How it works

What Is a 3D Furniture Configurator?

A 3D furniture configurator is a web-based tool embedded on a product page that lets buyers customize furniture and see their choices in a real-time 3D preview. Your team sets up the options once in the Zolak CMS, and shoppers change materials, colors, and finishes for each part of the product, such as upholstery, frame, legs, or tabletop.

Though designed with the specific needs of furniture retailers in mind, this software is built on a versatile 3D configurator engine that works for any product category.

Mark the Configurable Parts

In the Zolak CMS, choose which parts of the sofa, chair or table shoppers can change: upholstery, frame, legs, tabletop. Fixed parts such as fittings and hardware stay out of the menu.

02
Your team

Add Fabrics, Finishes and Prices

Assign the fabrics, wood species, metal finishes and colors available for each part. Each variation gets its own SKU and price, so the configurator matches what your factory can make.

03
Shopper

Configure on the Product Page

Shoppers open the configurator on the product page, embedded or one click away, and pick a fabric, a wood finish or a leg style. The 3D model of the piece updates with every choice.

Review and Decide

They rotate and zoom to check stitching, grain and texture, see the price of the final configuration, and place the piece in their own room with AR to check size and fit.

What Furniture Brands Say About Working With Zolak

Old Boot Sofas Chesterfield sofa in green velvet, CGI render by Zolak3D Rendering

“Every size and finish, which would never have been practical to photograph”

We turned to Zolak to produce CGI imagery of our products in every size and finish, which would never have been practical to photograph.

What stands out is their preparation. Before a project begins, every detail is confirmed: specifications, materials, deliverables and the rounds of revision. As the client, I always know exactly what I’m getting. That same meticulous attention carries into the work itself. Even a minor design detail is picked up and corrected quickly, and when a request isn’t clear, they ask for references rather than guessing.

The Zolak team keeps everything moving with clear communication and prompt replies. We’re looking forward to seeing our full range brought to life.

Absolutely. Businesses, especially in the furniture and interior design industries, can leverage 3D furniture configurators to enhance customer engagement, reduce return rates, increase sales, provide brand differentiation, and achieve cost savings.
How does the online furniture configurator simplify the buying process for customers?
  • Easy to use: Customers start configuring in a few clicks, whatever their technical skills.
  • Visualize options: Shoppers see how different finishes, materials, and colors look together before deciding.
  • Instant price calculation: The price updates as customers switch between variations.

What are the advantages of using a Zolak furniture configurator?
Zolak combines real-time 3D customization, photorealistic materials, and built-in AR in one tool that embeds into your existing website. The same 3D models also power virtual showrooms and product renders, so you build your content once and reuse it.
What furniture options can customers customize?
The available options depend on the product. Customers can typically change materials, colors, finishes, upholstery, and the look of individual parts such as legs, handles, cushions, or tabletops. Every selection updates instantly in interactive 3D, so shoppers can compare variations before buying.
Can the configured furniture be viewed in AR?
Yes. Once customers finish configuring a product, they can launch the exact version in augmented reality (AR) to see how it looks and fits in their own space. This helps shoppers evaluate proportions, colors, and overall style in a real environment before ordering.
Can the configurator integrate with an existing ecommerce website?
Yes. Zolak's 3D furniture configurator can be integrated into existing ecommerce platforms, product pages, and custom websites. The configurator works alongside your current online store, allowing customers to personalize products without disrupting the shopping experience.
What product data and 3D models are needed to launch a furniture configurator?
To launch a furniture configurator, brands typically need product dimensions, configuration rules, available customization options (such as materials, colors, and finishes), pricing logic if applicable, and optimized 3D models for each product. Our team helps organize and prepare these assets to ensure a smooth implementation.
What if a furniture brand does not have ready-made 3D models?
No problem. If your products do not yet have 3D assets, Zolak can create them for you through our 3D furniture modeling services. We produce optimized, high-quality 3D models that are ready for interactive product configurators, AR visualization, and virtual showrooms. Learn more about our 3D furniture modeling services.
