Crossed flat steel bars beneath a tufted, buttoned leather cushion: that is the illustrative X-frame lounge chair in this demo. Choose a leather colour, add the stool or leave it, and request a quote for the build.
Chairs of this type are bought as often by specifiers as by homeowners. An interior designer fitting out a reception is usually choosing a pair, sometimes four, and every chair has to match the schedule exactly. The questions are practical: which leather, which colour against the stone and steel of the space, and whether a stool belongs in a public area at all. A homeowner asks the same questions about one chair, with more time.

What you can configure
Each of the four leathers in the demo, black, white, tan and dark brown, sits on an identical polished frame, so the hide is the only variable. Grey and Bordeaux would join them in a full build. Adding the stool updates the summary rather than the image. With a tufted cushion, colour affects how the button grid reads: pale leather shows every crease and button shadow, while dark leather reads as one plane.

Why a configurator suits lounge chairs
Contract buyers rarely order from a product page. They ask for a quote, a specification sheet and a lead time, and they expect the supplier to get the details right across every chair. A configurator that ends in a quote request suits that process well, because it collects leather colour, quantity and set choice in one structured enquiry.
For the supplier, that structure is the value. Twelve combinations of cover and set are easy to manage on paper. Across many projects, though, the risk of a dark brown chair arriving where tan was specified is real. When the configured build carries its own reference, the quote, the order and the delivery note all describe the same chair.
Dealers benefit as well. A manufacturer selling through dealer showrooms can give each dealer the same configurator. A specification built in Leeds then reaches the factory in the same format as one built in Bristol. The manufacturer also gets a view of which leathers specifiers are choosing before committing to hide stock.
How a production version would be built
An X-frame chair is a good fit for image-based configuration because the frame never changes. The leather cushion is the variable, so each colour is rendered or shot once with the frame, and the stool sits on a separate layer. For contract use I would add a quantity field and a project name to the quote form, and export the configured chair as a PDF specification. Where dealers are involved, enquiries can route by region through the CRM. The Praxis Digital 3D case study shows how I approached configuration for many businesses on one platform.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Set choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if sets can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about lounge chair configurators
Can the quote request include quantity and project details?
Yes. The quote form can carry any fields your sales team needs, such as quantity, project name, delivery window and the specifier's practice. Those fields arrive in your CRM with the configured chair attached, so the team prices from a complete brief rather than a chain of emails.
Can specifiers download a specification sheet for the configured chair?
Yes. A production build can generate a PDF with the image, leather colour, set choice and product codes. Designers often paste these straight into their furniture schedules, so the layout should match what your trade customers already use. It also gives you a record of exactly what was specified at quote stage.
Will the tufting and buttons look right in every leather colour?
They will if the lighting is consistent. Tufted leather is made of small curves, and each catches light differently, so a flat colour change looks false. I shoot or render each leather on the same set. A close view of one button in the grid then lets buyers judge the depth of the tufting.
Can different dealers get their own version of the configurator?
Yes. One configurator can run on several dealer websites with their own branding, while the product data stays in one place. Each enquiry is tagged with the dealer it came from and routed to them, and the manufacturer still sees combined demand across the whole network.
