Working With Safaya on a Project: Trade Pricing, Framing, Delivery and Installation

Most people who reach out to Safaya about a project ask the same first question, not "what do you sell" but "how does this actually work." That question deserves a real answer, not a product page. This is the walkthrough: what trade pricing covers, how a curated set gets chosen for your space, what the canvases are physically made of, and how a shipment gets from our production floor to a hung wall in Riyadh, Jeddah or anywhere else in the Kingdom.

It is written for the person who owns that decision on a project: an interior designer building a mood board for a client, a fit-out contractor closing out a snagging list, an FF&E buyer working through a hotel schedule, or an office or clinic manager who has been handed a budget and a set of bare walls. None of you need a lecture on art. You need a supplier who answers the practical questions before you have to ask twice.

Everything below describes how Safaya works today, not an aspiration. If a step here does not match what we can deliver for your project, we will tell you before you commit to it.

What trade pricing actually includes

Trade pricing on a Safaya project is not a discount code applied at checkout. It is a per-project rate built around three things that only apply once you are ordering more than one or two pieces: volume, framing, and logistics.

• Volume. The rate improves as the order grows, from a handful of pieces for a boutique clinic reception to forty or fifty for a hotel's guest floors. There is no fixed minimum to start a conversation, but the pricing is built for multi-piece orders, not single-canvas retail purchases.
• Framing included. Every canvas in a trade order ships framed and ready to hang. You are not sourcing a separate framer, matching finishes across suppliers, or absorbing a second lead time. One quote covers the finished, wall-ready piece.
• Delivery and installation. Freight and on-site hanging across Saudi Arabia are part of the same quote, priced against the actual site and piece count rather than bolted on afterward. This is covered in full further down.

The fastest way to get an accurate number is to send the brief described in the next section. A rough budget range up front also helps: it tells us whether to propose a tighter, higher-impact set or a broader scheme across every wall you have. Full pricing detail and the request form live on our offices and trade page.

How the curated proposal is built

You do not need a finished shortlist of artwork to start a project with Safaya. Most clients arrive with a space and a deadline, not a list of pieces, and the process is built around that.

1. Share the space. Photos of the walls, dimensions where you have them, the room or zone count, the interior brief or brand guidelines, and the budget you are working to. For a hotel or office fit-out, a floor plan speeds this up considerably.
2. We propose a scheme. A curated set, zone by zone: a statement piece for the lobby, a repeating series for corridors or guest rooms, a single considered work for the boardroom. Each recommendation names a specific piece, size and edition, not a vague style direction.
3. You adjust and approve. Swap pieces, resize, or ask for alternates in a different palette. This is a conversation, not a take-it-or-leave-it quote.
4. Production begins. Once approved, each piece is printed and framed to order against the confirmed sizes.

For a corridor or a run of identical guest rooms, the same visual language is usually carried across a series, either the same subject repeated in different sizes or a small family of subjects that read as one designed scheme rather than a random mix. Our Offices and Hospitality collection is curated specifically for this kind of project work, and a browse of it is a faster starting point than a blank brief.

What you are actually buying: production and specification

This is the section worth reading closely if you are the one who has to defend the spec to a client or a facilities committee.

Every Safaya piece is a giclée pigment print on 100 percent cotton canvas, rated archival for over a century. That matters commercially, not just aesthetically: a hotel lobby or a clinic reception is under sustained daylight and artificial light for years without a repaint or a re-hang, and the print needs to hold its tone through all of it. Limited editions carry a Certificate of Authenticity, which matters for hospitality and government clients where provenance gets asked about.

Sizing runs across two families, and knowing which one a wall needs is most of the specification decision:

• Standard family: 60x90, 80x120, 100x150, and 120x80 cm, the workhorses for guest rooms, corridors, offices and clinic bays.
• Panoramic family: up to 192x108 cm, genuinely lobby and boardroom scale, sized for the long, low walls behind a reception desk or a conference table where a standard canvas would look stranded.

As a working rule, a single feature piece should span roughly two-thirds of the width of the wall or furniture beneath it, hung with its centre at eye level. Where no single canvas covers that span, a composed set of two or three pieces at even spacing does, and at close range in a corridor or waiting area, a multi-piece set often reads better than one oversized print. Editions are available in Flow, Legacy and Crown across the full size range, which lets a scheme hold one consistent visual language from lobby to guest room while varying scale by zone.

Delivery and installation across Saudi Arabia

Once production is confirmed, pieces are packed and shipped ready to hang, framed and protected for transit, to any site in the Kingdom. Installation is quoted alongside delivery rather than treated as a separate booking, which matters for a fit-out programme where the art has to land inside a fixed handover window between the contractor's snagging and the client's move-in date.

Two things speed this part of a project up considerably. First, tell us the handover date at the first conversation, not after production has started; installation and freight are planned backward from it. Second, if a site has access restrictions common to hotel and government buildings, security clearance, delivery time windows, freight elevator bookings, flag them early so the installation crew is not turned away at the door on the day.

For multi-site rollouts, such as a bank with several branches or an operator opening more than one property, pieces can be scheduled to arrive in phases that match each site's own handover, rather than one single shipment that forces every location onto the same timeline.

Getting a quote started

None of this requires a finished decision on your end. Send the space, whatever photos or plans you have, the walls that need filling, the look you are after and the budget you are working to, and we will come back with a curated proposal built to that brief, priced with trade rates, framing and installation already factored in. Start from the offices and trade page, where the request form goes straight to the team handling project work, or reply directly if you already have a contact here. We would rather answer the practical questions now than have them surface halfway through a fit-out.
