Materials & process

A materials library, and how it becomes a hotel.

26 core materials across woods, veneers, metals, stones and fabrics; the FF&E categories we cover; our quality and mock-up process; and how we ship to Malta, Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.

Sourcing. We source boards, timber, veneers, stone and fabrics mainly from Turkish mills and suppliers, and from European mills where a project or a certificate requires it. We do not name suppliers on this site. Certificates such as FSC or PEFC chain of custody and fire test reports are supplied per project when specified.

Values below are our typical specification. Final thicknesses, fire classes, tolerances and lead times are confirmed in each project’s specification and bill of materials. Fire classes follow EN 13501-1 for boards and panels and EN 1021-1/-2 for upholstery.

Quality & mock-up process

Approve before series. Check at every stage.

  1. DrawingsShop drawings for every item with dimensions, materials, finishes, hardware and fixing details, approved by your team before samples.
  2. Material samplesFinish samples for wood, veneer, metal, stone and fabric, labelled and kept as the approved reference for production.
  3. Prototype piecesFor key items (headboard, wardrobe, desk, chair) we can make a prototype first, so details are tested before the mock-up.
  4. Mock-up roomA complete room built in our own factory or on site, depending on the project. It is where design, operator and contractor sign off together.
  5. Pilot batchWhere the roll-out is large, a first small batch checks packing, transport and installation before full production.
  6. Series production with checksChecks at each stage: material receipt, machining, finishing and assembly, against the approved samples and drawings.
  7. Pre-shipment inspectionFinal inspection per batch before packing. Clients or their representatives are welcome to attend.
  8. Per-room packingLabelled per room and per floor in installation order, with protection suited to the transport route.
  9. Installation and snaggingOur teams install, snag and hand over room by room, with a snag list closed before handover.
  10. Handover documentationCare and maintenance notes, finish references and spare-parts information for the operator.
Logistics

From our factories to site, packed per room.

MarketUsual routeThings we plan early
MaltaUsually by sea in containers from Türkiye to Malta, then by truck to site.Container loading planned per floor; island logistics and site access checked early.
GermanyUsually by road with full or part truckloads across Europe; intermodal options per project.Delivery windows to city sites agreed with the main contractor.
NetherlandsUsually by road; sea and road combinations where they suit the project.Narrow city sites may need smaller vehicles and night or early deliveries.
DenmarkUsually by road; sea and road combinations where they suit the project.Delivery and storage planned around the site programme.

Türkiye and the EU are in a customs union for industrial goods, and furniture shipments usually travel with an A.TR movement certificate. Incoterms, duties, VAT, documents and transit times are agreed per project with our forwarder. All routes and timings here are indicative and confirmed per project.
