COLD IS GOLD × ISSY GRANGER
OPERATIONAL BRIEF · OCTOBER 2026

A predictable flow
of new trade clients.

This document lays out an operational plan to open new trade accounts with high-end interior designers in the UK and the US through cold email outreach, leading with your hand-made lighting — reading time ~ 6 minutes.

Read first

What you are about to read is a first take, drafted ahead of our conversation to give you a concrete preview of how we work.

The prospects, signals and projections presented here are working hypotheses — we will refine them together during the engagement.

The aim of this document is to let you picture concretely what a campaign could produce.

01 / YOUR BUSINESS

We understand your DNA.

Issy Granger is a London homeware studio, launched in October 2019 by Isabelle “Issy” Granger after several years of building it alongside a day job, and following in the footsteps of an artist mother and grandmother. Every piece starts as one of Issy’s own sketches and is then made by hand by one of eight maker workshops: glass mouth-blown and hand-painted by a family-run workshop in Cairo, merino lambswool throws woven in a historic West Yorkshire mill, linen lampshades finished with the striped and coloured trims that have become a signature. The names carry the story too — candlesticks named after Egyptian gods and cities, throws named after Keats, Marlowe and Wilde. The brand already works with hospitality: a limited-edition egg cup with The Wolseley, bespoke martini glasses for the Dash × Perelló kit in January 2026, and a trade account for interior designers with bespoke and bulk orders through the studio.

What sets you apart

Three things a designer will notice straight away. First, this is designed, not sourced: every shade, glass and throw starts as a drawing and is made by a named craft, not picked from a factory catalogue that every other studio is also scrolling. Second, the look is recognisable — the stripes, the coloured trims, the hand-painted glass — which is exactly what a layered, colourful scheme needs to stop looking bought in one go. Third, the studio can make it for the project: through the trade account, a trim or a stripe can be done in the scheme’s own colourway, which turns a nice accessory into a specified piece. And every piece arrives with a story the designer can hand to the client.

What we will push on your behalf

Lighting first, because that is what interior designers already buy from you. The angle is not “we sell lampshades”, it is the problem every colour-led designer knows: the right shade in the right colour usually does not exist, so the scheme settles for the nearest stock option, or for the same few lighting brands everyone else specifies. Issy Granger’s hand-made linen shades, in a project’s own trim and stripe, answer that directly. Then we open the door to the rest of the catalogue — the Cairo glass, the candlesticks, the throws — as the finishing layer on the same project, because a designer who already has a lighting supplier may still be missing exactly that. The ask stays small: a few trim swatches for their next scheme, not a supplier agreement.

02 / YOUR MARKET

A market identified and qualified.

We size this from public counts rather than from a market report. In the United States, the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns record about 16,800 interior design establishments with employees (NAICS 541410), consistent with the ~17,500 firms ASID projects for 2025. In the UK, IBISWorld counts 6,235 interior design businesses in 2025. That comes to about 23,000 interior design studios across your two markets. We deliberately leave out the ~135,000 American solo practitioners with no employees that broader counts include: most of them are not working at the level your pieces sit at, and keeping them out keeps the projections honest. Within those 23,000, every studio is then screened on its own published work for what matters to you: high-end residential or boutique hospitality, and a colour-, pattern- and craft-led eye.

How we build this database

We start from the directories designers actually appear in: BIID and ASID members, the House & Garden 100, the Country & Town House 50 Finest, Homes & Gardens Next in Design, House Beautiful Next Wave, the ELLE Decor A-List, show-house line-ups such as WOW!house and Kips Bay, Houzz project pages and the design press. LinkedIn, the studio’s own site and Instagram then give us the named person: Founder, Principal Designer, Creative Director. Every contact is finally verified and enriched by AI: a read of the studio’s published projects for level and for colour and pattern, a check on which lighting makers already appear in their schemes, business email validation, and the exclusion of studios that sell their own lampshades. Impossible by hand across twenty-three thousand studios — this is what makes qualification at that scale possible.

Why 50% are contactable

Interior design studios are small, which cuts both ways. The decision-maker is easy to identify, because it is almost always the founder whose name is on the door. But many studios publish only a studio@ or hello@ address, and a good share of the best designers live on Instagram rather than LinkedIn. On the ten-studio sample in Section 04 we found a named founder or principal for all ten and a verifiable personal LinkedIn profile for seven; where there is none, we drop the link rather than substitute a company page. The 50% ratio is deliberately conservative for that reason, so the projections you are reading stay realistic rather than optimistic.

Both markets allow B2B cold outreach to a business address, with sender identification, a documented legitimate-interest assessment and one-click opt-out: CAN-SPAM in the United States, and PECR in the UK, where we contact limited companies and LLPs as corporate subscribers. Studios that make and sell their own lampshades are removed, since they are competitors rather than buyers. The 38 figure is market headroom rather than a delivery promise; we can tighten it to one country, one city or residential only, or widen it to architects and hotel groups, once Phase 1 has run.
03 / AI PERSONALISATION

Emails that look written by hand.

The difference between an email that gets deleted and an email that gets a reply is rarely the product, it is the first sentence. A designer gets supplier emails every week and can tell within two seconds whether the sender has actually looked at their work. So the AI here is not writing the pitch: it reads the design press, the show-house line-ups, the project credits and the studio’s own site at a scale a person could not, and pulls out one verifiable fact per studio. That fact becomes the opening line, in the vocabulary the designer actually uses. No flattery, no horoscope copy, no “I love your work” — just a room, a project, a maker or a date that could only belong to them.

The principle: when a designer reads the email, they should think “this person has seen my rooms”, not “this is a mailing list”. Every opening sentence cites a precise, verifiable fact in their own words — scheme, trim, colourway, pleated, gathered, specified, show house, install.

Here are the 3 types of signals we would use to personalise every email sent on your behalf, stacked from most-findable to most-valuable.

01

The latest room with their name on it

What we look for Their most recent published project, show-house room, award or list, with its name and its date, from the last twelve months. It proves we have looked at the work and gives the email a reason to land now rather than any other week.

Sean Symington designed “The Withdrawing Room” with Zardi & Zardi at WOW!house 2026, Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, in June 2026, pitched as “Park Avenue meets English country manor”.

AI personalisation →

“Saw The Withdrawing Room you did with Zardi & Zardi at WOW!house in June. Park Avenue meets English country manor is exactly the kind of room where the lampshade does half the work.”

02

What is already on their lamps

What we look for The lighting and decorative makers credited in their published schemes: whose shades, whose lamps, whose glass. It tells us they already buy the category, and from whom, which is the most relevant thing a lighting studio can know before writing.

Alexandra Childs decorated the 14 cottages and the manor house of Cottage Orné, Cornwall, which opened in January 2026. The lighting credits include Matilda Goad and Munro & Kerr.

AI personalisation →

“At Cottage Orné you mixed Matilda Goad and Munro & Kerr across fourteen cottages, so I’m guessing you never buy the same shade twice.”

03

A change in the studio itself

What we look for A new studio, showroom, shop, rebrand, book or hotel opening in the last twelve months. These are the moments a studio rebuilds its supplier list and its shelves, which makes it the most valuable signal when we find it.

Jeffreys Interiors, Edinburgh, announced on 16 July 2026 that it is becoming PHINA, with a renewed Stockbridge showroom and a role in “collecting, curating, hosting”.

“With Jeffreys becoming PHINA and the Stockbridge showroom moving towards collecting and curating, I wondered what you’re planning to put on the shelves.”

04 / PROSPECT SAMPLE

10 interior design studios identified by our AI.

Before launching at full scale we always start with a sample of 10 real studios, picked across your two markets — five in the UK, from London to Edinburgh, the Cotswolds and Cornwall, and five in the US, from Philadelphia and Charleston to Dallas, Raleigh and Berkeley. For each one we name the decision-maker, surface a recent and dated signal, and explain why that studio is worth approaching now. The same method is then applied to your full base of around 11,500 contactable prospects.

For each prospect, our AI identifies a concrete signal: a published project, a show-house room, an award, a book, a new studio or a rebrand. That signal justifies why to reach out now and gives the email its opening line. Every signal below is dated and traceable to a public source from the last twelve months.

Two things are worth flagging before you read them. Every one of these ten studios is run by the person named, so the email reaches the person who specifies the lighting, not someone who has to pass it on. And at least four of the ten already put hand-made or trimmed shades in their published rooms — Matilda Goad, Munro & Kerr, Pooky, Robert Kime fabric shades — which means the conversation starts from a category they already buy. We found a named decision-maker for all ten and a verifiable personal LinkedIn profile for seven; where there is none, we drop the link rather than substitute a company page, which is also why the contactable ratio in Section 02 is 50% and not higher.

01

Studio Flora

Flora Slater · Founder
Young residential studio in Queen’s Park, London: layered, pattern-rich, cosy interiors; trained at KLC, ex-Nina Campbell and Spinocchia Freund.
SIGNAL DETECTED · AWARD

2026. Named a Homes & Gardens “Next in Design 2026” winner (cohort announced in May, winner profile published 30 September 2026), which describes her trademark as “character, charm and a really good stripe”. A Domino tour of her own home (April 2026) shows striped lampshades and fabric pendant shades.

WHY THIS PROSPECT FOR ISSY GRANGER

A designer whose signature is literally the stripe, who already uses striped and fabric shades at home, and whose studio is new enough that its supplier list is still being written. A hand-made trimmed shade in a project colourway is the most natural first conversation Issy Granger can have.

02

PHINA (formerly Jeffreys Interiors)

Jo Aynsley · Creative Director & co-owner
Long-established Edinburgh studio in Stockbridge, residential and hospitality (The Tempus, Nira Caledonia), known for bold colour, pattern and “playful moments”.
SIGNAL DETECTED · REBRAND & SHOWROOM

16 July 2026. The studio announced it is becoming PHINA, with a new identity, a renewed showroom and a wider role in “collecting, curating, hosting”. Their Edinburgh penthouse ran in Homes & Interiors Scotland (May/June 2026) and they entered the Country & Town House 50 Finest list for the first time.

WHY THIS PROSPECT FOR ISSY GRANGER

A studio rebuilding both its identity and its shelves at the same moment. That opens two doors at once for Issy Granger: specification on their drenched, theatrical projects, and pieces for the new curated showroom, where the glass and candlesticks belong as much as the shades.

03

Studio Alexandra

Alexandra Childs · Founder
London studio founded in 2016: expressive, characterful homes and boutique stays, bold wallpaper, antiques and reclaimed pieces with a sustainability angle.
SIGNAL DETECTED · HOSPITALITY OPENING

January 2026. She designed all 14 individually decorated cottages and the manor house at Cottage Orné, a restored 17th-century hamlet in Cornwall, announced in December 2025 and back in the press for autumn 2026. Lighting credits include Matilda Goad and Munro & Kerr.

WHY THIS PROSPECT FOR ISSY GRANGER

She already buys hand-made decorative shades from Issy Granger’s closest peers, so there is nothing to explain about the category. Fourteen units decorated individually is exactly the brief where bespoke trims and colourways earn their place, and boutique hospitality reorders.

04

Sean Symington Design

Sean Symington · Founder & Principal Designer
Residential and boutique hospitality studio founded in 2019, based in Tetbury with work in Bath and London: a traditionalist who “takes colour seriously”.
SIGNAL DETECTED · SHOW HOUSE

June 2026. He designed “The Withdrawing Room” with Zardi & Zardi at WOW!house 2026, Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, pitched as “Park Avenue meets English country manor”. Also on the Country & Town House 50 Finest 2026/27 and in 25 Beautiful Homes (March 2026).

WHY THIS PROSPECT FOR ISSY GRANGER

English country with colour, pattern on pattern, antiques next to contemporary art: Issy Granger’s look, almost word for word. His own project notes specify “lamps with green shades”, so coloured shades are already part of how he finishes a room.

05

Harriet Sale Ltd

Harriet Sale · Founder
London decoration and renovation studio with joyful colour, pattern and texture, from Victorian lodges to family houses.
SIGNAL DETECTED · PUBLISHED PROJECT

September 2026. Her project “Wildest Dreams” ran in The English Home, after a feature in Period Living (November 2025), and the studio is on the Country & Town House 50 Finest Interior Designers 2026/27 list (July 2026).

WHY THIS PROSPECT FOR ISSY GRANGER

Before her own studio, Harriet was Head of Product Design for the Penny Morrison accessories collections, a decorative lampshade brand. She knows hand-made trimmed shades from the inside and will judge the craft in seconds, which is exactly the audience Issy Granger’s quality is built for.

06

Tartan & Toile

Lucy O’Brien · Founder & Principal Designer
Residential studio in Philadelphia and Greater New York, named after her two favourite patterns: layered, story-driven interiors with a historic-preservation streak.
SIGNAL DETECTED · SHOW HOUSE

February 2026. She designed the “Entertainment Command Center and Powder Room” at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach 2026, inspired by Marjorie Merriweather Post, with chinoiserie wallpaper, Pierre Frey drapery and seashell pendants. A House Beautiful Next Wave designer (2025).

WHY THIS PROSPECT FOR ISSY GRANGER

A brand built on British and French pattern used eclectically is the American mirror of Issy Granger’s own story, and her press profile is titled “Stripes are a neutral”. Young, rising and still building her supplier bench: the profile most likely to answer.

07

Cathy Kincaid Interiors

Cathy Kincaid · Founder & Principal
Owner-led Dallas firm founded in the late 1970s, known for colour, antiques, chintz, hand-painted finishes and “dressmaker details”; ICAA John Staub Award.
SIGNAL DETECTED · BOOK

8 September 2026. Rizzoli published her new book, “Cathy Kincaid Memorable Rooms: Artisanal Collaborations”, entirely about bespoke work with artisans, featuring makers such as Lisa Fine and Leontine Linens.

WHY THIS PROSPECT FOR ISSY GRANGER

One of the most English-leaning decorators in America, whose published rooms already use pleated shades in Robert Kime fabric. A book about collaborating with artisans, out this month, is the most direct opening imaginable for a designer-led studio offering hand-made shades in bespoke colourways.

08

Angie Hranowsky Studio

Angie Hranowsky · Founder & Principal
Founder-led Charleston studio known for bold but sophisticated colour, vintage finds and an art-forward mix.
SIGNAL DETECTED · PUBLISHED PROJECT

28 June 2026. ELLE Decor published a tour of her South of Broad house in Charleston: pink dining room, pistachio kitchen, yellow bedroom. A Wentworth journal feature on her own home followed on 31 July 2026.

WHY THIS PROSPECT FOR ISSY GRANGER

She already buys British: a Jamb mantel, a Soane rattan table, a Susan Deliss fabric in the same project. And her own kitchen shelves display hand-blown glasses and candlesticks, which makes her the clearest case in this sample for opening on the shades and following with the Cairo glass.

09

Jo Lyle & Co.

Johanna Lyle · Principal & Owner
Young Raleigh studio specialising in historic homes: layered, “gathered” interiors with jewel tones, vintage and hand-made pieces.
SIGNAL DETECTED · AWARD

14 May 2026. House Beautiful named her to its Next Wave class of 2026, the magazine’s list of emerging designers to watch, confirmed on her own site.

WHY THIS PROSPECT FOR ISSY GRANGER

An emerging designer who openly favours hand-crafted, unusual suppliers, at the exact moment national recognition brings bigger projects. Historic homes call for pieces with provenance, and a trade account with bespoke colourways is a supplier relationship she can grow with.

10

Redmond Aldrich Design

Chloe Redmond Warner · Founder & Creative Director
Berkeley studio of about 13 people founded in 2005: layered, story-led rooms (“pretty and perfectly weird”), plus its own RAD Goods textiles and wallpaper.
SIGNAL DETECTED · NEW STUDIO & BOOK

5 May 2026. She opened the firm’s new studio at 1911 Fourth Street, Berkeley, with a launch party for her debut book, “This Must Be the Place: Homes with Atmosphere” (Abrams, spring 2026).

WHY THIS PROSPECT FOR ISSY GRANGER

“Homes with atmosphere” built on colour, pattern and personal stories is the same language Issy Granger speaks. She mixes vintage lighting with makers’ pieces, and her own RAD Goods line covers textiles and wallpaper, not lighting, so a hand-made shade complements rather than competes.

05 / CAMPAIGN EXAMPLES

Real campaigns we have run.

These 13 examples are intentionally varied — both in sector (construction, hospitality, luxury, SaaS, influencer marketing, editorial, EMS, factoring…) and in outcomes. You will find campaigns matching each of our 4 projection scenarios — from the minimum guarantee to exceptional cases. The goal is not to show a curated best-of, but the genuine diversity of what we produce. The campaign cards below are kept in their original French to remain faithful to the real artefacts we delivered. The AI-personalised sentences are highlighted in terracotta.

Ongoing
Good to know: phases 2, 3 and 4 run in parallel with the technical setup (phase 1). Concretely, during the 1-month technical warm-up we build your database and write your sequence — so the first emails go out from week 5.

Phase 1 — Technical setup

Creation of dedicated sending domains, SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration, opening and setting up the email addresses, launch of the warm-up (1 month). No action required on your side.

Phase 2 — Workshop (1h)

A structured working session to define together the structure of the database, the tone of voice for the emails, and to gather your case studies and key differentiators. This phase runs in parallel with phase 1 (Technical setup).

Phase 3 — Sequence copywriting

First draft, feedback rounds and optimisations with you, then layering in the AI personalisation (the signals shown above). We validate the overall email content with you before moving on to the database.

Phase 4 — Database build

We assemble a sample of prospects (like the 10 above) for you to validate. Once approved, we build the full database with quality control: field verification, contact qualification.

Phase 5 — Campaign launch

Sending starts as soon as the warm-up is complete. First results within the first week. Real-time tracking: open rate, reply rate, opportunities generated.

Phase 6 — Reporting & optimisation

Real-time reporting through our platform. Continuous adjustments and A/B testing on subject lines, opening sentences and sequences. Regular monthly or quarterly check-ins depending on results.

Our commitment
No contractual commitment on the number of opportunities.

How the guarantee works in 3 clauses.

D0 · Launch
CLAUSE.01
Our commitment

We commit to generating at least — opportunities per month, i.e. — opportunities over — months. This target matches the low scenario of our projections (10% of our clients' campaigns).

M+1 · Check
CLAUSE.02
If we fall short of the target

As soon as a month closes below — opportunities, your billing is immediately frozen. Concretely: you stop paying from that month onwards, until we have fully caught up the cumulative shortfall. You never pay for a month where we don't deliver on our commitment.

M+3 · Limit
CLAUSE.03
If the shortfall persists over 3 consecutive months

Termination is possible at no cost. We keep working at our own expense during those 3 months of shortfall; beyond that, we acknowledge the failure and you are no longer billable for what follows.

Dynamic values

The figures shown in these clauses are not fixed: they are recalculated automatically based on the parameters set in your simulation above. The final contractual commitment will depend on the parameters validated together at the start of the engagement.

Contractual definition of an opportunity: a prospect responding positively to one of our prospecting emails — either an information request or a meeting request.

In addition to fees, 3 technical costs to plan for.

The first is a one-off investment that you own for life — your prospects remain yours, even if you stop working with us. The other two are monthly technical subscriptions, essential for any cold email campaign.

A FINAL WORD

This document is not a sales pitch. It is a projection built on the real numbers from our campaigns — the scenarios presented are not promises, they are averages observed across our clients.

Our method has been operational for several years. It works as soon as the fundamentals are in place: a clearly identified market, a differentiating positioning, a measured closing rate. Issy Granger has all three.

Our conviction is that we can install for you a steady stream of qualified trade opportunities over the next 12 months — with indicators we steer together, month after month.

Whenever you want to talk about it concretely, we are here.
