What is Architonic?
Architonic is the number-one online business to-business community that connects architects, building owners and contract clients, manufacturers, designers, retailers, trade fairs and the design press internationally.

Founded by architects and launched in 2003, www.architonic.com has become the first choice for professionals looking for the best products and materials, as well as for architectural projects and the latest design news and features, all of which have earned the Architonic seal of approval.

For invited members from within and beyond the architecture and design industries, Architonic is a platform to promote their premium products and other business offerings in a visually sophisticated, relevant and effective way.

The core of Architonic: Online Library and Virtual Showroom.
Central to www.architonic.com is its up-to-the-minute online library, 'Products & Materials' – an unparalleled database resource containing over 68,000 carefully selected products and materials from hundreds of international high-end manufacturers that gives professionals and others the ability to find the right product at exactly the right time. For industry, this means customer contact at the right time, too.

The online library's navigation and search structure have been designed specifically with professionals in mind. Presented in a clear and engaging visual language, relevant products, accompanied by detailed information and practical tools (such as price and catalogue requests, lists of retailers and CAD-file downloads), can be identified in minutes, saving valuable business time.

Since its introduction in 2004, Architonic’s unique Virtual Showroom service has provided more than 300 leading retailers in 15 countries with the opportunity to integrate the power of Architonic’s online library into their own websites in a tailored way, thus strengthening their own brands and businesses. Each Virtual Showroom is linked into our central product database, meaning it receives continual, maintenance-free automatic updates.

Architonic is the choice of professionals.
With 5.8 million visitors a year, 68% of them professionals (architects, interior architects, planners, contractors, retailers, manufacturers, journalists), Architonic has become the third most popular online resource for the architectural profession. (Source: archdaily.com survey.) Architonic’s monthly newsletter has over 40,000 subscribers.

A new development for 2010 is that approved architects and designers can now become professional members of Architonic, featuring their company profiles and projects in the 'Architecture & Design' section of our website. Cross-linking between architectural projects, products in our library, and features from Architonic’s opinion-forming ‘News & Trends’ online magazine can be seen as part of our commitment to the generation and dissemination of relevant expert information and knowledge across the Architonic community and beyond. Our media partnership with over 35 of the best print and online architecture and design journals worldwide underscores this.
