Let's Talk About Your Studio

Book a 30-minute conversation to discuss your projects, your purchasing process and where Allumette can help. No trade application is required before we meet.

Built around the way your studio works.

You may need help sourcing a particular piece, carrying procurement across several projects, or creating a more dependable purchasing process.

Our first conversation is about understanding what you already handle well, where you need support and how Allumette could fit into your practice.

Based in Scottsdale, we work with independent design studios nationwide.

A conversation is the starting point.

01 — Tell us about your studio

Share the projects you’re working on and where sourcing or procurement needs more attention.

02 — Define the support

We’ll discuss the services, responsibilities and costs relevant to your needs, so expectations are clear before work begins.

03 — Put the relationship to work

Move forward with an agreed approach to sourcing, purchasing and coordination.

TRADE MEMBERSHIP

The Allumette Standard.

Access matters. So does knowing which sources to trust, which questions to ask and where a purchase needs closer attention.

Our relationships are supported by firsthand knowledge of makers, materials and the work behind a finished piece. That judgment informs what we recommend and how we support your studio.

FAQ

Below are some of are common questions:

We source, specify, and order on your behalf. Once an order is placed, we track it, follow up with the manufacturer and rep, handle damage claims, and coordinate shipping to your receiver (all on your account), under your name. Delivery runs through your receiver, as always. What we take off your plate is everything in between: the emails, the calls, the "where is it," the "it arrived damaged," and the "can we change the fabric." Design is 20% of a designer's time. The other 80% is this. That's our lane.

Often, yes and here's why. A lot of designers don't know the difference between a designer discount and true wholesale. Manufacturers protect their retail partners; to get real pricing, you need volume or a buy-in. We're placing orders continuously across multiple designers, which gives us leverage most solo designers and small firms can't replicate on their own. You may get better pricing here than you'd get direct. And even when the price is the same, you're getting the service.

Regularly. If you have clients in Scottsdale and you're not based here, we can be your home base. We'll pull samples, host your client, keep them informed, and represent you with total neutrality, telling them exactly what you've asked us to tell them and nothing more. One designer flew in for a Saturday morning meeting, finished her fabric selections, had a quote by Monday and approval by Tuesday. That's the model.

Interior design is not Amazon Prime. Almost everything we do is by order, and that means lead times, freight coordination, and time at the receiver before delivery. Taxes, shipping, handling, and receiving fees are all part of the picture. We'll give you realistic timelines upfront, not optimistic ones. And if something changes, you'll hear from us before you have to ask.
