Manufacturing-as-a-Service for Consumers
VISION
Eliminate Global Furniture Waste
Furniture lasts on average 7-20 years! Fast furniture is a real problem that contributes to 20% of global gas emissions, 50k+ species extinctions a year, and 50% of our planets soil loss.
​
For perspective, IKEA's 44 billion worth of furniture from last year, will be in the landfill in 7 years. These are landfill billions that are non-usable and come from a model based on planned obsolescence.

AUTOMATION FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Our Solution
Manufacturing-as-a-Service for Consumers. Our parts factory in a box (ARM Box), the size of McDonalds, is designed to integrate existing AI, Robotics and Circular partners to reduce standard manufacturing costs by 96%.
Quality with speed is achieved with our unique on-demand furniture system. We use digital communication, like dominos pizza, to fulfill orders in only 3 days. And because our furniture finds a home shortly after production, we are able to eliminate warehouse space, one of the biggest costs for furniture manufacturers and retailers. On-demand systems also enable value added services, and end of life processing for a circular economy.

Custom-Made & Upgradable
​
The ARM Box delivers custom-made and upgradable parts/assemblies directly to consumers, and we are starting with furniture. Our customers could replace their furniture parts, upgrade parts, customize parts, sellback parts and spend 75% more knowing their investment is secure.
​
Although we are starting with furniture, our Manufacturing-as-a-Service (Maas) to consumer model has endless applications.
WHY ZUCCHINI, WHY NOW?
Consumers demand affordable, sustainable, quality.
Together, our systems and technology enable quality furniture to scale, profit from longevity and cater to the budget consumer. As it stands, furniture longevity, quality and customization is only available to 4% of the market - the luxury spenders. We focus on budget consumers, the 96%, to access the majority of the market and disrupt current cultural standards. Sales of sustainably marketed products are growing 135% faster than conventional products. And if you take 'greenwashing' aside, you’ll find that sustainability & quality are a pair inseparable.
