit (and installation, if necessary) is facilitated by The Sourcing Collective.

Materials

The search for materials is a tactile experience. Any textile tells a story in its warp and weft, just as the weight of a glass in one’s hand will convey a particular feeling. The Sourcing Collective rigorously researches the origins, quality, and sustainability of all its materials, be it wood, metal, marble, glass or fabric.
