Designer Furniture and Lighting Brands for Interior Designers

The Design Net supplies carefully selected European furniture and lighting brands to interior designers, architects and trade clients throughout London and the UK.

Our brand portfolio includes established names such as B&B Italia, Maxalto, Knoll, Gloster, Contardi, Crassevig and Traba. Together, these collections give designers access to contemporary furniture, modern classics, outdoor furniture, decorative lighting, seating and contract-ready solutions for residential, hospitality and commercial interiors.

We have developed close, long-term relationships with the brands we represent. This allows us to support designers with more than product sourcing alone. We can assist with trade pricing, samples, finishes, dimensions, product information, quotations, ordering, delivery and installation planning.

Whether you are looking for one statement piece or coordinating furniture from several manufacturers, our aim is to make the specification and purchasing process clearer, more efficient and easier to manage.

Why We Work with Selected Furniture and Lighting Brands

We choose our brand partners carefully.

A strong collection is not defined by appearance alone. The furniture also needs to be well made, properly supported and suitable for the demands of a professional interior design project.

The brands we represent have been selected for their design quality, material choice, manufacturing standards and ability to work across a range of premium interior environments.

Our portfolio gives designers access to different design languages without having to manage a disconnected group of suppliers. This could include contemporary Italian upholstery, modernist furniture, refined timber pieces, contract seating, decorative lighting and outdoor collections within the same project.

Each brand has its own strengths, finish options, technical requirements and lead times. Our role is to help designers understand those differences and identify the products that best answer the brief.

Our Furniture and Lighting Brands

B&B Italia

B&B Italia offers contemporary Italian furniture for residential, hospitality and commercial interiors. Its collections include sofas, armchairs, tables, chairs, beds, storage and outdoor furniture, with modular systems and extensive finish options available across many ranges.

Maxalto

Maxalto provides a refined collection of furniture with a quieter, more architectural character. Its sofas, tables, chairs, beds and storage pieces are particularly suited to sophisticated residential interiors, hospitality environments and projects requiring a consistent design language across several rooms.

Knoll

Knoll brings together recognised modern furniture designs and practical solutions for residential, workplace and commercial settings. The collection is particularly relevant for designers looking for established pieces that can sit comfortably within both contemporary and more layered interiors.

Gloster

Gloster specialises in premium outdoor furniture for terraces, gardens, hospitality spaces, roof terraces, pool areas and marine environments. Its collections allow designers to create outdoor schemes with the same level of consideration given to the interior.

Contardi

Contardi provides decorative and architectural lighting for residential, hospitality and commercial projects. Its lighting collections include pendants, wall lights, table lamps, floor lamps and portable designs that can support both the practical and atmospheric requirements of an interior.

Crassevig

Crassevig produces seating and tables with a strong focus on proportion, material and practical performance. Its collections can be specified for dining areas, hospitality spaces, workplaces and other commercial interiors where design and durability must work together.

Traba

Traba offers contemporary chairs, stools, lounge seating and tables with an adaptable design language. The collection is suited to dining, hospitality and residential projects requiring distinctive seating with a wide choice of upholstery and finish options.

Why Source Through The Design Net?

Working with a furniture supplier should make a project easier to deliver, not simply provide another place to request prices. The Design Net acts as a single point of contact between the designer and the manufacturers we represent. We can support your team with:

Trade Pricing and Project Quotations

We provide project-specific quotations across our furniture and lighting brands. Where several products or manufacturers are involved, we can help organise the information into a clearer and more manageable package.

Material and Finish Samples

Our London studio holds a selection of product, upholstery and finish samples. Further samples, brochures and digital catalogues can be requested to support presentations, client approvals and material reviews.

Product Specification Support

We can assist with dimensions, configurations, upholstery options, finishes and product information before an order is placed. This is particularly important for modular sofas, dining tables, contract seating and lighting products with several specification choices.

One Purchase Order Across Multiple Brands

Furniture and lighting from different manufacturers can be coordinated through The Design Net, reducing the number of separate suppliers, invoices and conversations your team needs to manage.

Where appropriate, products can also be consolidated to reduce unnecessary delivery movements and help create a more coordinated installation programme.

Lead-Time and Order Management

We monitor orders and communicate relevant lead-time information as the project progresses. This allows designers and project managers to plan around manufacturing, site readiness, access and installation requirements.

Delivery and Installation Coordination

The final stage of a furniture order is just as important as the original specification.

We can help coordinate delivery requirements, access considerations, placement and installation so that the process has been considered before the furniture arrives on site.

Furniture and Lighting for Different Project Types

Our brands can be specified across a wide range of interior environments.

High-End Residential Interiors

For private residences, apartments and country homes, we can assist with furniture for living rooms, dining spaces, bedrooms, home offices, libraries, terraces and gardens.

This may involve sourcing a complete furniture scheme or finding a particular sofa, dining table, armchair, light or outdoor collection that completes the designer's vision.

Hospitality Projects

Our furniture and lighting brands can support boutique hotels, restaurants, private members' clubs, bars and guest accommodation.

For hospitality projects, we help designers consider appearance alongside dimensions, durability, cleaning, replacement requirements, lead times and installation.

Commercial and Workplace Interiors

Selected collections are suitable for reception spaces, meeting rooms, executive offices, breakout areas, restaurants and other commercial environments.

We can assist with identifying products that meet the visual direction of the project while remaining appropriate for their intended level of use.

Outdoor and Marine Environments

Our outdoor collections can be used for residential gardens, terraces, rooftops, hospitality spaces, pool areas and selected yacht or marine projects.

We can help designers review materials, upholstery, protective covers and product suitability when furniture will be exposed to changing weather and environmental conditions.

Branded Furniture or Bespoke Furniture?

A recognised furniture brand is not automatically the right answer for every part of a project.

For some briefs, an established product from B&B Italia, Maxalto, Knoll or another brand offers the right combination of design, comfort, reliability and finish choice.

For other briefs, the required dimensions, material, colour or function may call for something made specifically for the space.

The Design Net offers both routes.

Alongside our European brand partners, we design and manufacture British-made bespoke furniture through specialist workshops close to London. This means we can help designers combine branded pieces with made-to-order furniture within the same interior.

A project might include a branded sofa and armchairs alongside a bespoke media unit, coffee table, bedside cabinet or fitted storage piece produced to match the scheme.

The decision is not about choosing branded or bespoke furniture for the entire project. It is about selecting the most intelligent solution for each part of the brief.

How Our Furniture Sourcing Process Works

1. Send Us Your Brief

Provide the product references, room schedules, drawings, dimensions, quantities, preferred finishes and required delivery dates currently available.

You do not need to have every detail confirmed before speaking with us. Early involvement can help identify missing information before it causes delays later in the project.

2. Review Products and Alternatives

We will review your requirements and provide relevant product information, configuration guidance and alternatives where appropriate.

If a standard product cannot meet the required dimensions or finish, we can also explore whether a bespoke solution would be more suitable.

3. Request Pricing and Samples

We prepare project quotations and arrange available material, finish and upholstery samples to support the approval process.

4. Confirm the Specification

Before ordering, the product references, quantities, dimensions, finishes, upholstery and delivery requirements should be confirmed.

For modular or configurable products, we can help check that the final composition reflects the approved layout.

5. Place and Monitor the Order

Once the specification and quotation have been approved, we place the order and monitor its progress with the manufacturer.

6. Coordinate Delivery

We work with the project team to understand site readiness, access, delivery timing and installation responsibilities before the furniture arrives.

Other Furniture and Lighting Brands

Our main brand partnerships are shown above, but we can also source products from other furniture and lighting manufacturers where a project requires them.

If you are looking for a particular product, collection or manufacturer that is not listed, send us the details. We will confirm whether we can supply it or recommend a suitable alternative from within our existing portfolio.
