101domus Trade Programme Offers Designers One Contact for More Than 100 Italian Makers
Interior designers in the United States can coordinate furniture, lighting and décor orders from more than 100 Italian manufacturers through 101domus, which has published an English-language guide to its trade programme.
The programme is for interior designers and architects in the United States and other international markets working on high-end homes, hotels and restaurants. Rather than managing separate suppliers, price lists, contracts and overseas shipments for different items, designers can use one platform and a personal advisor to coordinate quotes, custom production, orders and delivery across brands.
Professional access and custom work
Designers apply for professional access by submitting a profile for their practice, whether they work independently, in a design studio or at a larger firm. Registered members receive trade-only pricing and professional conditions across more than 100 selected Italian manufacturers. Discount levels are not published and are shared on registration.
The programme supports both semi-custom adjustments to dimensions, materials and finishes, and fully bespoke pieces developed with manufacturers from the designer’s specifications. 101domus coordinates shop drawings and samples, with drawings approved before production starts.
Product pages include technical data and, for many items, 3D models in .3ds, .obj, .fbx and .skp formats. The models are scaled to real dimensions for SketchUp, 3ds Max, Rhino or Blender. Designers can also use wishlists and project folders to share selections with clients.
Coordinated shipments
Shipments from multiple Italian manufacturers are grouped into coordinated export batches for North America. Documentation is handled centrally, while payments are staged against project milestones in multiple currencies.
The guide says the design intent and the client relationship always stay with the designer. US designers can request professional access or submit an active project for coordination review, ideally at concept or FF&E specification stage.
