C-14 Space Ltd | Applied AI company in London

ShopMyRoom brings it into people's homes. ABR brings it inside businesses.

One company, two businesses: ShopMyRoom for the home and ABR for business.

Who we are

A London technology company founded by Elia Orfeini and Ryan Kearney. One founder builds the business, the other builds the systems.

What we build

Models, agents and spatial understanding, each chosen to fit one specific friction, delivered as working systems people use.

Why we build it

We start from problems people and businesses already live with: the friction of buying for your home online, and the manual work that still slows teams down.

Where we are

Headquartered in London as the parent company of ShopMyRoom and ABR, with offices in Milan and Paris planned by the end of 2027.

Legal name: C-14 Space Ltd
Company number: 16905182
Registered in: England and Wales
Headquarters: London, United Kingdom

One founder knows how businesses run. The other knows how to build the systems that change it.

Architecture, models and agent development, across both ventures.

Why two ventures in one company

AI has made building products much faster. A small team can now take an idea from problem to working product in a matter of months.

We chose two ventures to diversify. ShopMyRoom serves people at home and ABR serves businesses, so C-14 never relies on a single market. Both started the same way: we found a real problem in the market and set out to solve it. They share one team and one engineering base inside C-14.

Two ventures, one company

Each venture has its own brand and its own customers. C-14 holds both, and the same team builds both.

ShopMyRoom

AI that turns real rooms into shoppable spaces.

The ShopMyRoom launch film, 30 seconds. On-screen text, no sound.shopmyroom.co.uk

The problem: People furnishing a room cannot picture how a piece will look in their space, so they guess, measure by hand and jump between retailer sites.
What we are building: The room is the starting point. You photograph it, the AI reads the space and suggests pieces from UK retailers by style and budget, and you buy on the retailer’s own site.
Stage: Live on the App Store and Google Play. The new app was released in October 2026.
Role in C-14: The consumer venture, where our spatial AI meets real rooms and real products.

Applied Business Realities

Real AI for businesses still running on manual work.

The problem: Established small and medium businesses still run key processes by hand, across documents, spreadsheets and email.
What we are building: ABR maps a process, then implements, integrates and automates it, with ongoing support after go-live.
Stage: Working with its first clients. Projects delivered so far cover charter operations, auction analytics and returns processing.
Role in C-14: The business venture. The same engineering team that builds ShopMyRoom builds for clients.

We replace repetitive, hand-driven processes with intelligent systems that give hours back to the team.
