KANSO Trade Program

Interior Designer Trade Program for Furniture, Lighting, and Home

The KANSO Interior Designer Trade Program gives design professionals trade pricing on high-end Scandinavian and Japanese furniture, lighting, rugs, and tableware. An interior design trade program is a business account that lets interior designers, architects, decorators, home stagers, and set decorators purchase from a retailer at a designer discount for client projects. KANSO is an authorized U.S. retailer for every brand we carry, with full manufacturer warranty and insured delivery on each order.

Most of the furniture trade programs designers know are single-house lines. KANSO is multi-brand: one trade account opens designer pricing across Audo Copenhagen, Ferm Living, New Works, NORR11, Nordic Knots, Hasami Porcelain, and 101 Copenhagen. You source the lounge chair, the pendant, the rug, and the tableware for a room from one account, one point of contact, and one white-glove delivery process.

Trade Pricing and Designer Discount

Approved members receive trade-only pricing on full-price furniture, lighting, and accessories across the catalog. There is no annual fee and no minimum order to maintain your account. Pricing applies to residential and commercial work, so the same designer discount covers a single client room or a full project specification. For larger orders and contract work, we quote project pricing directly.

Who Qualifies for the Trade Program

The program is open to credentialed design professionals, including interior designers, interior decorators, architects, landscape designers, home stagers, set decorators, and design-build firms working on residential or commercial interiors. Approval requires proof of your design business, such as a resale or sales tax certificate, a business license, or design credentials. Applications are reviewed individually.

Brands Available to the Trade

KANSO carries Danish, broader Scandinavian, and Japanese design lines that are difficult to source under one trade account elsewhere.

• NORR11 — Danish furniture brand known for lounge seating and dining in a restrained Scandinavian line.

We carry the complete catalog for each brand, including pieces not listed online. Send the model name or a reference image and we will quote it for your project.

Sourcing and Project Support

Each trade member works with a direct contact for product selection, lead times, finish options, and order coordination. We confirm stock and production timelines before you specify, handle tax-exempt purchasing where your documentation is on file, and arrange white-glove delivery for large furniture so pieces arrive inspected and placed. For hospitality and contract projects, architects and specifiers can request volume pricing and freight quotes ahead of order placement.
