Zest was the newest addition to Markor Home Furnishing. Markor is one of the largest mid to high-end furniture companies in China, with approximately 400 stores across 150 cities. Zest was Markor’s first fully customizable mass-produced real-wood furniture line of products. With their new state-of-the-art factory, which can organize, track, and deliver millions of configurations, we set out to build an online experience centered on customization.

## Fully Customizable & Delivered in Weeks

At the heart of the Zest experience is customization. In a cabinet, customers could customize the color, legs, knobs, top surface, and even the individual inserts. This level of flexibility extended to the entire catalog, allowing for millions of possible combinations.

The system we created was robust enough to handle the complexity of this feature.

In addition to the customization engine, we created an entire e-commerce experience, with over 50 unique pages. The catalog for the initial launch included over 150 items.
