Creative and Design.

Agencies and design studios live or die on first impressions. We supply Eames, Saarinen, and Bertoia originals, second life designer pieces at fair prices, and custom configurations that look like you, not the agency next door.

Creative and Design
01 — The pitch

Here's what working with us looks like.

Design firms are the hardest and most rewarding clients in this business, because they can tell. A substitution another client would never register is the first thing a creative director sees walking into the room.

Agencies and design studios live or die on first impressions. We supply Eames, Saarinen, and Bertoia originals, second life designer pieces at fair prices, and custom configurations that look like you, not the agency next door.

We work with creative and design teams to divert furniture from landfills and spend 40-60% less than buying it new. The math sits on the proposal, line by line, and so does the 70/30 split with our dealer network. Open line, unfranchised, second life only. Every piece leaves tagged with RESEAT ID and lands on the 12M+ pounds we have already kept out of landfills.

02 — Field notes

What we already know about this one.

Not positioning. The operational facts that decide how a project here actually runs, written down before you ask.

The spec

What creative and design work actually asks for

Design intent leads and the furniture is part of the argument the space is making. Mixed lines, mixed eras, lounge-heavy, and a tolerance for pieces that are interesting rather than safe.

The failure mode

What goes wrong on these projects

Catalog substitution. A franchise dealer swaps a specified piece for the line it is quota'd to sell, and the room stops working for reasons nobody can articulate on a spreadsheet.

How it gets bought

Who signs, and against what

A principal or design director decides and the decision is taste-led. The proposal has to show the actual pieces, in the actual finishes, or it does not get a yes.

03 — What you get

What we deliver.

Every line of scope, on the proposal. No mystery markup, no surprise charges on install day.

04 — Why this combination works

Three reasons it lands.

Industry fit

Specs we already know

The space is part of the brand. We get it. We do not need a primer, and the first call usually saves a week of one.

We have diverted 12M+ pounds of furniture from landfills across the platform. References for creative and design work are available under NDA. Ask in the brief.

05 — Impact you can put in the deck

Real stats, sourced.

We don't put a tree icon on a CO₂ stat and call it a day. The same RESEAT ID dashboard tracks impact data project by project, so it lands in the ESG report with the math intact.

06 — What's different

Not your usual dealer.

We sell furniture for a living, but the way we sell it is the actual product. Six things that show up in every project, and that most dealers won't say out loud.

Second life with a paper trail.

Every piece is inspected, warrantied, and tagged with RESEAT ID. Most dealers treat second life as a side hustle. It is the only thing we do. On creative and design work that record is half the deliverable, and it is the half that gets audited.

Open line, no franchise quota.

We are not franchised to a manufacturer, so no catalog decides your spec and no quota decides what we recommend. If we cannot solve it second life, we say so and point you somewhere useful. That matters more in creative and design than in most categories, because the substitution a franchise dealer makes quietly is the one your reviewers catch loudly.

Subscription, if you need the flex.

Furniture as a Service for teams that do not want to own the chair forever. 12, 24, or 36-month terms, refresh built in, and the buy-out and return numbers stated on day one rather than produced at the end. It exists for the budget conversation as much as the furniture one.

70/30 split, on the line item.

Our cut goes on the invoice, not buried in markup. Network dealers keep 30%, RESEAT keeps 70%, and everyone can see the math. It is an unusual thing to publish. It is also the fastest way to end an argument about pricing.

We do not learn on your project.

We have been through creative and design compliance reviews and procurement cycles before. The first one of those is the hard one, and yours will not be our first. References under NDA on request.

07 — Plain talk

What we ship. What we don't.

The line-by-line, on the proposal. The 70/30 RESEAT/dealer split sits there too, not buried in markup. Including the things a creative and design buyer normally has to ask three times to find out.

We ship

  • Quotes inside 72 hours
  • Brand-name second life at a real discount
  • Open line sourcing across every major manufacturer
  • White-glove install with COIs ready
  • RESEAT ID tags on every piece
  • A single project lead from brief to refresh
  • Specs that already clear creative and design review

We don't

  • Mystery markup
  • "Call for pricing" pages
  • A franchise catalog deciding your spec
  • Sub-sub-contractors with no accountability
  • Discontinued no-name imports as "premium"
  • Surprise charges on the install day
  • A quote written before anyone asked what creative and design review requires
08 — Challenges we run into

What gets in the way.

We have run this one plenty of times. These are the ones creative and design teams hit, in roughly the order they hit them.

09 — Common questions

Things people ask.

The first call usually saves you a week. Ask in the brief if yours is not here.

Design intent leads and the furniture is part of the argument the space is making. Mixed lines, mixed eras, lounge-heavy, and a tolerance for pieces that are interesting rather than safe. We have been through the compliance reviews and procurement cycles your team is about to ask about, and we can share project references under NDA when they look like your situation.
Catalog substitution. A franchise dealer swaps a specified piece for the line it is quota'd to sell, and the room stops working for reasons nobody can articulate on a spreadsheet. We scope for it up front rather than discovering it on install day.
Line-item and transparent. Second life saves 40-60% against the same piece new. We do not sell new major furniture, so nobody here is steering you toward a bigger invoice. Furniture as a Service runs 12, 24, or 36-month terms. The 70/30 RESEAT/dealer split sits on the proposal rather than inside the markup. Quoted in a form a creative and design approval chain can actually process, rather than a single number somebody has to defend.
RESEAT ID is a digital passport for every piece: specs, warranty, depreciation, resale estimate, and carbon footprint in one record that travels with the chair, the desk, or the panel. Yes, included on every project, no upcharge. It is the difference between planning a refresh from data and planning it from a walk-through with a clipboard.
We have diverted 12M+ pounds of furniture from landfills since launch. On the ServiceNow program that meant 588 metric tons of CO₂e avoided on a single 952-piece refresh. We do not put a tree icon next to that and call it a day. The same RESEAT ID dashboard tracks impact project by project, so it lands in your ESG report with the math intact. For creative and design reporting, the number that usually matters is no catalog writing the spec.
