About

A small studio, sourcing interior furniture and decor from China.

Built around one commitment: your project has a single point of contact — from the day we quote your brief to the day the container leaves the yard.

Based in
Foshan
Sourcing since
2020

Where I work

In the middle of the interior belt.

Foshan sits at the centre of southern China's furniture and interior manufacturing region. Within a two-hour drive are the factories that produce most of what a hotel, villa, or restaurant interior needs — loose furniture, joinery, carpets, lighting, hardware, metalwork. We don't fly in to source your project. We're based here. The suppliers we use are ones we can visit the same afternoon.

How we work

Three commitments.

Not a mission statement. The three things a client can hold us to, on any project.

i.

One point of contact, from brief to loading.

Your project has a single lead on our side — from the day we quote your brief to the day the container leaves the yard. No hand-offs between departments; nothing lost in translation between them.

ii.

We supervise production, whether the contract requires it or not.

From white body through each production stage to finished piece, we're physically at the factory. Not because the client asked. Because every piece a client orders carries meaning — and our job is to deliver that meaning intact.

iii.

Only what we can personally hold.

A limited number of projects at a time. The moment the person quoting your brief is disconnected from the person checking your goods, the commitment breaks.

A working moment

Sample review, Foshan.

Every project passes through a table like this one before production begins. Materials laid out, references pinned, notes written by hand — the last quiet moment before an order becomes goods.

A note on origin: ailikee grew out of years spent inside the trade — from documents and factory floors, to soft-furnishing schemes for restaurants that shipped. What began as a role became a practice.

"Every piece a client orders carries a vision of the space it belongs to. Our work is to deliver that vision intact."

— Kailee, Founder
