Before Vizbl

Designers often relied on professional photography and carefully curated lifestyle shots to convey the character of their work. But no matter how well staged, images could never replicate the material richness or physical presence of a handcrafted object. Even the most stunning furniture risked being misunderstood simply because it couldn’t be experienced.

How They Used AR

With VIZBL, Estudio PM transformed their catalog into a living archive of pieces that can be placed directly into a customer’s home through any phone or tablet. Each object can be rotated, walked around, and examined up close, allowing buyers to explore textures, shadows, and structural details as if they were viewing it in person. Instead of imagining impact, customers can witness it.

After VIZBL

Clients experience the design the way it was intended - in context. They see the piece at real scale, recognize the proportions, and finally understand the character of its form and materials. Instead of guessing from a photo, they evaluate presence, balance, and detail in seconds, which leads to faster and more confident decisions.

“Vizbl has definitely been a game changer in helping us create a living archive of our collection. Working with reclaimed materials naturally leads to unprecedented aggregations, colorways, and material expressions, and Vizbl truly captures the essence of each object, translating it into augmented reality space with impressive accuracy, care, and a true white-glove process.”
