Preparing a Bespoke Sofa Brief for Your Brand or Project
Updated: Oct 1
A photo or drawing can start a bespoke sofa discussion, but it is not a complete production specification. For a furniture brand, design studio or fit-out business, a clear brief helps identify what can be produced, what needs development and which details affect the quotation.
Describe the design and dimensions
Send your reference image or drawing and explain which features matter: silhouette, arms, backrest, seat proportions, legs and overall dimensions. For corner or modular sofas, show the intended orientation and module arrangement. State which dimensions are fixed and where an alternative could be acceptable.
Set the upholstery and functional requirements
Include preferred fabrics, colours and finishes, together with any sleeping function or storage requirement. If the furniture is for commercial premises, state the relevant performance requirements and request confirmation for the proposed materials. Final specifications should be agreed for the actual model and upholstery combination.
Explain quantities and brand requirements
Provide expected quantities per configuration and distinguish a prototype or sample from the intended production order. If you need private label supply, describe the branding, labels and packaging you want. These options and any minimum quantities need to be assessed for the proposed product; they should not be assumed from a reference photo.
Include delivery and approval details
State the delivery country and location, target timing and whether the project has access or installation constraints. Identify who will approve the dimensions, fabrics and final specification. A realistic quotation depends on a defined scope and an agreed approval process.
