Bring The Premium Design Of top3 Into Your Living Room

Ever wanted to see how a piece of furniture will fit in your own home? The top3 AR app is for you.


Looking at furniture in a showroom or online before taking it home is a part of being a design lover. But wouldn’t it be good to know exactly how a piece would look in your own home before you pick it up? This is what inspired the creation of top3 AR.

top3 AR is an app for iPhone and iPad that allows you to place a selected piece of top3 furniture in your living room, home office or garden with incredible detail, scale and accuracy.

Unlike anything else in the design augmented reality space, top3 have designed this app with an unparalleled focus on realism and attention to detail, with totally accurate representations of material and colour. Looking through your screen, the furniture will be present exactly how it will look in your home. You can walk right up to products, see how they’ll appear in your home, look at the detailed fabric choices, spin them around, reposition them and change colours to suit your environment.

At top3, the team works with interior designers and architects on a daily bases, so you can ensure the quality of the end products is perfect. Not a toy or a gimmick, the top3 AR app is tool for serious design lovers, as well as designers and architects, and anyone unsure about a game changer.

“Technology should enhance our lives, make them more interesting, provide more options and less waste,” says Terri Winter, founder and leader of top3. “As an example, imagine making a sofa in a certain finish and colour, only to find that it’s not what the customer had in mind for their holiday home. Freight alone could be hundreds or even thousands of dollars, creating unnecessary emissions and congestion.

“With top3 AR, customers can very realistically see what they are ordering, explore multiple colour options in their own home and add them to a shopping cart to make a purchase.”

The top3 AR app is available now from the Apple store, and compatible with iPhone 6S and up.
