Hi Product Hunters! 👋😸
First of all, thank you @katmanalac for hunting us!
My name is Carlo and I'm the co-founder of Pabio.
With Pabio, you get your apartment fully furnished by a professional interior designer and rent high-quality furniture on a monthly subscription.
☝️ How it works:
1. The user goes through a virtual onboarding questionnaire and tells us their interior design preferences.
2. Based on their floor plan, Pabio automatically generates a photorealistic 3D model of the apartment with furniture and decor items. We do this with our proprietary rendering technology.
3. After agreeing to the proposal, the customer gets their apartment fully furnished and pays a monthly subscription fee. Once they move out, we take all the furniture back, renovate it, and the cycle repeats.
My co-founder @anandchowdhary and I are very much looking forward to your feedback. We're here all day to answer any questions you might have. Thank you!
@keegansard Pabio is currently available in Switzerland and we're planning on expanding to more countries soon. You can sign up on https://pabio.com/country-waitlist/ and we'll inform you as soon as we're available in your area!
For a 2 room apartment like I have, I can seriously get it fully furnished and have it look that good for a few hundred $ per month?? If this is really the case, looks like an amazing deal! Interior design + rental furniture, all inclusive?
@sukritikapoor15 If you get a 2-room apartment, say for four years, you'll pay around $300 per month: https://pabio.com/pricing/. It's more expensive if you have a bigger apartment or want to sign a shorter contract, but our average customers pay CHF ~350 per month (~$385).
And you're right: professional interior design based on your needs and style and high-quality furniture — all included in that price. We even fully insure your furniture, so if you spill coffee on your sofa, no worries! ☕️
We're super excited to launch on Product Hunt! I thought I'd quickly jump in and tell you more about our technology:
When you sign up, we send you a free proposal with automagically generated photorealistic 3D renders of your apartment, so you don't have to imagine what your fully-furnished apartment will look like. On the user side, we have a purely digital experience powered by a web app where they can manage their apartment including scheduled deliveries, insurance claims, payments, and more.
Visit us at https://pabio.com and tell us what you think!
Happy to answer any questions!
@anandchowdhary I think this sounds awesome. I am currently temporarily in nigeria and the price difference I am hearing of between an Unfurnished Household and a Furnished one is 1-2 million Naira ~2 - 4k USD & 12-36 million Naira annually ~30k USD
Unfortunately my experience with Pabio has not been positive. I was referred by my brother: when I submitted our plans, I was offered a design that was almost identical to his, which was weird to me as our flats are quite different. I learned that they use only Pfister as a partner: Pfister also has a free 3D design service that will save you many hours dealing with Pabio as a middleman.
Despite their attempts to be helpful, Pabio could not do much when many of the deliveries had issues ranging from broken pieces to unfinished assembly.
Most importantly, one piece of fourniture was meant to have some lights included. Pabio is not helping me at all have these lights delivered or installed and insists that the pictures are not contractual, and that I have to pay an extra 1300 CHF to receive those lights. My latest attempts to get in touch with them and solve this situation have resulted in me being ghosted by them.
