General information

Short Summary
The Danish company is a start-up nad seeks European suppliers of pots and pottery. The Danish company needs manufacturers that can produce for a-design´s private label.
Full Description
Product Line
The Danish company aims to specialize in selling flowerpots with a modern Nordic design. The pots should be lightweight relative to their size and available in various dimensions ranging from Ø 20 cm to Ø 50 cm. Some models will feature hidden wheels, with the base slightly elevated and the sides extending down to conceal the wheels, leaving approximately 5 mm of clearance.
Additionally, the Danish company will offer elegant pedestals with hidden wheels to maintain a minimalist aesthetic.

Material and Design Requirements
The pots should be made of polystone, fiberstone, ficonstone, straw grass or a similar material that combines low weight with high durability. The largest pot, with a diameter of approximately Ø 50 cm and a height of 60 cm, must not exceed 10 kg in weight. Therefore, the pots shall be lightweight and not overly compact, yet strong enough to withstand daily use without cracking or breaking.

As the Danish company is a start-up flexibility concerning order sizes is requested in the first phase of a cooperation.
