Quick answer: contract furniture is made to measure to fit out a complete professional space (hotels, care homes, clinics, offices or residential developments), based on an interior designer’s project and with a schedule and a building site to coordinate.
How it differs from catalogue furniture
- Made for the project: sizes, materials and finishes come from the interior designer’s scheme, not from a catalogue.
- Produced in series: dozens or hundreds of rooms or workstations with the same quality.
- Installed on site: timing has to be coordinated with the contractor and other trades.
- Built to last: heavy use, frequent cleaning and, depending on the building, safety and regulatory requirements.
Who is involved
The owner (a hotel chain, a healthcare group, a company), the interior design studio that designs the spaces, the contractor or site management that coordinates the programme, and the manufacturer, who turns the design into real furniture and installs it.
How a project is managed, step by step
- Project review: we study drawings, quantities and finishes, and suggest technical solutions and alternatives where a piece can be made better.
- Shop drawings: the technical office draws every piece and the interior designer approves them.
- Model room or unit: we make a complete unit to approve sizes, finishes and installation before the series.
- Series production: we produce in phases, following the order in which the site releases the spaces.
- Logistics and installation: we deliver floor by floor or area by area and install with our own team.
- Snagging and after-sales: we walk each space with site management and deal with any adjustments.
The model unit: the best investment
A model room or workstation costs little compared with the project and avoids mistakes that would be multiplied by a hundred. It is the moment to adjust a dimension, change a piece of hardware or fine-tune a colour in the real light of the space.

Frequently asked questions
Do you manufacture from another studio’s design?
Yes, that is the norm: we work from the interior designer’s scheme and solve the technical details with them.
How long does a contract project take?
It depends on the volume. We give you a firm lead time as soon as the model room is approved.
Do you install?
Yes, with our own team, anywhere in Spain.
