The gap no one talks about
Design tools have evolved dramatically. Rendering, modelling, visualization, all transformed. But the moment a designer needs to actually specify materials for a project, the workflow collapses into showroom visits, swatch books, WhatsApp threads, and spreadsheets.
Discovery happens on Pinterest. Sampling happens over email. Specifications happen in Excel. Client approvals happen on WhatsApp. Nothing talks to anything.
That's not a workflow. That's a workaround.
What we're building
Texara is a single workspace where designers go from discovery to specification without switching tools or losing context. Search across thousands of materials. Curate selections by project and room. Request samples. Export specs. One flow, end to end.
We're starting with fabrics. Over 50,000 textiles, 950+ collections, searchable by image, by description, by technical specification. But materials don't stop at fabric, and neither do we.
Why now
The interior design industry is massive, global, and underserved by technology. Not because designers don't want better tools, but because nobody has built for how they actually work. Across categories. Across projects. Across the full lifecycle from inspiration to installation.
We're not building a marketplace. We're not building a catalogue. We're building the operating system for how materials get specified, starting with the professionals who do it every day.
Texara is in invite-only alpha. If you're a design professional, request access. If you're watching this space, keep watching.
