myCode changed its face

Until now, the myCode.cz design catalog has primarily been an informational online tool; now we present a new concept and graphic appearance of the internet project dedicated to design.

Now myCode, which is visited monthly by several thousand enthusiasts of quality design, has three main sections. The first is the news and publicist part called myCode news, where regular updates from the world of design will be published. "We will focus primarily on thematic articles and news, but also on profiles of designers and manufacturers who are currently setting the direction in the world of design," says Radek Krčil from the company 3D H. Interiér, which operates the catalog.

The next section is myCode search, which allows searching according to three main criteria: by type of product (for example, chairs, tables, garden furniture...), by manufacturer or by designer's name who designed the product. Simple and intuitive navigation in clear graphics provides a tool to quickly obtain detailed information about design products from renowned foreign companies, as well as from Czech studios such as Mimolimit and Olgoj Chorchoj. For many products, technical sheets, dwg files, and additional external links are also available, which allow, for example, an architect to prepare a presentation for a client in just a few minutes. Each entry can also be printed and sent in the form of a catalog sheet.

MyCode.cz also offers functions for Price Inquiry and Catalog Request. For designer furniture, where there are a variety of surface finishes or upholstery options, it is never possible to set one price: it always depends on the chosen design as well as the number of pieces. A different price is for one chair and another for a hotel contract for, say, one hundred beds. The individual price inquiry allows architects direct communication with the catalog's pricing support, which promptly addresses every request for a quote or catalog, or additional information.

The third section of the new myCode is called myCode partners, which presents partners involved in this internet project. First of all, it is the Prague company Etna, which sells Italian lighting from the brand iGuzzini on the domestic market, but we should also mention other partners: the portal Design in Europe and foreign partners: Design Addict, Designspotter, and the Slovak magazine Atrium. The new graphic appearance of myCode was designed by Jan Zachariáš from the Atelieuru Půda, and the system was programmed by the studio Coex, which is also behind the previous version of myCode.cz.
