Quatro Design is Australia’s leading manufacturer of glass fiber reinforced concrete (GRC) products specifically designed for the architectural, interior and landscape industries. The company’s portfolio includes a wide range of premium products – from modular street furniture to planter boxes, pots, bowls and custom-built concrete seating structures.
Quatro Design offers architecture and landscaping services for public spaces, commercial and private projects. They are known for their commitment to quality and attention to detail, demonstrated by eye-catching projects at Star Casino, Swinburne University, Macquarie Private Hospital and many parks.
With the release of Quatro’s TRAQ modular seating range, a key consideration was the ability for clients to understand the impressive product options and capability, with many different bench sizes, shapes, backrests and accessories. TRAQ layouts are highly customisable and there are thousands of possible combinations, depending on a client’s location and specific requirements.
Quatro Design’s main challenge was how to best promote the capability of the TRAQ modular system. Brochures and online imagery could provide a general overview of the options, but the company also wanted to enhance its sales process and let clients explore TRAQ’s full capability.
Quatro Design partnered with INHAABIT to develop the TRAQ Modular Configurator, a powerful 3D outdoor bench configurator that allows clients to create a complex modular outdoor seating layout.
TRAQ Configurator – Where Modularity Meets Design
TRAQ is a cutting-edge modular seating system, featuring an unlimited range of seating configurations, perfectly designed to meet the requirements of public spaces.
Leveraging INHAABIT’s Modular Configurator platform and 3D product visualisation, clients can access the TRAQ Configurator via Quatro Design’s website and select a preset layout to begin. The 3D Configurator is easy to use, with no technical knowledge required. It allows clients to drag & drop seats, backrests and freestanding units to create unique layouts that align with their space.
Once a design has been created, clients can configure materials for the outdoor furniture, choose finishes for the benches and explore them in high-quality 3D. Options such as timber panels, upholstery and planters can be incorporated into the design for additional customisation.
INHAABIT’s Outdoor Bench Configurator is seamlessly integrated into the Quatro Design website and provides an immersive outdoor planning experience. Clients can save their designs and share them via an email link. They can also see a summary of the final parts, download high-resolution image renders and make an enquiry via the interface.
Another innovative feature is the ability to specify a footprint. This allows clients to set a background with specific measurements and ensure their designs fit into a space. It can be further customised with a resizable background image so that 3D TRAQ layouts can be overlaid on top of blueprints.
Enhancing Public Spaces With a Modular Outdoor Furniture Configurator
Planning for urban design and modular bench layouts is becoming increasingly important, as councils seek to modernise public spaces and create more effective outdoor environments. The ability for landscape architects and designers to visualise modular layouts can significantly speed up projects, saving costs and time. It allows manufacturers such as Quatro Design, to better showcase their modular bench range and provides a high quality planning tool for both staff and clients.
INHAABIT’s industry-leading Modular Configurator platform is a perfect fit for Quatro Design, combining ultra-realistic visualisation with easy to use, modular part configuration, to make their TRAQ stand out from the competition. The partnership also demonstrates how visualising 3D products has become one of the most effective sales tools in street furniture and urban design.
