For makers

Win work, your way

Baan connects your workshop with buyers who want custom-built or restored furniture. Here's exactly how it works — from your first login to delivering a finished piece.

How it works for makers

Six steps from sign-up to delivery

  1. 1
    Create your maker accountSign up as a maker with Google, LINE or a magic link — no password. Add your studio name, location, a short bio and a few photos of past work so buyers can trust you.
  2. 2
    Find workBrowse the open requests board — custom builds and restorations posted by buyers. Filter by type and pick the jobs that fit your workshop.
  3. 3
    Send your pitchApply to a request with a short pitch, photos of similar work you've done, your price and a lead time. Several makers may apply — make yours stand out.
  4. 4
    Chat with the buyerMessage the buyer in-app to clarify materials, sizes and timing. The conversation is private between the two of you.
  5. 5
    Agree the pricePropose a price, or counter the buyer's — when both sides accept, it becomes the binding agreed price. No numbers lost in the chat.
  6. 6
    Win the job & deliverWhen the buyer chooses you, contact details are shared both ways. Coordinate the build or restoration and delivery — and you're set.
