Founded in 2012 by Janus Jagd and Lasse Krugermeier, Cylindo operates as a 3D product visualization platform specifically targeting the furniture retail industry. Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, with additional offices in the US and North Macedonia, the company was established with the goal of simplifying product visualization for commerce. In April 2022, Cylindo was acquired by Chaos, a prominent name in photorealistic rendering technology, in a move to create a comprehensive, end-to-end 3D visualization ecosystem. Cylindo continues to operate as an independent brand within the Chaos structure.
Cylindo's core business revolves around transforming basic product data from furniture brands and retailers into photorealistic, interactive 3D content. This allows end-consumers to view products from any angle, customize variations, and utilize augmented reality (AR) to see items in their own space. The company serves a client base of furniture retailers and brands, providing them with versatile visual assets for a variety of channels, including e-commerce sites, in-store kiosks, social media, and marketing campaigns. The business model is B2B, generating revenue by providing these visualization services and tools, which helps clients increase conversion rates and average order values while reducing the costs associated with traditional photography.
The platform offers an all-in-one solution for creating, managing, and distributing product visuals. Key features include high-resolution 360-degree spins, 4K zoom capabilities, web-native AR experiences, and the ability to generate customizable lifestyle imagery at scale. Clients can use Cylindo's self-service tools to create and refresh content, leveraging pre-designed templates or building their own. A significant benefit for clients is the reduction in returns and the elimination of expensive photoshoots. The platform also includes analytics tools to provide insights into customer behavior and the performance of different products and visual content.
