Legacy Gallery presents a unique challenge by offering access to rare and distinctive furniture finds through an innovative and disruptive model. The platform combines the expertise of auction specialists in 20th and 21st-century furniture with the thrill of live bidding, creating an engaging experience for buyers worldwide. With daily online auctions spanning three categories, Legacy Gallery aims to provide unique opportunities for collectors and enthusiasts alike. However, they faced the challenge of building a comprehensive system that effectively showcased their curated selection of vintage and antique pieces. They required a platform that not only highlighted these unique items but also facilitated seamless interactions between sellers and buyers, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable auction experience. This challenge called for a sophisticated solution that could meet the demands of a diverse clientele while maintaining the integrity and excitement of the auction process.
Our approach to addressing Legacy Gallery's needs involved developing a next-generation platform tailored for vintage and antique unique pieces. We initiated our project with extensive user and design research, exploring various design iterations and colour schemes to create an inviting interface. Our goal was to build a versatile platform that catered to multiple user groups, including sellers, trade buyers, and general consumers. By prioritising user experience, we ensured that all stakeholders could easily navigate the platform, access necessary features, and engage with the auction process effectively. Through collaborative brainstorming sessions and iterative design practices, we crafted a user-friendly environment that not only showcased Legacy Gallery's offerings but also enhanced the overall auction experience. This approach allowed us to align the platform's functionality with the needs of its users while maintaining an aesthetic appeal that resonates with the target audience.
The outcome of our collaboration with Legacy Gallery was the successful development of a complex platform equipped with advanced features tailored for both sellers and trade buyers. This robust system enabled users to leverage the platform for their business expansion while providing a seamless experience for buyers seeking unique vintage items. In just the first month post-launch, Legacy Gallery welcomed over 300 signed professional sellers, showcasing thousands of products on their platform. This rapid growth not only demonstrated the effectiveness of our design and development efforts but also solidified Legacy Gallery's position in the competitive marketplace for rare furniture finds. The combination of innovative technology and strategic design has empowered Legacy Gallery to connect collectors with authentic pieces while fostering a vibrant community around vintage and antique furniture appreciation.
