About project

Haute Living gives consumers, architects and interior designers access to thousands of modern furniture, lighting, rug and decorative-object products, supported by professional procurement services and showrooms in Chicago and New York. We helped create a scalable discovery, specification and procurement experience for both retail and trade customers.

Duration

6 months

Technologies

A scalable digital commerce and procurement platform built for rich product discovery, professional specification workflows and high-performance media delivery.

Business challenge

Haute Living needed to unify a large and complex catalogue of design products, professional specification resources, live commercial data and showroom services in one fast digital experience for both retail and trade audiences.

Our solution

  • Built Elasticsearch-powered faceted search with predictive queries, synonyms, filters, sorting and rapid catalogue retrieval.
  • Created configurable product pages with finishes, upholstery, dimensions, specifications, lead times, related products and downloadable resources.
  • Implemented professional account approval, trade pricing, project boards and quotation and procurement workflows.
  • Developed a digital asset library for tear sheets, CAD drawings, Revit files, 2D plans and 3D models using Autodesk Platform Services.
  • Integrated Contentful, PostgreSQL, HubSpot, AWS S3 and CloudFront for content, catalogue synchronization, enquiries and media delivery.
  • Optimized dynamic pages, structured data, sample-sale inventory, search performance and automated end-to-end testing.
