Holdon Paris for Architects and Interior Designers

Yes, this is work we particularly enjoy: interior architects, decorators, and agencies, on both residential and commercial projects. You get a single point of contact at the atelier, physical samples of our finishes, and careful coordination of a single handle family across the entire project. If several batches are needed, we coordinate their production so they move forward together.

Yes, these are projects we know how to support. For this kind of job, we align production with your schedule, inspect each piece before shipping, and can look into options suited to public use, such as a raised logo marking. The best approach is to book a project call to define the scope together.

Our workshop is located in Paris, in the 13th arrondissement, and we welcome professionals there by appointment. You see the full range in person, feel the materials and finishes, and we talk through your project with actual pieces in hand rather than on a screen. To arrange a time, write to us via the contact Holdon Paris page.

Yes, by appointment, as part of a professional project or partnership. We'll walk you through our process: 3D modeling the design, casting a mold from that master, cold casting our metal pieces, then hand sanding and hand-applied patina. This craftsmanship is often something you can highlight in your own proposal to your end client.

Yes. We ship within Europe and beyond, and we can correspond in French, English, and Hebrew. International quotes include shipping and the necessary customs documents, proforma invoice and declaration included. For a high volume project, we can also arrange a consolidated shipment to the freight forwarder of your choice, to simplify logistics and customs clearance.

Yes. Our made to order production can also be organized in series: we schedule production in batches, with a lead time specified in the quote based on volume, and we can stagger deliveries, for example by group of cabinets installed on site. Tell us about the volume and timeline as early as possible: that's what lets us hit your dates.

No, there's no minimum threshold to get professional support: we work with a small custom program just as readily as a large-scale project. That said, certain benefits, like tiered pricing or staged delivery, kick in above a certain volume, specified in the quote. The simplest approach is to tell us about your project so we can let you know what applies in your case.

Yes. Past a certain volume, which varies by model and material, tiered professional pricing applies. The quote is built around your specific quantity, the complexity of the finish requested, and the desired lead time. The earlier you give us these details, the more precise the pricing.

Yes. Architects, decorators, fitters, and partner retailers get a standing trade rate that doesn't depend on order quantity. Just open a professional account and have your status verified. Once the account is active, that rate applies to all your orders.

Yes, in two ways. With a professional account, the sample box from the Samples page is offered to you, shipping included: log in, check the finishes of your choice, and it ships by tracked letter. Without a professional account, its cost is credited toward your first order. For a wider assortment or a specific project, request it through the Holdon Paris contact page, specifying your line of work: it's the best way to judge the reflection, the weight in hand, and the patina before making your choice.

Yes for the metal finishes, bronze, copper, brass, and aluminum, which hold up very well under heavy use and the cleaning routine of a public-facing establishment. For these especially high-demand settings, we'd steer you away from bioresin and certain light-colored finishes, which show wear more visibly. Tell us about the actual use case and we'll point you toward the finishes that will age best.

Three things are enough to activate your trade pricing: a business registration document less than three months old (Kbis extract, or the equivalent commercial register entry for a foreign company), your EU VAT number if you have one, and a photo ID for the account's manager or contact person. Add a short description of your business, architect, interior fitter, hotelier, restaurateur, or reseller. Send it all through the Holdon Paris contact page: the account is usually activated within a few business days, after which you get access to trade pricing, samples, and volume discounts.

Yes, for established professional accounts and on orders that exceed a certain threshold. The exact terms, minimum amount, any guarantees, and credit coverage are defined case by case based on your business, your history, and the nature of the project. For a first order, we generally require a deposit at the time of order, with the balance due 30 days end of month upon invoice.

Yes, that's something we work out from the quote stage. We start from your installation dates and work backward through the schedule to deliver at the right time, with the option of staggering deliveries by phase of furniture installed. If the schedule changes during the project, let us know early: on a large series, that advance notice is what lets us meet your deadlines.

Yes. On request, we provide the piece dimensions, center-to-center measurements, materials and finishes chosen, along with rendering visuals useful for your client presentation. For international projects, the quote also includes shipping and customs documents. Tell us the format you need for your file and we'll prepare the corresponding materials.

Each handle is made to order in our Paris atelier. Allow an average of 5 to 10 business days for production, plus the carrier's delivery time, which varies by address. You'll receive an email with the tracking number as soon as the shipping label is issued, generally between the 5th and 10th business day after your order.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) via Stripe, as well as PayPal. Transactions run through these two international references in online payment: Holdon Paris never sees and never stores your card number, all sensitive data is transmitted encrypted to the platform. The site runs entirely on HTTPS. For large professional orders, bank transfer with a deposit is possible (see architects and professionals).

Yes. French law gives you 14 days from receipt to exercise your right of withdrawal, with no need to justify it. The handles must be returned in their original condition, uninstalled, and return shipping is at your expense unless the error is ours: the refund is issued within 14 days of receipt at our workshop. To start a return, write to us via contact Holdon Paris: we'll send you the address and the process. Custom and personalized pieces are not eligible for the right of withdrawal, since they are made specifically for you.
