Custom 2.5m Artificial Pine Tree for a German Design Firm
Project Overview
A design firm in Germany needed a 2.5-meter artificial pine tree for a client project. Instead of providing technical drawings, they chose one of our existing pine tree designs and asked us to produce it based on the product photos, customized to a height of 2.5 meters. They also required air freight with door-to-door delivery and all taxes included.
The Brief
The client had three clear requirements:
- 2.5-meter height — the tree needed to be produced at this specific height.
- Based on an existing design — the client selected a pine tree from our current range and asked us to follow its style and proportions.
- Air freight, DDP — the tree had to be shipped by air, delivered to their door, with all duties and taxes covered.
Challenges
This project was straightforward in terms of production, but there were a few points to manage:
- Adapting an existing design to a new height — the original design was a different size. We needed to adjust the proportions to 2.5 meters while keeping the same natural look and character.
- Air freight and DDP logistics — air shipping, customs clearance, and door-to-door delivery with taxes included involve multiple steps. Each stage needs to be coordinated carefully to avoid delays.
- First-time trust — the client is a design firm with professional standards. The first order had to meet their expectations to open the door for future cooperation.
Our Solution
Customized height from a selected design: Our craftsmen used the chosen pine tree design as a reference and adjusted the structure to reach 2.5 meters. The trunk shape and needle distribution were kept consistent with the original style, while the overall height matched the client’s request.
Hand-sculpted trunk and realistic foliage: The trunk was hand-sculpted to mimic natural pine bark, and the foliage was made from high-quality materials for a realistic appearance. Even up close, the tree looks natural and well-proportioned.
Air freight with DDP delivery: We arranged air shipping and handled export customs, import clearance, final delivery, and all taxes. The client only needed to receive the tree at their door—no extra paperwork or logistics on their side.
Clear communication throughout: From production to delivery, we kept the client updated on each milestone to ensure a smooth process.
The Result
The client was very satisfied with the first pine tree. Later, they had a second project, and even though the contact person had changed, the new contact still came directly to us. The second project was also shipped by air, this time to France. This showed that the client trusted both our product and our service.
