Garson

What Garson does

Garson, operating under the consumer-facing brand Arke Studio, is a private digital marketplace founded in 2023 and headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The company sells downloadable Revit furniture family libraries targeting individual architects and architectural firms practicing building information modeling (BIM) on Autodesk Revit. Its catalog comprises eight collections covering chairs (three SKUs), stools, beds, sofas, and outdoor furniture, each sold as a one-time perpetual license starting at $41 per collection and delivered as digital downloads. Tiered licensing (Individual, Studio for up to 10 users, Firm for 10+ users) addresses both solo practitioners and multi-seat firm deployments.

The underlying technology is the product's central differentiator: every family is authored with native Revit geometry rather than imported meshes, with material parameters built into each model for in-application customization. The company states that this approach ensures compatibility and visual sharpness across both 2D floor plans and photorealistic renders, and all products are compatible with Revit 2025 and above. The catalog depth per collection is modest but consistent (9-16 families per SKU), positioning the offering as curated bundles rather than à la carte pieces.

Commercially, Garson operates a pure self-serve, direct-to-customer model with no sales force, no third-party resellers, and no marketplace listings. The storefront runs on Shopify, which handles payments, order management, and customer-account OAuth authentication. Marketing is minimal and confined to organic social accounts on Pinterest, Instagram, and LinkedIn, with no identified paid acquisition, email campaigns, or content programs. Revenue is purely transactional (one-time license fees) with no subscription or recurring component, and the business is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding, investors, or parent entity.

Direct peers

• BIMobject: Operates a global BIM object marketplace used by architects and manufacturers to distribute Revit and IFC-compatible 3D content, directly overlapping Arke's native-Revit family library offering.
• NBS Source (formerly NBS National BIM Library): Provides a curated, manufacturer-backed library of BIM objects and Revit families for the UK and international architectural market, competing for the same architect buyer.
• Polantis: Hosts one of the largest BIM component libraries with Revit-native families, serving architects and specifiers with downloadable content very similar to Arke's model.
• RevitCity: Long-running community-driven repository of Revit families and content, representing the free/cheap alternative side of the same market Arke addresses with paid, curated collections.

Broad incumbents

• GrabCAD: Large community for CAD and 3D models including Revit content; broader in scope than Arke but overlaps as a destination for architects seeking downloadable 3D assets.
• CGTrader: Marketplace for 3D models used in visualization and rendering, with some architectural furniture content that overlaps Arke's realistic-render use case.
• TurboSquid: Established 3D asset marketplace with architectural models; competes indirectly for architects' visualization budgets even though its catalog is not Revit-native.
• Autodesk Seek / Autodesk Library: Autodesk's own first-party Revit content libraries bundled with the platform, representing the most direct substitute and competitive threat to paid third-party family providers.

Emerging players

• 3dsky.org: 3D model repository popular with architects and interior designers for furniture and decor, overlapping Arke's chair/sofa/bed categories though not strictly Revit-native.
• Modlar: BIM and Revit content platform with manufacturer product libraries, overlapping Arke's positioning as a paid destination for high-quality architectural Revit families.
