Deesup is the marketplace for reusing authentic furniture that is innovating the furniture market by extending the life cycle of products according to a circular economy model. Thousands of contemporary and vintage, iconic and discontinued pieces are available on Deesup, all selected by the in-house team of curators according to criteria that guarantee their originality. The products come from private sellers, collectors and design enthusiasts, and the selection also includes display furniture from selected shops and brands.
Deesup has devised a programme to simplify the work of those involved in interior design: even professionals from the world of architecture find in second-hand furniture an opportunity to complete their projects in a unique way. For this reason Deesup has launched the Trade Program, a programme completely dedicated to architects and interior designers that offers privileged access to the shop’s products with previews, a function to reserve them for a few days before purchase, reserved discounts and a dedicated assistance service.
“We believe that interior design is the new frontier for spreading that culture of reusing furniture that has always been our vocation. This is the basis on which our first Trade Program was born, dedicated to architects and interior designers who, thanks to the guaranteed second-hand offer, can enhance their projects with unobtainable pieces, simplifying their research activity,” comment Valentina Cerolini, CEO & co-founder, and Daniele Ena, COO & co-founder.
Thus, created to meet the needs of the sector market, the programme brings second-hand design and values such as environmental sustainability to the general public. A plus that immediately won over Milanese architect Clara Bona, now a supporter of the project, among the participating professionals.
“The support of Clara Bona,” continue Cerolini and Ena, “means a lot and we are enthusiastic about it. With her, we are launching the Trade Programme with the awareness of someone who has been doing this job for years and knows how to recognise the opportunity by grasping its green soul. Having Clara as an ambassador for a project aimed at professionals makes it even more special, and we are certain that our community will be enthusiastic about it too”.
“I love homes with personality, each one different from the next, where the use of authentic design pieces makes them unique and non-replicable,” explains Clara Bona, an architect and interior designer specialising in designing unique homes for the people who live in them. “There isn’t always enough time for a physical search: that’s why I find the new Trade Program service launched by Deesup really useful. It allows me to choose from high-end design furniture, used but in excellent condition, to offer to my customers with a click. The advantages are many: the products are selected by expert curators who guarantee their authenticity, I have access to previews of new arrivals, even with dedicated discounts, and above all I can have the products I choose exclusively for 5 days, so that I have time to evaluate them within the project. Last but not least, thanks to Deesup you can make a sustainable choice, one that favours the circular economy, by choosing used and existing pieces of furniture. And to reuse without waste, creating new projects, is really very satisfying,’ Clara concludes.
Thanks to the expertise of the professionals and their collaboration with Deesup, each selection thus contributes to the spread of a new model of circular consumption.
