How we understand a collaboration

  • Idealium Materials : all collaborations are developed using our materials.
  • Expertise and coherence : we look for projects with a modern, functional and well-explained design.
  • Long-term relationship : we are interested in profiles with a desire to grow alongside the brand.

Types of collaboration

Within Idealium Collabs there are three ways to collaborate. You can request one or more (they are compatible with each other).

1) Collab Starter — Patterns designed by creators

We publish projects created by program contributors on the Patterns Blog . Each pattern is presented with the visible credit: “Designed by [Name] for Idealium” .

  • Idealium edits, structures and publishes the pattern.
  • The pattern recommends and links to the Idealium materials used in the project.
  • Ideal if you enjoy designing and explaining clearly step by step.
How do we select a Starter project?

Before any shipment or purchase of material, we review a brief proposal to ensure fit with the brand and feasibility of the design.

  • Project idea + visual references (moodboard).
  • Proposed Idealium material and colors.
  • Level, techniques and approximate measurements.
  • Estimated consumption (approx.) and schedule.

2) Collab Pro — Design of kits and capsule collections

Selected collaborations to develop official Idealium kits (materials + pattern). In some cases, a Pro collaboration may evolve into a capsule collection .

  • Idealium defines the kit composition, presentation, and sale.
  • We are looking for designs with an excellent explanation and an aesthetic that is very much in line with the brand.
  • Recommended for profiles with experience and the ability to deliver a "ready-to-sell" design.

3) Collab Partner — Affiliation and prescription of materials

If you enjoy recommending materials and sharing projects on your channels, you can collaborate as a Partner. This format is designed for influencers who want to promote Idealium through affiliate links.

  • Promoting Idealium materials on social media, blogs, newsletters, or YouTube.
  • Compatible with Collab Starter and Collab Pro.
  • After reviewing your request, we will tell you the next step to activate the collaboration.
