Visual networks such as Pinterest are a very helpful tool among those searching for style inspiration, recipes or even DIY projects. However, the network often falls flat when aiming to fit the needs of a serious office design conversation.
Kontor is a design-focused initiative that grants users the in-depth information they are looking for when searching for design inspiration. While typing in "modern office" into Tumblr or even Google search pulls up a slew of spaces, Kontor will present product names, manufacturers and even the architecture firm for users.
Unlike other visual networks, users can search based on keywords, save images, follow other users of the site and click on web links to the manufacturer's site. Kontor serves its users with exactly what they are looking for in addition to inspiring images.
