Entries for ‘Product of the Year’ span kitchens, bathrooms, materials, and the newly introduced design technology category where Onfigr is shortlisted. Open to tech-based products of all kinds, this category is looking for brands and businesses, which are making a difference to innovative kitchen and bathroom design while enhancing the creative and/or customer service experience.

Making it faster and easier to quote for new projects, Onfigr was developed to bridge the gap in the marketplace for photorealistic visualisers that truly reflect the original concepts of the interior design community and premium products specified. High function features also include the specially designed pano-visualiser, which offers 85% more screen space when compared to the market average of just 15% display.
With more than 600,000 interior design customers using its range of groundbreaking products annually, Pikcells is clear the growing appetite from consumers to produce photorealistic visuals is strengthening the need for creative design tools, which are innovative and technologically advanced.
Stephen Mooney, Sales Director at Pikcells says, “We live in an increasingly visual age and so it has become a huge challenge for the interior design industry to sell a ‘lifestyle’ complete with high-quality products using low-quality visuals. By having the support of a 3D design space that resides online, means you’re in a much better position to serve each customer before they even step into your showroom.
“For instance, if you have a visualiser on the landing page of your website then customers will be able to start trying out ideas immediately in the comfort of their own home and personally pre-qualify themselves as warm leads by already starting the design process with you virtually.”
Richard Benson, Co-Founder of Onfigr adds “Visualisers make it incredibly easy for a customer to get a truly visual idea of how you can introduce a signature style to enhance their space and uplevel their lifestyle, rather than relying on flat 2D graphics.
“On behalf of the entire Pikcells team, we are thrilled Onfigr has been recognised by the Designerati Awards, and we want to take this opportunity to wish all the nominees the very best of luck — fingers crossed for winning results in November.”
