A trade purchasing layer built around professional designers.
Object & Order helps interior design firms organize projects, schedules, and procurement in one system. When they are ready to buy, we coordinate payment and order placement so your team gets clear context and a direct line to the studio—without replacing the relationship you already have.
What Object & Order is
A platform for interior designers and their teams: practice tools (projects, schedules, tasks, email, client-facing dashboards) plus a purchasing flow built around multi-vendor residential work.
Designers keep specifications, markup, and client approvals in the product. When they move forward on a batch of items, the platform supports invoicing the homeowner and, after payment is confirmed, placing the trade orders behind those line items.
We are not trying to be the “face” of the relationship with your studio clients. The model is infrastructure—clearer data on the design side, a cleaner handoff at order time, and a path toward integrations and marketplace tools as volume grows.
What it means for you
On purchase orders, the designer’s contact information is provided to you, so service expectations stay familiar. Object & Order may act as the buyer of record in the flow, but the studio remains the account you know—not an anonymous middle layer.
Studios verify trade credentials in onboarding, so the network skews toward credentialed professionals. That matters if you rely on trade pricing, showrooms, and long-term relationships.
How orders typically flow
- 1 The designer builds selections in a schedule—products, quantities, status, and notes.
- 2 When a batch is ready, the client is invoiced through the platform.
- 3 After payment is confirmed, trade purchases are placed; you handle confirmations, ship dates, and support as you do today.
- 4 On the designer side, email and automation map vendor confirmations back to the right lines—fewer “which project is this?” threads.
How this can help
Cleaner inputs
Lines often arrive with project context from a structured schedule, not only forwarded threads.
Verified designers
Trade access and credential checks are part of how studios join the platform.
Aligned incentives
We grow when real projects move through the product—not from charging showrooms up front to be listed. Today the focus is reliable end-to-end purchasing with studios you already serve.
Room to scale
As volume grows, direct integrations can replace manual placement where it helps both sides. Longer term, vendors can participate more directly (e.g. storefronts)—same ecosystem, not a separate silo.
