Swatchbox are a Platinum Partner 2025/2026
The BIID are delighted to welcome Swatchbox back as a Platinum Partner
Swatchbox for Interior Designers
Swatchbox is a free, architect-founded platform designed to simplify material research and sample sourcing for building professionals. It offers a streamlined way for architects, interior designers, contractors, and others to discover and request samples from top building product manufacturers around the world. Users can browse and organize materials into custom palettes and collections, then request samples to be delivered in a Swatchbox — with complimentary next-day or second-day shipping. Each box includes instructions for returning and recycling unused samples, supporting sustainability with every delivery.
Swatchbox for Manufacturers
Swatchbox also serves as a premier sample fulfilment solution for building product manufacturers. Created by insiders of the design industry, the platform uses proprietary technology to connect manufacturers with the design community more efficiently and effectively. It enhances product visibility, boosts brand loyalty, and ensures samples are delivered with speed, intelligence, and an elevated customer experience.
Reducing Sample Waste
Sample management has long been a challenge in the design industry, especially when it comes to waste. Designers frequently face difficulty returning unused samples, often resulting in recyclable or reusable materials being discarded. Swatchbox has an accredited CPD course - Reducing Sample Waste in Design - exploring practical solutions for designers to reduce environmental impact. Central to these efforts is Swatchbox Pro, a platform that enables designers to order samples from multiple brands in one shipment, simplifying both delivery and returns with a pre-paid label and centralized return location.
