Careers

A product crosses seven desks here.

The person who picks it, the one who photographs it, the one who sells it and the one who ships it work along the same corridor. From here you see the whole chain, not a slice of it.

How we work

A company that decides quickly.

Decisions are taken in a handful of rooms and the people see each other every day.

The group has grown while staying the size of the people who work in it. Whoever picks a product talks to whoever photographs it, and whoever photographs it talks to whoever sells it. No decision waits a month for a signature.

In return you are asked to take responsibility early, and to say when something is not working instead of waiting for someone else to notice.

Departments

Seven departments, and what they ask for.

This is not an org chart: these are the places we actually hire. The site comes before the requirements, because the commute decides more than the job title.

  • Buying and product

    Line development, factory relationships, sampling and quality control. This is the department that works with the offices in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Fuzhou.

The sites

Four addresses, four different jobs.

How it works

What happens after you send it.

  1. 01

    It reaches HR

    Not a generic inbox: the application goes into the list the HR office actually looks at.

    No automated reply, because it says nothing.

  2. 02

    It is read and filed

    If there is no matching role right now, it stays on file and comes back up when one opens.

    Kept for the period stated in the privacy notice.

  3. 03

    The interview

    When the profile is needed, we arrange an interview on site: you see the department and meet the people in it.

    On site, not on a call: the place matters here.

  4. 04

    A test, where the role asks for one

    For design and photography we look at the portfolio and agree a paid test. Other roles do not need one.

Questions

Before you write.

Are there roles open now?

The current list is to be confirmed: roles change often and belong here as they open.

In the meantime a speculative application is not a fallback: HR reads it and keeps it.

Is there travel to China?

In the buying office yes, a few times a year, when sampling or an inspection calls for it. Not in the other departments.

The daily work with Guangzhou, Shanghai and Fuzhou happens from Genoa, which is why English is required.

Is there remote work?

Not much. The warehouse, the showroom, the photographic set and the plant are physical places, and even in the offices the advantage of this group is that people talk to each other face to face.

The exact arrangements are to be confirmed, department by department.

Do you take interns?

Yes, in agreement with schools and universities. Write telling us your course and the period.

Do you reply to everyone?

We read everything. We reply when there is a role that fits the profile, and we keep the application on file.

An automated thank-you helps nobody, so we do not send one.
