We model your product, make it configurable in the browser and deliver it inside your own site. The price updates with every choice, augmented reality puts it on your customer's floor, and there is nothing to install.

Claims
Four things it does, all of them checkable right now.
- 01
It configures live
Every choice rebuilds real geometry instead of switching between photographs. Width, modules, wheel size: the piece is rebuilt as you choose.
- 02
The price moves
The total updates with every finish and every module, itemised. The quote comes out of the configurator, not out of a phone call.
- 03
Augmented reality at real size
The piece sits on the viewer's own floor, from iPhone and Android, with the file generated on the fly. No app to install.
- 04
The link reopens the exact configuration
Send it to the dealer, the technical office, the customer. It reopens that same piece with those same choices.

Description
How the work goes
We do not sell an off-the-shelf configurator. We build one around your product, starting from the material you already have: 3D models, catalogues, coded price lists, photographs. Our trade is software built to order, and a configurator is software that lives inside your site.
One already in production
Our first configurator went to an Italian maker of bespoke wine cellars: the lighting, the quality tiers and the augmented-reality export you find here all come from that job. The client's name is not public.
- 01
We look at the product
The variants that actually exist, the specification rules, the price-list codes. What can be combined and what cannot.
- 02
We prepare the matter
Your models usually arrive broken up, with no separate materials and the wrong units. We take them apart into their pieces and put them back at real scale.
- 03
We build the configurator
Rules, price list, finishes and views. Realism is verified by holding the screen against your photographs, not by claiming it.
- 04
We deliver it inside your site
A page or a component, in your colours and your typefaces. It stays yours and it stays updatable.

Prior art
The alternatives, stated plainly
- 01
Commissioned photographic renders
Beautiful and motionless. Every new variant is a new quote, and the customer sees only what you chose to photograph.
- 02
Video streamed from a server
It can run anything, but it cannot do augmented reality — that needs a file, not a video feed — and you pay per connected viewer. We evaluated it and turned it down.
- 03
Off-the-shelf configurators
They fit your product to the extent that your product resembles everyone else's. Specification rules usually do not fit inside them.
What you see here runs in a web page, with the product's files inside the viewer's own browser.
Materials and finishes
Foglio 5 / 7
Fig. 5
Materials and finishes
The finishes are not flat colours
Every material is a real photographic scan, tinted at runtime and tuned to its own fibre. That is why velvet behaves like velvet when you turn the light across it, and why a marble slab runs the length of the worktop instead of repeating three times.
Why it reads
The mipmaps are hand-built and converge, tuned per fibre: that is what stops velvet from shimmering as it recedes. Ambient occlusion runs at full resolution — at half, the relief between the ribs disappears, and we found that out by having to rebuild a sofa.
10Fabrics
Cord, velvet, bouclé. PBR scans tinted at runtime.
12Woods
Oak in three tones, grain continuing across pieces cut from one board.
14Stone
Cream and black marble, scanned. One single slab across the whole worktop.
16Metals
Brushed steel, chrome, brass, matt black. Satin paints for the wheels.

Index of plates
Four categories, every one from a real model
These are not examples drawn for a showcase: they are the same kind of files that would arrive from you, run through our pipeline. Open a plate and turn it.
Tav. 6.1Seating
Open the plate →Six collections: two built in code, four from real models. The names come from the places around the studio.
Fabric · Buttons · Exposed wood · Metal base · Legs
Tav. 6.2Kitchens
Open the plate →Composed module by module, linear or island. The units come from a real kitchen, taken apart into their pieces.
Fronts · Worktop · Handles · Tall unit · Wall units · Hood · Plinth
Tav. 6.3Casegoods
Open the plate →Sideboard, side tables and desk. Two lacquers on one piece, with the grain continuing from door to door.
Main lacquer · Second lacquer · Oak top · Feet
Tav. 6.4Other objects
Open the plate →An alloy wheel, a tennis racket, a garden gazebo. They make one point: if it has variants, it can be configured.
Rim · Brake calipers · Frame · Grip · Strings · Structure · Decking
