The Challenge

A complete platform migration for the luxury furniture retailer. We built a headless commerce solution using Next.js and Shopify to deliver lightning-fast page loads.

Legacy infrastructure was slowing down site performance, affecting SEO and user experience. The brand needed a site that felt as premium as their furniture.
