The Programa Trade Portal is a curated, industry-only marketplace designed to showcase the very best in original, high-quality design. To maintain the integrity of our platform and the trust of our designer community, we only accept products that meet our strict curation standards.
We do not accept replicas or highly inspired products on the Programa Trade Portal. If we identify any such product listed on the Trade Portal, we reserve the right to remove it at any time without notice.
Use the checklists below to ensure your products meet our acceptance criteria.
✅ Acceptable Products
To be accepted on the Programa Trade Portal, a product must:
✔️ Be an original design – your own creation or a design you are authorised to distribute.
✔️ Be authentic – you hold the appropriate intellectual property rights.
✔️ Demonstrate a design-led approach – innovation, uniqueness, or quality craftsmanship.
✔️ Be made from high-quality materials and suitable for commercial or residential specification.
✔️ Include complete and accurate specifications, including:
Dimensions
Materials
Product imagery
✔️ Feature clear branding – product origin must be transparent and correctly attributed.
✔️ Be ready for market – available for order within your primary market.
✔️ Include high-resolution imagery – free from watermarks and professionally presented.
❌ Unacceptable Products
Products will be declined or removed from the Programa Trade Portal if they:
❌ Are replicas or copies of existing, well-known designs.
❌ Are highly inspired by iconic designs or closely mimic protected forms/styles.
❌ Are unauthorised adaptations or reworks of another designer’s product.
❌ Are mass-market or unbranded items with no clear design origin.
❌ Contain low-quality imagery or lack the information needed for specification.
❌ Are private-label imports with no original design input or value-add.
❌ Include misleading branding or falsely imply association with known designers.
⚠️ What Happens If a Product Breaches These Guidelines?
If we identify a product that does not meet our standards - for example, a suspected replica or misleading listing - we reserve the right to:
Remove the product without prior notice
Request clarification or supporting documentation
Decline future listings from your account if repeated breaches occur
Our decision in these matters is final and made at our discretion to uphold the standards of the Programa Trade Portal.
