New site lets shoppers vote on design of future products
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Newly launched Fashion4Home (fashion4home.com) is setting out to democratize interior design.
After several fashion designers including Dolce & Gabbana have repeatedly called on their social media followers for feedback and design input, Fashion4Home is opening its gates to the public on a grander scale.
The new platform - specializing in innovative but universally appealing furniture - is based on interactive features, letting the community vote on each product design: visitors to the site can share their favorite (or least favorite) items via Facebook or Twitter, telling others exactly what they love or hate about them, providing instant feedback to the designers and directly impacting on production.
Later on, shoppers receive a 10 percent discount on the furniture they voted on.
The concept, which has been integrated in similar ways into clothing e-commerce, is the logical development of the opinion of bloggers impacting on stock ranges.
