On the thesis: iFurnit - consuming as experience: Individuality unites all humans in our desire to not only be part of the masses, but also to be individuals with our own ideas and needs. We are seeking possibilities to identify ourselves, a platform where we can realise our thoughts and ideas, a memorable and a sustainable experience.
The platform, a configurator based on flash plugins, accompanies and supports our individual creativity when creating our individual dream furniture. Highly efficient information architecture allows to learn and use the software by playing and does not require any specific knowledge. In addition to that, furniture can be made to specification at the price of a mass product by means of intelligent data processing and production. The future gives us the chance to create individual freedom. Let's seize it!
