The Designer Trade Program Explained

If you are an interior designer, architect, builder, hospitality buyer, or staging professional working in or around Las Vegas, the most important thing the new Eichholtz Las Vegas showroom does for you is open the door to a properly resourced trade program. The Designer Trade Program is the operational backbone of how we work with the design community: professional pricing on the full Eichholtz catalog, a Las Vegas-based team that thinks like a project office, and a clean, fast approval process that gets you specifying within days, not months.

This piece walks through the program — who qualifies, how approval works, what you actually get when you are in, and how the trade program complements our separate Partner Program for designers who want to be paid commissions on the work they introduce.

Trade access is reserved for verified professionals and is subject to application review.

Who can apply

The trade program is built for the people who specify, source, install, and stage furniture professionally. In practice, that means five overlapping audiences:

• Interior designers and design firms — independent designers and design studios working on residential, hospitality, and commercial projects. Whether you bill by hourly fee, flat fee, percent of cost, or markup, the trade program is built to plug into your workflow.
• Architects and architectural studios — including firms that handle FF&E and procurement in-house alongside their architectural practice.
• Luxury home builders and developers — production builders and custom home builders specifying packages for spec homes, model homes, and developer-furnished closeouts. Branded residence and amenity-program teams are explicitly welcome.
• Hospitality and procurement teams — the in-house and outsourced specifiers handling boutique hotels, restaurants, private clubs, branded residences, and the procurement layer that supports them.
• Staging professionals — including high-end stagers working on luxury listings and developer model programs in Summerlin, Henderson, MacDonald Highlands, The Ridges, and the broader Las Vegas Valley.

What the trade program gives you

Beyond access to the catalog at trade pricing, the program is a working relationship with our showroom team. Trade pricing itself is tiered — the discount increases as your annual volume with us grows, and additional perks unlock at larger order sizes. The specifics are shared with you at approval and as you move between tiers, so your account manager can keep the structure current with how you are actually working. In practice:

• Professional access to the Eichholtz collection — including The Met x Eichholtz, the Corey Damen Jenkins Lighting Collaboration, the Maison Moghadam Rug Collection, and the Atelier customizable upholstery program.
• Dedicated support for project sourcing and specifications — finish samples, dimension confirmations, COM (customer's own material) handling for the Atelier program, sourcing for items not currently in our Las Vegas inventory.
• Order coordination and delivery. Free curbside delivery is standard on qualifying trade orders, and white-glove options — in-room placement, uncrating and debris removal, coordination with general contractors on tight punch-list windows — are available when a project needs them.
• Scaling perks with project size. Larger and recurring orders unlock additional perks — expedited handling, priority sourcing for constrained items, more flexibility on delivery windows. These move with your tier rather than being negotiated order by order.
• Showroom consultation — bring clients in to sit on the chairs they're choosing between. The lounge and consultation areas are built for this kind of work.
• Priority communication — trade inquiries are handled on a separate queue from general inquiries, with response time targets that match how design offices actually operate.

How approval works

The application is short. You provide your firm name, contact information, the kinds of projects you work on, and supporting evidence of your professional credentials — typically a website, recent project portfolio, business license, or trade-association membership. We verify the information, and approved applicants receive confirmation by email. Allow one to two business days for review.

We try to be sensible about credential verification. Newer firms, recently licensed designers, and rising stagers should not feel they need a twenty-year resume to apply — what we are looking for is a credible, professional design practice, not a specific years-of-experience bar. If your firm is brand new, attach what you have, and we will work with you.

What changes when you are inside the program

The single biggest practical change is that you stop emailing us. You log in. The full Eichholtz Las Vegas catalog is searchable at trade pricing inside your account, with finish, dimension, and lead-time data on every piece. You can build quotes directly from the site, save project lists, and share specification sheets with clients and contractors without having to manually rebuild a PDF every time something changes. The program is designed to live inside your existing workflow, not to replace it.

Behind that, the showroom team is the human layer — the part that handles the things software cannot. That includes one-off sourcing, COM coordination, custom freight, on-site consultations, and the unavoidable last-minute changes that every real project produces.

How the trade program differs from the partner program

The two programs are structured to do different things. The Designer Trade Program is about buying power and specification support: you get trade pricing, sourcing, and white-glove order management. The Eichholtz Partner Program is about commissions on referrals: you share a unique partner link or discount code with clients, and you earn commissions on every order they place — without doing the buying yourself, and without the project running through your trade markup.

Some firms use both. A common pattern: trade access for the projects you are actively designing and specifying, and the partner program for clients who want to shop the showroom directly with your blessing. There is no rule that you have to choose one model over the other, and the programs are designed to coexist cleanly.

Hospitality and developer projects

For hospitality and developer teams running larger projects, the trade program is the entry point — but the day-to-day relationship typically grows beyond the standard program. We are happy to set up dedicated project teams for branded residences, boutique hotels, club programs, and amenity-floor installations. If you are running a project that involves fifty rooms, a clubhouse, an amenity floor, or a model home suite, mention it on your trade application and we will set up a project call rather than process the form generically.

Staging

Staging is its own discipline, with its own constraints — turnover speed, inventory rotation, the practical realities of moving furniture between active listings. The trade program supports staging professionals with the same access as the design audience, and our team will work with you on the specifics — repeat-order packages, fast-turn replacements, and the kinds of in-stock, photographs-well pieces that staging projects depend on.

Apply

The application form lives at eichholtzlasvegas.com/pages/trade-program. Most applications are reviewed and approved within one to two business days. If you have a project in flight that needs trade access immediately, mention the timeline in the form's notes and we will prioritize it.

Once approved, you will receive a confirmation email with login instructions for your trade account, contact information for your dedicated showroom team, and an invitation to come in and walk the showroom — when the doors open at Tivoli Village, you will already be inside the program.
