Project Background

A hotel developer in Nairobi was building a 48-room boutique property targeting business travelers and tourists. They needed a complete FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) package that would give every room a consistent luxury feel — while keeping per-room costs within a fixed budget. Managing 15+ separate suppliers was not feasible for their project timeline.

Client Requirements

  • Consistent finish and quality across all 48 guest rooms.
  • Durable materials suitable for high-turnover hospitality use.
  • Complete furniture package: bed frames, nightstands, desks, chairs, wardrobes.
  • Bathroom fit-out: vanities, mirrors, toilets, shower enclosures.
  • Public area materials: lobby marble, restaurant furniture, curtains, lighting.
  • Fixed per-room budget with transparent pricing.

Products & Materials Supplied

  • 48 × custom bed frames with integrated bedside tables and reading lights
  • 48 × wardrobe systems with safe box, minibar cabinet, and luggage rack
  • 96 × bathroom vanities with stone tops and under-mount basins
  • Lobby marble flooring and reception desk cladding
  • Restaurant dining chairs, tables, and banquette seating
  • Full blackout curtain systems for all rooms
  • Corridor carpet and guest room engineered timber flooring

Design & Material Strategy

We produced one complete 'model room' set first — shipped in advance by air freight — so the developer could inspect every item, test durability, and approve the full package before bulk production. This de-risked the entire order. All guest room items were designed with hospitality-grade durability: reinforced bed frames, commercial-grade fabrics, and scratch-resistant surfaces.

How We Delivered

From order confirmation to final container arrival.

1

Model room phase: One complete room set produced, air-freighted, and approved within 4 weeks.

2

Bulk production: 10-week manufacturing run with dedicated QC team assigned full-time to this project.

3

Progress reporting: Bi-weekly video calls showing production status; photos of each product category before packing.

4

Containerization: 8 × 40ft HQ containers, loaded by room type for easy on-site distribution. Color-coded labeling per floor and room number.

5

Logistics: CIF to Mombasa Port with bonded trucking to Nairobi. All import documentation prepared by our export team.

The Result

The hotel opened on schedule. The per-room FF&E cost came in 30% below the developer's original budget based on local and European quotes. All 48 rooms have consistent quality — a key requirement for the hotel's brand standard. The developer has since commissioned us for their second property, a 72-room hotel in Mombasa.
