About Design Technologies

Building the next-generation digital commerce infrastructure for the interiors industry

Our Story

Design Technologies was born from the evolution of Clippings, which started as a marketplace for interior design products on Clippings.com.

As Clippings grew, it expanded beyond product discovery to manage logistics end-to-end and built industry-specific features tailored to the needs of professionals working on interior projects-such as designers, real estate operators, and property developers.

Over time, the company shifted its focus toward enabling B2B relationships in the interiors industry.

"We realized that the way those audiences look for products, make decisions, and purchase is very different from a standard e-commerce journey."

Our Evolution

That insight led to the development of technology that supports the entire workflow: creating projects, collaborating with colleagues and clients, and digitizing complex B2B processes like quoting, discounting, and invoicing. Clippings became more than a marketplace-it became a workflow and transaction platform.

As demand grew, leading manufacturers like Steelcase and Herman Miller began asking to use this technology to digitize their own sales. This marked the beginning of Clippings' transition into offering its software as a white-label solution. Following its acquisition by Material Bank, the company doubled down on its tech focus.
