Burnt Oringe International is a Hong Kong-based FF&E sourcing agency that buys furniture, fixtures and equipment in Asia for property developers, architects, interior designers and retailers. The company was founded in 2009 as a home textiles business focused on low-toxicity materials and moved into full FF&E procurement; founder and CEO Tarynn Hatton-Jones still leads it. Work starts with a needs assessment and a room-by-room scope document, then runs through factory selection, custom furniture development, production management, photo-documented quality checks and consolidated shipping. Its factory network covers China, Vietnam, Indonesia and India, which matters when one supplier fails or a project needs a second source in a different duty regime. Clients are mostly project-driven rather than e-commerce sellers, so the agency prices per project and stays involved until the container lands.

Burnt Oringe International is an FF&E procurement agency, not a general trading company. It buys furniture, fixtures and equipment for property developers, architects, interior designers and retailers, which means the unit of work is a building or a rollout rather than a single product SKU. The company was set up in Hong Kong in 2009 as a home textiles business built around low-toxicity, organic materials, and the founder's interest in material health is still visible in how the team talks about finishes and specification. The operating model is documented in more detail than most agencies in this directory. On appointment the team produces a needs assessment, then a scope document listing every item by room, level or floor, with client priorities marked. That becomes the production pack the factories quote against. Production is managed with photographs at each quality check stage, and finished items are inspected at the factory against the original specification, with measurement and finish checks backed by photos and video. Nothing is packed for shipping without the client's written approval. Shipping has been handled in-house since 2009. The factory network is the commercially interesting part. The site names China, Vietnam, Indonesia and India, and describes using the alternatives deliberately when a supply chain is disrupted or when duty treatment favours one origin over another. For a hotel or residential project with a fixed opening date, having a second country already mapped is worth more than a marginally lower unit price. What it is not: a low-volume e-commerce sourcing partner, and not a marketplace. There is no self-service pricing, no published commission and no product catalogue with prices. The team is small, LinkedIn lists 2 to 10 employees, so capacity for new projects is limited and timelines should be agreed before design work depends on them. One detail worth knowing: the current legal entity, Burnt Oringe International Limited, was incorporated in Hong Kong in January 2022 under BRN 73735696, while an earlier company of the same name from 2009 is recorded as dissolved. That is a normal corporate restructuring, but procurement teams should ask which entity signs the purchase contract and who holds the deposit.
No rates are published. FF&E agencies of this type normally charge either a percentage of order value, typically 8 to 15 percent for project furniture with customisation, or a fixed project fee plus a smaller sourcing commission, and often a separate charge for shipping and consolidation. Ask for the split between sourcing fee, production management fee and freight, whether the fee is charged on FOB value or landed cost, whether factory visits and re-inspections after a failed check are included, and what happens to the deposit if a factory is replaced mid-project. Get the commission treatment of custom items in writing, because upholstery and case goods often carry a higher rate than catalogue furniture.

China, Vietnam, Indonesia and India. The agency describes using alternative factories in those countries to keep a project moving when one supply chain is disrupted or when origin rules make another country cheaper.
Production is checked in stages with photographs, finished items are inspected at the factory against the original specification including measurements and finishes, and nothing is packed for shipping without the client's written approval.
Not really. The model is built around projects and rollouts, with scope documents per room or floor and consolidated shipments. Buyers looking for single-SKU sourcing with published minimums are better served by an agent focused on e-commerce volumes.
