Who The Oblist works with on a restaurant. You design. The Oblist delivers.

A restaurant project brings together the people who design it, the people who run it and the group behind it. The Oblist works with each of them, from the same list, on one quotation.

You keep the restaurant interior design and the specification. The Oblist gives you net pricing through its Trade Program, holds pieces on request and handles quotation, production and delivery. Your client approves the selection from a shared project link, with the prices you choose to show.

You have appointed a designer, or you are building the list yourself. Either way, The Oblist quotes the whole list in one document and remains your single point of contact until delivery.
Create your trade account
You open several sites and manage the FF&E for each. The Oblist returns one quotation across studios, so you deal with one supplier rather than one per studio, and delivers to site or to your receiver.

For every kind of table.

A tasting menu and a cocktail bar do not receive the same way. The Oblist supplies the pieces that fit how each one receives.

Fine dining.

Few tables, a long evening. Every piece is looked at for three hours: the lamp on the table, the chair, the wall.

Frequently asked questions.

Do you supply all the furniture for a restaurant?

The Oblist focuses on high end restaurant furniture, lighting and art for the parts of the room your guests notice most: the lights, the bar, the private dining room and the walls. For dining chairs in large identical series, a contract manufacturer will usually be the better fit.

Can restaurant lighting be ordered in multiples?

Yes, studio editions can be ordered in multiples, and the quantity available is confirmed with each studio at quotation. Unique pieces, by nature, exist only once.

Can you deliver before our opening date?

Whenever lead times allow, yes. Simply share your opening date along with the list: lead times are stated on each piece and confirmed in writing with the quotation, before any order is placed.

Can my client see the selection without seeing my net prices?

Of course. Each project is shared with your client through a link, and you choose whether they see retail prices, net prices or no prices at all.

Can pieces be made to custom dimensions and finishes?

In many cases, yes. The original studio can make the piece to order in the dimensions and finishes you need, and each request is quoted case by case.

Do you work from a restaurant FF&E schedule?

Yes. You can send the FF&E schedule, a simple list or a mood board, and The Oblist will return a single quotation for pieces from several studios.

Do you deliver to restaurant sites worldwide, and who handles customs?

Yes. Each quotation includes crating, insurance and delivery to site, wherever it is. Customs clearance can be added on request; otherwise, import duties are paid by the recipient.

Is there trade pricing for restaurant projects?

Yes. Once your account is approved, you receive net pricing, 5 to 15% below retail on eligible pieces.
