Linköping, Sweden–Dec. 12—Configura, a leading provider of innovative design solutions for the commercial interiors industry, is continuing to revolutionize the design process for its user community by creating a comprehensive materials database. With key partners like Mayer Fabrics, Momentum Textiles, and Maharam contributing to the effort, this new database will address the long-standing need for more accessible and accurate material options, and is designed to streamline workflows and enable designers to visualize and select materials with precision and ease.
“Over the years, we’ve heard directly from our user community about the challenges they face in accessing accurate, high-quality materials within a unified system,” said Stefan Persson, CEO of Configura. “By partnering with trusted manufacturers, we’re addressing these needs and delivering solutions that simplify workflows by equipping designers with preeminent choices to accurately translate their ideas into reality.”
By working with leading manufacturers, including Mayer Fabrics, Momentum Textiles, and Maharam, CET offers users a rich array of high-quality, standardized materials, making the design process faster and more efficient. These new additions provide users with the right tools and resources to bring their visions to life, ensuring that material choices align with client expectations and brand identities.
“Reflecting the collective innovation of its partners, Mayer Fabrics highlights how this collaboration revolutionizes how dealer designers execute projects. Two years ago, we became the first and only textile company to join the Commercial Interiors Library. Building on that milestone, we’ve expanded our partnership with Configura to empower designers with faster workflows, exceptional accuracy, and high-quality imagery,” said Rob Mayer, President of Mayer Fabrics. “This innovation streamlines the specification process, enhances communication with clients, and transforms how projects come to life—a true game-changer for the industry.”
With the continuous integration of fabric manufacturers onto its platform, Configura continues to answer the design industry’s call for a more consolidated and efficient approach to material selection. Allowing material manufacturers to manage and update their product data reduces the burden on furniture manufacturers while providing a broader, up-to-date selection for designers. With an interactive and visually immersive design environment, CET allows users to view materials in 3D and configure products with precision to truly capture the look and feel they envision.
CET continues to evolve as a platform that empowers designers to work more confidently to achieve exceptional results. Configura actively listens to feedback from its user community and incorporates their insights to create tools that truly meet their needs.
The materials database is set to go live in 2025, marking a significant milestone in Configura’s commitment to enhancing the design process for its user community. As the launch approaches, the database will continue growing, with additional manufacturers and material options being added. When the platform becomes fully available, designers will be able to access an even broader selection of textiles, laminates, and finishes. Configura remains dedicated to driving innovation and providing tools that enable the design community to work more efficiently and creatively.
