Scene 01The problem

Every furniture system has its own story, finishes and accessories: one template isn't enough.

The site also has to bring people into stores and follow the brand's calendar of fairs and events, in seven languages.

Scene 02The technical choice

  1. Shot 01

    Three months on site

    The team built the site between February and April 2024, with 27 product-system templates; we've kept evolving it since.

  2. Shot 02

    Store locator

    I wrote it: store search with geolocation and a page for every store with gallery and contact form.

  3. Shot 03

    Navigation and inspiration

    Header and menu, the inspiration map, the virtual tour and the landing pages for the Salone del Mobile and campaigns.

  4. Shot 04

    Technical SEO

    Sitemaps per language, canonicals, redirects and noindex where needed, titles and H1s for rooms and inspiration pages.

  5. Shot 05

    Evolution

    Performance work, a multi-step contact form and the first Gutenberg blocks to give editors more freedom.
