This Inspiration Platform Allows Users to Purchase What They See
Katherine Pendrill — October 16, 2015 — Tech
'Kabuni' is an inspiration platform that gives users the option to purchase the items they see. In recent years, inspiration platforms such as Pinterest have become extremely popular because they provide an easy way for users to organize different ideas. Kabuni builds on this concept by introducing a shoppable feature.
Kabuni is similar to Pinterest in that it uses the same moodboard model to help users discover design inspiration. However, Kabuni differs in that it gives users the option to purchase the items they see. Once a user has downloaded the app, they can browse through a variety of different inspiration boards. These curated designs helps users determine what they are looking for without the stress of consulting a design studio. Users can then purchase items from the boards directly through the app.
The shoppable design app ultimately brings the concept of the inspiration platform into the retail space.
