3D Chair Configurator

A 3D chair configurator that shows the exact chair being ordered

Let customers combine frame, upholstery, legs and finishes in real time, see the result photorealistically, and add it to the cart.

3D chair configurator showing a customisable chair

What customers can customise

Upholstery and fabric

Fabrics and leathers applied as PBR materials, so weave, sheen and colour read as they will in the room.

Frame and legs

Leg style, base type and frame finish swapped on the model as the customer chooses.

Wood and metal finishes

Stains, paints and metal finishes rendered on the actual geometry rather than shown as swatches.

Arms and accessories

Armrests, castors, headrests and other extras added and priced individually.

Dimensions where they matter

Seat height or width exposed as inputs for ranges that are made to size.

Price per configuration

A premium fabric or a different base moves the total immediately, so there are no surprises at checkout.

Editing chair configurator options in Simplio3D

One model instead of a hundred photographs

A chair offered in twelve fabrics, three leg finishes and two arm options is seventy-two products. Photographing all of them is not realistic, so most stores show three and describe the rest. With a configurator, one properly built 3D model covers every combination and always shows the customer the version they are about to buy.

See the chair in the actual room

Scale and colour are the two things people get wrong when buying chairs online, and they are the two most common reasons for a return. Augmented reality places the configured product at true scale on the floor through the camera, using AR Quick Look on iOS and Scene Viewer on Android — no app to install. On desktop, a QR code hands the current configuration to the phone as a GLB snapshot and a configured USDZ, so the customer sees exactly what they built.

Creating configurator options in Simplio3D

Start with AI, then check the logic

Setting up a chair configurator means building every option, every rule that links them, and every price that depends on them. Simplio3D can generate a working configurator from a product description, which gives you a structure to refine rather than a blank project. Its AI assistant can then audit what you have built — reviewing option coverage and conditional logic instead of leaving you to click through every combination. If you run a large catalogue, the MCP server lets an assistant connect with a scoped token to evaluate logic and calculate prices directly, proposing changes before anything is applied.

How to build a 3D chair configurator

One model, a material library and a set of options.

  1. Upload your chair model

    Import the chair as GLB, GLTF, FBX, OBJ or STL with the shell, upholstery, frame and legs as separate parts.

  2. Create materials

    Build your upholstery range as PBR materials from fabric scans, and the frame finishes from your timber and metal samples. Bulk-add by category so a full fabric book becomes a swatch set.

  3. Add the options customers choose from

    Restrict fabrics by frame and base type where your upholsterer requires it, so a combination that cannot be made is never added to a cart.

  4. Set rules and pricing

    Price by fabric grade — the way seating is actually sold — then add arms, castors and headrests as priced options on top of the base model.

  5. Publish to your store

    Publish and embed it on the product page, then push the configured chair into the WooCommerce or Shopify cart at the calculated price.

Versatile, easy to use and easy to deploy 3D Configurator. Super simple to use and create configurations on.

John Bergmann
John BergmannCEO · Waterloo Healthcare

I have used other similar platforms and find Simplio3D the most intuitive way to build a configurator. I'm not a CAD engineer so I wanted a solution without features I couldn't understand.

It was so simple to get started, and the results have been very impressive. We now have it live on four different platforms.

Frequently asked questions

As many as you have materials for. Materials can be bulk-added by category, so a full fabric book becomes a swatch set without creating each option by hand.

The rest of the range

Sofas, tables and cabinets use the same materials, options and pricing model — build one and the next is faster.
