View all your open orders, pending invoices, and payments in a single dashboard—no more searching through emails and spreadsheets.

HOW IT WORKS

Transform your FF&E with LUMI

JOIN WAITLIST

Starting from £1,500 one‑off for product library build + £35 / designer / month

Your product library built for you, from your own list of preferred suppliers

Tell us your list of suppliers and we’ll do the heavy lifting: we'll pull every SKU, and our AI enriches each item with colour, style, room suitability, category and sub‑category tags. In 10–14 days you get a searchable, visual product library you can browse instantly. Saving you hundreds of hours of manually adding them one by one.

Setup & Onboarding

We’ll get you up and running: we import your new library, create your user accounts, and apply your studio branding to. Then, in a live onboarding session, we show your team how to find, filter, and spec products so you’re confident in LUMI from Day 1.

LUMI is ready to go!

LUMI is live! With a seamless launch, you’ll be able to automate procurement from day one. We provide ongoing support to refine and scale your setup as your studio grows, so LUMI keeps working the way you need it to.

Frequently asked questions

Still got questions? Let’s jump on a 15min call and figure out how we can tailor LUMI to your exact workflow.
How long before we’re fully live with our product library?

Give us your list of suppliers and we'll build out every SKU, then our AI tags each item with colour, style, room suitability, category and sub‑category, so you can filter in seconds. Typical turnaround: 10–14 working days from list to live library.

Do we keep ownership of our data?

Yes. Your products, spec sheets, prices and client comments remain 100 % yours. Export any time via CSV.

How does LUMI actually lighten our admin load?

Every spec you build in LUMI starts from clean, searchable data—no copying SKU lines between spreadsheets, hunting PDFs, or chasing prices in email chains. Your products, prices and approvals live in one place, so the back‑and‑forth busywork disappears and designers can focus on design instead of data entry. In practice, studios tell us they “get their afternoons back” once the library is live.

How many suppliers are included for £1,500?

The Starter Plan at £1,500 covers building your initial library of up to 20 suppliers. If you need a larger library, we also offer:

- Growth Plan (£3,500) for 21–50 suppliers

- Scale Plan
(£5,500) for 51–100 suppliers

Not sure which fits your studio? Book a quick 15‑minute scoping call and we’ll recommend the perfect pack for your needs.

What support do we get?

Each plan offers a comprehensive 1-hour kickoff call, live team training sessions, and prompt chat/email support available the same day.

Can we tailor  LUMI to our studio’s exact processes?

LUMI is built on a highly adaptable Glide platform, allowing customization of every screen, including fields and dashboards. Whether you need an additional 'On-site date' field, a unique margin calculation, or a branded spec sheet, it's possible. Any customisation is treated as bespoke dev work (quoted case‑by‑case), but our rates are intentionally designer‑friendly. Tell us what you need on the discovery call, and we’ll scope a cost‑effective tweak rather than force you into a one‑size‑fits‑all setup.

About

Hey, I'm Marco, founder of LUMI.

After working with dozens of interior designers over at Deus ex Gardenia (my wife's wallpaper brand), I saw the same pattern over and over, designers were spending so much time on admin, juggling spreadsheets, jumping between different tools or stuck with bulky, one-size-fits-all software, paying monthly fees for features they never used.

That's why I built LUMI. With my background in no-code software, I believe in lightweight, custom-built tools that fit your workflow—not the other way around. Here's what makes us different: we build your entire product library for you. Just give us your list of preferred suppliers, and we'll create a searchable digital catalog of 10k+ products—saving you hundreds of hours of manually adding items one by one over months.

Spreadsheets can only take you so far. All-in-one platforms lock you in and are expensive. LUMI is here to give you a smarter, simpler way to manage FF&E, letting you spend less time on admin and more time designing incredible spaces.
