European build, shipped to your port.

CAL 117, and the rest of the submittal
TB 117-2013 is written in California but specified across US contract interiors, and it is the flammability documentation most projects ask us for. Because upholstery is done in-house, compliance is documented against the fabric actually on your order rather than a generic range statement. Dimensions, weights, finishes and packaging are published per SKU for the submittal package, and CMHR fire-retardant foam is standard throughout.

Freight, sized to the order
Small orders and samples move LCL; a property fit-out moves as a full container. Either way the goods are crated at the factory and shipped through our nominated forwarders or yours, quoted ex-works with freight shown separately so it can be compared honestly. Import duty, customs brokerage and any tariff treatment sit with your broker; we supply the commercial invoice, packing list and origin declaration they will ask for.

Why the lead time matters more at this distance
Four weeks ex-works holds regardless of quantity, because frames, metalwork and upholstery are made in one building and there is no inter-supplier queue to slip. On a transatlantic order that predictability is worth more than it is inside Europe: the transit is the variable you cannot compress, so the production window is the one that has to be reliable.

- Do you supply CAL 117 documentation?
- Yes, on request, matched to the fabric specified on the order. BS 5852 and EN 1021 can be documented instead where a project calls for them, and CMHR foam is standard across the range.
- How do you ship to the United States?
- Crated from the factory, by full container or LCL depending on order size, through our nominated forwarders or yours. Quotes are ex-works with freight shown separately; your customs broker handles the entry and any duty.
- Is there a minimum order for US buyers?
- No. Volume pricing starts at thirteen units, and sample units carry a further 25 percent discount, which is how most US buyers evaluate a range before committing to a container.
