feature around age seventeen, he went to work in the office and began to learn more about production and sourcing. “At age eighteen, I made my first flight to the Bespaq owned factory in China. It was there that I came to under- stand the process between design and manufacturing. Being fluent in Chinese, I was able to communicate smoothly with the manufacturing end. I especially gave close attention to the details that were required to make Uncle Pit’s designs come to life.” “It was not until about six years before Uncle Pit died that he wanted me to help design Bespaq pieces with him. While he taught and shared his creative design process, he never allowed me to do it alone.

feature From Design to Manufacture: The Bespaq Way Bespaq International provides its President Shawn Flading the perfect place to showcase his new and innovative miniature products. A topnotch designer, Shawn’s fresh ideas provide inspiration to miniaturists for fun and interesting projects. When it comes to high-quality and desirable “off the shelf” miniature furniture, Bespaq offers the best of the best. It is a giant in the miniature world. Each piece is made with the needs of the serious miniature collector in mind. So, what is the process from design in the U.S. to manufacture in China? Shawn Flading tells us: 1. The beginning of the design process usually starts in one of two places. Sometimes, inspira- tion comes from something wonderful I’ve seen. More often, however, it comes by planning exactly what sets of furniture our customers have said they need. 2. From there, I do a lot of research to find pic- tures of items that I like. 3. Then, I have to come up with the measure- ments for the pictured items. This is a closely held trade secret taught to me by my uncle, Pit Ginsberg, the founder of Bespaq. 4. Once the dimensions are finalised, I send the pictures and dimensions to our factory in China. The factory then comes up with a drafted drawing based on the dimensions given. 5. At this point, I have to look at it and make more changes to the furniture to give it my own pizzazz. I also have to closely examine the pro- portions. It may take up to ten revisions on the drafted picture before this is done. 6. Now, it goes back to the factory to be put into the sampling process. 7. Once I receive the sample back, I make more changes to the item until I am completely happy with it. This can take around three to five samples. 8. After I’ve approved the sample, it is time to go fabric shopping if the item requires upholstery. It is always difficult to find fabrics nowadays. It is a constant search every week, going to fabric stores. 9. It is then into the production stage and the final product arrives onto our shelves. This process can take from three months to one year, to make an item from beginning to end. 58 august 2014 D O L L S H O U S E W O R L D

feature idea became a reality with the help of my very good friend and fellow designer Dale Kendall. It is one of my favourite designs.” By working with designs already in progress and understanding what is coming out of the factory next, Shawn decides what furniture needs to be made. For example, he has a new kitchen set coming out, so he will not design kitch- ens again for a year or so. This criteria works with the other room suites, too. The factory in China Bespaq’s furniture is a product of creative collaboration between Shawn, as designer, and the gifted artisans employed in the company’s factory in China. “For over twenty years, we have had an exclusive, company owned factory in China. Many companies claim to use my factory and those statements are incor- rect. Our facility is state of the art with room and board for all of our talented workers. We take great pride in provid- ing for our employees in China. This past year, we remodelled our facility to give our workers even better living con- ditions.” The factory is located in a very rural province in northern China with forty- two workers total. Most of the workers are categorised as drafters or sample makers. “We have three extraordinarilyABOVE: Grande Casino Moving Slot design centre in San Francisco to seeMachine, Blackjack Table, and Swivel what is being promoted today.
