What is Modular
Modular design is a design approach that creates things out of independent parts
with standard interfaces. This allows designs to be customized, upgraded,
repaired and for parts to be reused.

Modularity in design, is a design

approach that subdivides a system
into smaller parts called modules, that
can be independently created and
then used in different systems.

Advantages of Modular Products

- Faster, easier and efficient customisation of

standard products to unique user needs.

- Saves Design Time, as assemblies/modules are

simply selected like bought out parts. Their cost
and properties are pre documented and easy
availability is ensured.

- Can set up efficient Assembly Line: Reduces

overall time taken to manufacture, assemble and
install a product, therefore maximising total sales
and revenue.
Advantages (contd…)

- Easy and quick installation of products

- Can be modified, repaired/serviced or

replaced, without affecting the other
assemblies.

- Modules/assembly of modules can be

outsourced: This frees-up manufacturing
capacity (asset light) and increases the number
of products delivered in a given time frame.

- Minimized cost

What does our customer want?

A customised interior solution for his/her space

Customer that meets following criteria:

● Personalization: Lifestyle-needs catered

wants ●
●
Predictability: Timelines and Quality
Pocket-friendly solutions: Budget
Minimized Customization ≠ Minimised Personalisation
In fact, when a furniture is made of “modules”, one can reinvent and assemble these
modules according to one’s taste and available space to achieve great results every time.

HL OVER CARPENTER

For a typical project, a local carpenters quotation will be lesser than HL quotation. Clients do compare
these quotations, and there is a fair chance that we lose the Cx to a local carpenter if the designer is not
proactive. The following are the major points we can discuss about when a Cx compares HL with a local
carpenter.
Design Experience
Timelines & Project Management
Post installation services
Quality - factory made products are more superior in quality and finish than the local carpenters on
site execution.
Modular Construction - Modular furnitures are easy to install, repair, transfer and replace.
Site Damages: Site damages ( tile scratch/breakage, wall damage) are rampant when people work in
site. HL team uses mat on the floor for installation and ensures minimal work at site.
