MYCS GmbH operates as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce company specializing in customizable furniture. The firm targets individuals seeking personalized home furnishings and also serves professional clients for office outfitting. Its business model centers on an online 3D configurator that allows customers to design their own modular furniture, including shelves, tables, and sofas, by specifying dimensions, colors, and materials. Revenue is generated through the online sale of these bespoke furniture pieces.
Founded in Berlin in 2014 by Christoph Jung, Kachun To, Kai Sap, and Claudio Bredfeldt, MYCS aimed to bridge the gap between standardized furniture and high-end, custom-made pieces. The company launched its website in mid-2015 and subsequently expanded its operations from Germany to France, Switzerland, and Austria, supported by showrooms in several major European cities. The furniture is produced in the company's own facilities in Poland, utilizing FSC-certified woods and varnishes from Germany and Switzerland. Over the years, MYCS secured funding from various investors, including Beringea and Global Founders Capital. In early 2024, the company went through insolvency proceedings and was subsequently acquired by the financial investor Custodia Capital. Following this restructuring, founder Christoph Jung departed the company, and Piotr Siudak was appointed as the new CEO to steer the company towards renewed growth.
The company's core offering is its range of modular and customizable furniture. Customers can utilize a photorealistic 3D online configurator to create pieces that fit their specific aesthetic and spatial requirements. The product line is characterized by a minimalist design with clean lines, often featuring handle-less surfaces with push-to-open mechanisms. A key selling point is the combination of this high degree of personalization with European manufacturing standards, which ensures product quality and sustainability.
