Arcade, founded by Mariam Naficy, has secured $42 million in funding from investors like LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. The platform combines generative AI with physical manufacturing, allowing users to design custom jewelry and home decor by inputting text or images. Arcade's AI generates 3D design sketches, which are then crafted by artisans. The platform supports various jewelry types and materials, with prices starting at $100. Arcade plans to expand into ceramics, cushions, and potentially clothing.
