This fulfills our promise of delivering quality, flat pack furniture that delight our customers.
Working closely with our suppliers, you take a design concept from prototype to mass production with the user in mind.
The challenge: ensure every product is 100% ready for mass production, and meeting customers needs, while looking for ways to continuously improve our products post-release.
