FF&E Procurement

Designed With Care

A win-win, a one-two punch — offering both design and procurement services lets us manage every aspect of a project through completion, meeting budgets and exceeding expectations.

Red Pen Procurement was created to help make the process easier for designers and clients alike. It's a win-win for everyone.

We partner closely with Red Pen Procurement on projects requiring FF&E or decorative materials. Since they own their own warehouses, receiving and warehousing costs are controlled, giving us better control of your install timeline than working through third parties alone.

They're critical to our turnkey process, and they're just down the street from us.

The Banko Effect

We Are Passionate Stewards Of Your Budget.

Talking about money shouldn't — and won't be — awkward. We plan for it from the get-go, always accounting for how FF&E and materials play into the mix. Don't have a budget? We'll help you create one. And we'll stick to it.

Together, We Shape The Vision.

We're here to craft a story together. Your goals, visions and input combined with our expertise, savvy and creativity make for an interior design space unlike any other.

We Know Your Project's Demographic.

We rigorously research the neighborhood of your project to infuse local flavor into the design. It creates a stronger connection between the space and its future inhabitants. We know how to create spaces that never alienate the project's demographic.
