We’re looking for an enthusiastic FF&E Librarian to join our Shanghai studio, with a special focus on FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment) and material curation. If you’re someone who loves getting into the details—tracking finishes, organizing samples, and making sure every spec is accurate—this role offers a great chance to grow your expertise while playing a key part in our daily design operations.

Responsibilities:
– Own the FF&E documentation process: prepare, update, and maintain specs based on team selections; step in to suggest options for missing or minor items when needed.
– Support materials specification: help with research, documentation, and sourcing alternatives for hard finishes, and handle supplier coordination as required.
– Take charge of the materials library: this is a central part of the job—keep the Shanghai office’s physical library in top shape, from logging new samples and arranging shelving to phasing out outdated materials.
– Act as the bridge with vendors: request and track samples, literature, and pricing, while keeping supplier contact lists up to date.
– Help assemble complete documentation packages, making sure material schedules and FF&E specs are thorough and precise.
– Bring sharp attention to detail: every finish, fixture, and piece of furniture should be clearly documented with no room for misinterpretation.
– Work closely with senior designers, architects, and the broader team to ensure FF&E elements and library resources fit seamlessly into project workflows.
– Keep an eye on industry trends: stay curious about new materials, finishes, and FF&E developments, and bring fresh ideas that can enhance our designs.
– Review and double-check FF&E specs for accuracy, functionality, and alignment with project needs.
