Tylko is a Warsaw-based technology-driven furniture company founded in 2015, specializing in premium, customized storage solutions like shelving units and wardrobes.[2][3][4] It serves homeowners and offices across Europe and beyond through an intuitive online platform, solving the problem of ill-fitting, mass-produced furniture by enabling users to design perfect-fit pieces via an AR app and 3D configurator, with direct manufacturing and delivery cutting out middlemen.[1][2][3] The company has demonstrated strong growth momentum, serving nearly 60,000 customers, selling over 70,000 units worldwide, and achieving 132% sales growth in 2020 to €36 million while expanding to 28 countries; it has raised $41.37M in funding, including a recent $8.09M debt round, and employs around 186 people with €29.4M in revenue.[1][2][4][5]
Tylko emerged from the 2014-founded Bridge Design and Technology Bureau, which specialized in augmented reality, parametric modeling, 3D printing, and CNC automation for clients like BMW and the European Space Agency.[1] In 2015, co-founders Hanna Kokczyńska (experienced in team management, graphics, and design), Jacek Majewski, Mikołaj Molenda (expert in 3D rendering, architecture, and videography), and Benjamin Kuna launched Tylko in Warsaw, driven by a vision to revolutionize furniture with tech-enabled personalization and set new industry standards.[3][5] Early traction came from their AR app for visualizing custom furniture, leading to rapid prototyping, Polish manufacturing partnerships, and investor interest; the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated growth as demand for home offices surged.[1][3]
Tylko rides the wave of direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce and AR/VR personalization in furniture, digitizing a traditionally analog industry amid rising demand for sustainable, custom home solutions post-pandemic.[1][6] Perfect timing aligns with remote work trends turning homes into multifunctional spaces, boosting sales as consumers prioritize quality over quantity.[1][2] Market forces like supply chain digitization and EU green initiatives favor its local, efficient production and climate-neutral goals (aiming for 5 million homes).[3][6] It influences the ecosystem by modernizing Poland's furniture sector through job creation, tech innovation, and setting benchmarks for software-enabled manufacturing, as supported by EIB funding.[6]
Tylko is poised for international scaling and product diversification, leveraging recent debt funding and EIB support to innovate in AR, supply chain digitization, and modular designs while pursuing climate neutrality.[4][6] Trends like AI-enhanced customization, sustainable materials, and global DTC growth will propel it, potentially capturing more of the €200B+ furniture market amid e-commerce acceleration. Its influence may evolve from European leader to global pioneer, empowering consumers with tech that harmonizes living spaces—reinforcing its mission to revolutionize furniture without compromise.[1][2][3]
Tylko has raised $39.2M across 4 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $26.0M Series C in March 2021.
