The Challenge

Where they were stuck

The smart home category is unusual. The hardware is genuinely premium — precision-engineered objects with glass touch panels and brushed metal finishes. But the online buying experience across the entire category looked nothing like the products being sold. Most brands ran stock Shopify themes with flat product photography and generic checkout flows indistinguishable from commodity electronics stores. Lumex had the products; what they didn't have was a storefront that made buyers feel the quality before touching the hardware.

Our Solution

What we built

We built Lumex a flagship commerce experience as a headless Shopify storefront. The centerpiece is a Three.js product theatre where every hero product is modeled in 3D, rotatable, and rendered in realistic context. A custom plan configurator maps the catalog onto the natural buying unit — home size plus lifestyle — with three tiers (Core, Prime, Elite) and component-level customization. The entire backend still runs on Shopify: inventory, cart, checkout, and operations are untouched.
