Trade FAQ
Answers to common questions about eligibility, applying, pricing, and ordering.
FAQ
Eligibility & Applying
Who can join the Trade Program?
Interior designers and firms, licensed architects, hospitality businesses (hotels, restaurants, bars, spas), and real estate developers, home stagers, film/TV set designers, and retail buyers.
I'm an independent freelancer, not a firm — can I still apply?
Yes. The program is open to independent professionals as well as firms — we just ask a little about your practice on the application.
Do I need a resale certificate?
Only if you're reselling what you buy — there's a field for it on the application. If you're purchasing for a client project or your own use, you can leave it blank.
How do I apply?
Fill out the short application — takes about two minutes.
How long does approval take?
We review every application by hand, usually within two business days.
What happens once I'm approved?
Your account is set up as a trade account. Sign in and trade prices show automatically across the Trade Collection and at checkout; no code needed.
FAQ
Pricing & Ordering
What are trade prices?
Lamps from stock (1 to 49 of a design) are 20% off retail. For 50 or more of a design, made-to-order pricing applies, with 50+, 100+ and 200+ tiers. Every price is on the Trade Collection page.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum on lamps from stock. Made-to-order lamps start at 50 per design (any number from 50 up), with a $5,000 minimum order.
Can I combine trade prices with a discount code?
Trade prices are your standing price, so they don't combine with other discount codes. Free shipping still applies on orders from stock.
How do I place an order?
Sign in to your trade account, open the Trade Collection, add what you need and check out. Orders are paid in full at checkout.
Can I cancel an order?
Made-to-order lamps: you can cancel within 3 business days of placing your order; we'll refund your payment less 15% to cover admin and processing fees. After 3 business days, made-to-order orders can't be canceled or refunded.
Orders from stock: if your order hasn't shipped yet, we'll cancel it and refund your payment less shipping and payment processing fees.
Made to Order
How long do made-to-order lamps take?
16–18 weeks from payment: about 90 days in production, then shipping by sea. Need it sooner? Air freight is available on request and quoted per order.
Is there an extra fee on made-to-order orders?
Yes. A flat import & delivery fee is added at checkout: $1,850 per order ($1,650 on orders of $50,000 and up). It covers the cost of importing your order by sea (customs clearance, import filings and port charges) and delivery to your address in the contiguous US; for very large orders we may quote freight separately. US import duties are already included in the lamp prices. Combine designs in one order to share the fee.
Can I customize a lamp?
Yes. Each lamp is shown in its standard size and color, and we can customize the size or color for your project. Use "Customize it? Request a quote" on the Trade Collection page, and we'll confirm availability, price and lead time before production. For paper lamps, send us the Pantone color code you'd like; you can choose one in the PANTONE® Color Finder (PANTONE® is a registered trademark of Pantone LLC; we're not affiliated with Pantone). Customization quotes are valid for 30 days.
Can I order a sample first?
Yes. For lamps in stock, order one at the trade price. Made-to-order lamps have an "Order a sample" button (1–2 per order, 2–3 weeks), priced at the trade price; standard delivery is $8.99, free on orders over $499. If you then order 50 or more of that design within 90 days, we'll deduct the sample price from your made-to-order order.
What if tariffs change?
Prices include US import duties at current rates. Tariffs are subject to change and are applied as per government rules.
FAQ

I'm sourcing for a larger project — can I get a quote?
