Arcade, a generative AI marketplace for the design of jewelry, extends its offers with household goods, starting with carpets.
The company also introduced a new function called “Match My Room” on Monday, with which users can upload a photo of their room so that its design complements the existing colors and the existing style.
In addition to this expansion, Arcade announced his financing round in Serie A of 25 million US dollars, which increased the total amount to $ 42 million.
Similar to Arcade's Jewelry Design Generator, the RUG Creation Tool Midjourney and stable diffusion uses. Users select the carpet material and then enter a text request to describe the desired design. As soon as the design is generated, it is then combined with a manufacturer who sends the creator a free sample for approval before buying.
Based on our tests, the carpets start at around $ 400 for a 3 × 9 wool option that is the cheapest material. The prices increase for higher materials such as cashmere, alpaca and Mohair. However, Arcade claims to offer more affordable options as a luxury carpet retailer who demand thousands of dollars.
With the “Match My Room” function, users can upload a photo of their room. While the AI analyzes the color adjustment, you cannot successfully replicate patterns from other decorative elements in the image such as pillows and ceilings. Overall, however, it is a useful tool to ensure that the color accents of the carpet are related to other furniture.
For users who want to create designs for pure joy, Arcade offers “Dream Boards” who work like Pinterest boards and present products with similar topics as inspired by Hollywood. Users can also search other dreamboards and make purchases.
In addition, Arcade has a sales program with which humans can earn a 5% commission for any sale of their product, an increase compared to the previous 2.5%. Users can earn more by joining the Arcade partner program.
The company recently launched a new entrepreneur program that aims to help the creators of content unlock higher commission rates. Large media and influencers with over 25,000 followers are asked to register for the Arcade marketing team by an e -mail.
Despite the start of his beta jewelry offer, which only offers in September 2024, Arcade claims to generate 650,000 jewelry design. However, the company did not know how many users are interested in buying these designs, and there have also been announced the commission gains of sellers.
Arcade is headed by Mariam Naficy, who previously founded the cosmetics dealer Eve and the design Marketplace.
The series A round was led by Laura Chau (Canaan Partners) with the participation of Kirsten Green (Forerunner).
The new capital is provided for the attitude, platform development and the introduction of new product categories such as ceramics and pillows. Naficy previously mentioned Techcrunch that additional categories can include clothing and leather goods. According to his website, chain belts will also come next.
Arcade previously collected $ 17 million from Ashton Kutcher (Sound Ventures), Offline Ventures and Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn co-founder). Other investors are inspired capital, Torch Capital and David Luan, CEO of adept AI Labs and former Vice President of Engineering at Openaai.
