Abstract Existing design platforms with multi-dimensional value chains currently have deficits in terms of their business models, resulting in insufficient attention to sustainability goals and individual requirements for products of these plat-forms. Co-creation approaches, such as the Do-It-Together (DIT) approach for furniture, involve customers and manufacturers as equal partners in the design and production process. This allows customers to have more influence on the sustainability and individualization of products. The existing litera-ture addresses sustainability-oriented design principles for platform business models, but concrete platform business models for multidimensional DIT co -creation of furniture are still missing. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to develop a business model for a DIT co-creation platform for the fur-niture industry based on a four-step business model innovation framework. This method will then be applied to a specific project scenario to derive a project-specific DIT co-creation business model. This generates knowledge about the collaborative manufacture of sustainable and customized furniture and contributes to the cross-sectoral transfer of platform business models for the of sustainable
