Möbler´s Founder and CEO Emelie Hedén won the entreprenuership competition Venture Cup with her business plan in may 2015. She won the category People & Society and was one of the winners out of 300. The jury´s motivation was: “Fantastic idea that is scalable and has great potential! A great strength lies with the driven founder with a strong interest in the export of Sweden to Asia”.

BACKGROUND & THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

The background to the desire to open up Möbler came when Emelie was looking frantically for unique vintage furniture in Singapore. She found a trader with a large stock of old furniture. The two decided to collaborate and Emelie opened a store: Re(tro)born in her own living room and were open every other Sunday. Sales and interest among customers were far above expectations, despite very little marketing. The need for unique vintage furniture was evident and the idea of bringing Scandinavian vintage furniture to Asia was born. The need is due to the fact that the Singaporean consumer is well travelled and often follow trends from Europe and now have embraced the trend to mixing new furniture with old. However there are hardly any unique European vintage or antique furniture to be found.

Emelie also assisted the owner of her former employer Dream Interiors (an exclusive furniture company in Singapore) when selling vintage furniture from Europe. Once again the interest of the furniture and the willingness to pay premium prices of vintage was evident. During the three years as Marketing Manager at Dream Interiors, the market even more expressed the desire for unique vintage and antique furniture. Editors at furniture magazines and interior designers all expressed in unison “Hurry up, come! Singapore needs you.” Since the discovery of the gap Emelie has examined the neighboring markets and realized that the same need exists also there. However we have decided to focus on Singapore the first year as that is where we have most market knowledge, know how and network.

THE PRODUCT & HOW IT WORKS

Some styles and items Möbler brings to Singapore have not been seen in Singapore before, or Asia Pacific. Singaporeans will be the first in Asia given the opportunity to decorate their home with unique Scandinavian antiques. Möbler brings furniture produced in 1700s to 1960s. Styles such asSwedish Retro, Gustavian, Rococo, Allmoge, Country/Shabby chic, Industrial, Baroque. A grand mix of furniture, chairs, lighting and character adding accessories. Compared to the few competitors of Möbler we have a wide collection and sell styles never seen before in Asia. The first year Emelie will do the purchase in Scandinavia herself, to the second have created strong relationships enough to place accurate orders from Singapore – in order to streamline the purchasing process. Möbler will ship at least three containers per year per country, purchased at various supplying partners in Scandinavia, for more info see document: SIX YEAR PLAN AND BUDGET. Products are photographed before shipped to Singapore and meanwhile the container sails PR, sales towards interior designers and the auction platform is prepared.

Sales will be made through online auctions, via the website and our own application. Singaporeans often live a hectic life, trying to juggle work with family life. The customers can do their bidding and purchase online from home, in the taxi or on the plane from computer/iPad/smartphone, which saves time for the customer. The innovative way of purchasing via online auction might also add excitement for the customer, it is proven that winning an auction create more positive feelings compared to normal physical or online purchase. It does not exist any online auctions in Singapore today, which will further make the customer feel unique. The auction process can also create a feeling of control, instead of getting prompted by sales staff. Customers will also be able to view, try and feel the products before bidding at online auction, which gives peace of mind. They take little risk compared if they would buy directly from Europe. It is proven that the majority of the Singaporeans still need the ”touch and feel” component when shopping.
