The Arimokko designer trade programme, in plain terms

A designer arrives at our trade counter with a floor plan, a fan of finishes, and a deadline that was tight last Tuesday. The conversation that follows takes twenty minutes. That, more than anything, is what the Arimokko designer trade programme was built for — taking the friction out of the part of your project you cannot design your way around: the making.

What the designer trade programme actually is

In plain terms, it is factory-direct access. Interior designers and design studios work straight with our Senai production floor — the same CNC lines, the same E1-certified boards, the same edge-sealing standards that sit behind our own Mokko Kitchen range — without a showroom margin standing in between.

You bring the design intent. We carry it through cutting, edging, and quality checks, and deliver carpentry that arrives as drawn.

How it works, step by step

First, a conversation — your drawings, your finishes palette, your dates. Then a single point of contact who speaks both languages: design and production. Quotations come itemised, so you can see where the money lives. Lead times are committed before fabrication begins, not revised after it. And because every panel is machine-processed, the tenth cabinet matches the first.

What stays yours

Everything that matters. Your client relationship, your design fee, your name on the finished work. We are the quiet partner in the background — the workshop your projects rely on, not a competitor for the room. Many of the homes on this journal began exactly this way: a designer’s drawing, our boards, and no drama in between.

Joining, in one step

Write to us with your studio name and a current or upcoming project. We will come back with trade terms, a materials pack for your library, and a direct line to the factory. No tiers to climb, no minimum volumes to promise — just a working relationship that starts with the first job and earns the second.
