Intiaro uses visualization tech to attend High Point Market remotely.
Even as things have been slowly returning to normal, this year’s spring High Point Market still looked a bit different. As of June 2021, the U.S. was still restricting international flights from Europe, which meant that our employees at the Warsaw office in Poland were unable to attend the market in person. However, that didn’t stop Senior Account Representative Karol Wróbel from making an appearance to visit clients and prospects.
As visual search technology gains steam, so does 3D visualization.
2021 is a red letter year for visual technology of all sorts — from video calling to 3D visualization and augmented reality. Another prominent area that is seeing rapid adoption from a variety of industries is visual search. Beyond this technology’s use by search engines, furniture companies and retailers are also starting to optimize their websites to better suit visual searches.
More opportunities materialize for tech-minded furniture makers.
In our last blog post, we highlighted some of the positive trends in furniture and 3D visualization markets. And in that short time, we’ve already seen new signs of growth emerge, combined with promising economic indicators for stakeholders and prospective investors. It’s no surprise, then, that many of these latest trends still stem from COVID-19’s lasting economic impact.
As COVID Loses Steam, 3D Visualization, Furniture Markets Continue to Grow.
Now that it’s been over a year, and we’re potentially near the end of one of the most dangerous pandemics witnessed in modern history, there’s no shortage of articles about COVID-19’s economic impact. Across the world, massive industries have been disrupted, and businesses have been forced to reprioritize their spending. However, with the passage of time comes important data, and so far, that data points to massive opportunities for companies choosing to invest in 3D visualization and augmented reality.
All signs point to an active spring pre-market.
After being postponed again due to the continuing pandemic, High Point Market has a new date for their spring market—June 5-9. But it’s Premarket that’s got so many vendors excited this year. Happening from April 25-27, at least 244 showrooms have planned to participate in the spring Premarket, which has excited enthusiasts and vendors alike.
E-commerce is Inevitable. So is 3D Visualization.
There’s been a lot of talk about digital transformation within the past year. And there’s a good reason for it. Even as industries have been gradually making the transition as a result of improving and more easily accessible technology, now, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become a means of survival.
Bridging the Gap Between Manufacturer and Designer with 3D
Supply chains are a tricky consideration for any sales strategy. Especially for retailers or brands who outsource production, there are often many steps between product creation and the end user of that product, which is why any good sales strategy must account for the full spectrum of the sales path, from inception to closing. Luckily, 3D visualization is a priceless tool that can make the space between sales and manufacturing much more manageable.
Appeal to Style-conscious Consumers with 3D Visualization
By now, you’ve probably heard a lot about 3D visualization and its various perks. And if you’ve been following this blog for any amount of time, you’re something of a 3D visualization expert by now. But believe it or not, there’s still plenty more to learn. One important benefit of 3D visualization that we’ve only briefly touched on is how it can help brands stay on top of the latest styles and optimize sales through interior designers and showrooms. Keep reading to find out how!
Diminishing Market Schedule Provides New Opportunities for Virtual Presentation
When 2021 started, hopes were high that the new year would bring new opportunities. Not just for the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, but also for new product lines and designs to bring to the upcoming High Point and Las Vegas furniture markets. However, while many still predict that the pandemic will end this year, the immediate future is still uncertain, leading to these trade shows being postponed once again.
What does Digital Transformation mean for you?
As we head into a new year, it’s abundantly clear that more has changed than just our calendars. The economic landscape has been permanently altered by a worldwide pandemic, a new president was sworn in just yesterday, and everybody’s talking about digital transformation. But what exactly does that look like? If you’re feeling a bit lost, you’re not alone. Here’s some insights into what digital transformation means for the furniture industry.
As we prepare for 2021, a look back at 2020.
2020 has been a year. At this point, it feels redundant to echo the widespread exhaustion and troubles these past 365 days have caused, so we won’t be focusing on that. For Intiaro, though, 2020 has been an absolutely pivotal year in many ways. It’s been a hard year, yes, but it’s also been a proving ground for us and for 3D visualization in general.
Intiaro wins CEE Scaleup Challenge
Continuing on the same positive trajectory that has helped propel them through 2020 and the pandemic, Intiaro has been announced as the winner of Vestbee’s 2020 CEE Scaleup Challenge.
Gaming tech is the new gold standard for visualization.
It’s no secret that gaming visuals and the overall quality of graphics have both experienced previously unimaginable levels of progress within the past few years. And when you consider the driving force behind it—a widespread competition to come out with the best, most engaging graphics available, it makes sense that these innovations would follow.
DesignerBoard3D Announces Design Competition Winners
Recently, Intiaro launched a new platform for interior designers known as DesignerBoard3D. As we were working on this new tool, we had members of our Designer Advisory Board use the platform to create 3D renders of furniture, using a frame of their choice from the Product List on the DesignerBoard3D website. Then, the Intiaro team and the other designers on our board all voted for our favorite designs.
3D visualization is the next essential tool for furniture brands. Here’s why.
Nationwide, 3D visualization is taking off. There’s lots of reasons for this. In addition to its capacity to increase sales, its affordability and practicality during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have made it an increasingly clear choice. However, there’s another reason it’s so popular - it appeals to the consumer’s desire to know what they’re getting into before they make a purchase.
3D Visualization and Augmented Reality boost sales — but don’t just take our word for it.
3D visualization is one of the hottest new trends in online marketing and sales. Even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, retailers were seeing a boom in the use of augmented reality. Today, that trend has hit a new peak, with more and more consumers preferring to shop from the comfort of their own homes.

With over 2,000 fabrics and finishes, multiple options for arms, seats, and legs, and even more details like welts and cords, this 3D configurator is the most ambitious implementation of any such application in the world. We’ve created a seamless web and mobile experience from LHB through to retail websites and mobile devices in the retail space. Retailers and Interior Designers can now create product tear-sheets straight from a visual configuration and even preview a uniquely configured item in the customer’s home.
Vanguard Furniture
Intiaro brings one of the fastest and clearest versions of 3D visualization to date to Vanguard Furniture.
Due to Intiaro’s innovative approach to technology, Vanguard now has the capability to set up a full, 3D virtual product photography scene in the cloud by generating an ad hoc 360 photography session and setting up lighting conditions and camera parameters. It accomplishes this by using technology that traces individual rays of light. The session is executed per request for each customized furniture piece. By tracing individual rays of light, Intiaro is able to produce photorealistic 360 visualizations in a matter of seconds. The key benefit of this technology is that on top of providing a fantastic visualization experience and great flexibility when managing the product life cycle, the total cost of ownership is much lower than traditional photography or traditional 3D rendering services offered on the market today.
