While disruption and innovation within traditional industries has drastically altered the underlying business environment, one industry has largely been left behind: furniture. The U.S. home furniture store industry is “extremely concentrated, with 50 of the largest U.S. stores accounting for 75 percent of the industry revenue.” Until recently, incumbent furniture retailers have managed to avoid disruption because of the complexity involved in the supply chain, scale advantages and unit economics of delivery that make it expensive for startups to compete. As a result, furniture shopping remains a cumbersome, impersonal and a “one size fits all” experience with consumers being exposed to delivery delays, retail markups and middlemen. However, Tylko aims to radically modernize key parts of the designer furniture industry from manufacturing, designing, customisability to the eventual delivery and effectively replace mass-produced furniture with “mass customized” furniture.
