S-iR was founded around 5 years ago with the mission of emotionally connecting brands and their customers, crafting luxury "digital first" experiences from creation to sales. S-iR offers an innovative and pioneering approach to digitalization, designed for the fashion and high-added value industries. Over the years, the company has developed exclusive projects for [various] luxury and lifestyle brands, such as Christian Louboutin, Foot Locker, Eurojersey, Marzotto Group, ADI Design Museum and Triennale Milano applying an innovative and highly qualitative digital design model that surged with the digital acceleration demanded by brands during the pandemic. 
 

Expo '24
S-iR has developed innovative features, experiences and products, blending the captivating digital encounters with the physical. Transforming the F&L industry, with lower costs, shorter times, and greater sustainability. Immaterial, yet beyond the real.

S-iR has taken features such as Digital Twins and AR to the next level and developed innovative immaterial Experiences, Products and Platforms: interactive Shopping Windows, customizable PreVue of collections, high-impact Branded Spaces and digital Trunk Shows are now available. i-Fabric (pass: expo24), an original S-iR tool, perfectly replicates the qualities and properties of the finest materials, respecting their unique characteristics – weaving, pattern, texture, color, finishing, nuances, etc – even simulating flutter and handling. 

All S-iR products are to be seen and tried in one evocative space – Expo ’24. S-iR invites you to become part of a community in this engaging platform, to share the passion for customer obsession, creative purpose, and meaningful relationships.

These features translate the early stages of the creative and production processes into a digital realm, always keeping a deep commitment to quality and excellence, therefore significantly reducing environmental impact by effectively turning around the traditional approach of design-produce-sell to design-(digitally)sell-produce.
