Hotel furniture from China is not an order of “50 beds from a site”. A hotel has room types, an opening date and a guest who will judge the nightstand edge on night one. FF&E here means furniture, fixtures and equipment that go into the room as a programme. Skipping sample and mock-up is the dearest saving in that programme.
Umbrella for hotel, restaurant and office: interior fit-out from China. Container logic for furniture for sale stays on furniture import from China. Here is the lodging chain. We do not install in the hotel. You hire that locally.
1. Spec by room type, before the factory
Without it every quote is a different bed.
For standard, superior and suite write separately:
- how many rooms repeat
- piece list: bed, headboard, nightstand, desk, chair, wardrobe, bench, mirror, luggage rack if it exists
- dimensions the room can take, including aisle beside the bed and depth that hits the bathroom door
- hotel material and finish, not apartment: wear, cleaning, fabric replacement
- what is fixed, and what a guest may move
- date the room is ready, including on-site install
One standard room often carries eight to twelve furniture pieces, plus light, plus bathroom. If you sum that as “furniture”, the factory will give you a bed and forget the luggage rack. A missing luggage rack in room 40 stops handover of that room.
The designer holds the drawing. Papillon does not sign it instead. We turn an approved list into buying. If the drawing is not final, we do not release a series deposit.
2. Material sample, then a piece sample
First finish: veneer, lacquer, fabric, metal, stone on the top. The guest sees colour before structure. The approved material sample is sealed and stays in the folder, because the factory will later say it is the same brown.
Then the whole piece that repeats most. Usually bed and chair. On them you watch squeak, an edge that tears linen, a drawer that drops, lacquer smell in a closed room, and whether it knocks down the way on-site install can repeat.
One photo is not a sample. A sample is a piece you can return with a remark written on it, not in a message “a bit darker”.
3. Mock-up room, before the hotel count
One room, at the factory or on site, with furniture, lighting and what the guest touches. There you fix what the drawing did not see: nightstand misses the socket, chair scuffs the wall, headboard hits the AC, mirror eats the aisle.
Corrections go into the drawing before you order the hotel count. If you order 120 rooms and then try one, the fix is a new series and new lacquer. That costs more than a week of waiting.
Lighting does not wait until furniture is done. A hotel luminaire has lead, driver and a mount method. Parallel plan: lighting import from China. Ceramics and sanitary, if part of the room, go through building-materials import. The bathroom must be closed before upholstered pieces enter, or they dust from works.
4. Count the series by room, not by average
A hotel fails on a missing piece, not on average price.
- each piece has a code that matches the room list
- packing protects edges and fabric, not only a carton around
- pre-load QC opens pieces from mid-series, not the first prototype
- the container plan counts volume by room type, so a suite does not mix with standard at unload
- breakage reserve travels in the same lacquer and fabric lot, written in advance
Sea is the main path for this weight. Transport China-Serbia and CBM calculator. Real carton is measured on the sample, not on a render.
Custom pieces: custom hotel furniture from China. If the date is short, part of the suite can stay a finished model, and standard can run from drawing. Choose that at the start, not when the factory already cuts board.
Papillon delivers what was approved, in the count the list says, without a finish change on the way. Install, chasing and investor handover stay local. Contact with room types and opening date.
