The CIFF has been dubbed as the looking glass of China’s furniture industry. Exhibitors bring with them their finest designs and trendiest models to the Fair, giving visitors the best insight into the current development of the industry.
It can be seen through the exhibits at this year's Fair that an increasing number of enterprises are paying more attention to innovative designs of their products as it relates to the office environment. The office furniture sector is developing into a more human-orientated and innovative market.
However, according to Guan Mingwei, Designer and Deputy General Manager of Saoswn Furniture Industrial, the replicating phenomenon still exists within the industry. Some short-sighted furniture companies focus only on current profits hence spare no efforts in copying other's new designs. This causes a vicious circle within the industry and eventually will hamper the healthy growth of China’s furniture industry.
Nevertheless, to his relief, increasingly more industrial enterprises are realizing the problem and are taking corrective actions. This is the only way the industry can make headway into global development.
In spite of stiff competition, Saoswn tries to keep pace with the world. They not only brought their best-made steel folding screen and worktable (which won a golden prize in last year's CIFF) but also new products made of aluminum alloy. They have applied a low temperature spray painting technique, which is commonly used in steel furniture to their wood furniture, thus producing high-quality, water-proof and bacteria-free worktables. An added benefit is that the production circle gets shorter.
Merryfair Office Furniture is proud of their office chairs in red, white, yellow and green; all neatly lined up to greet visitors. According to Zhao Xiaole, Sales Agent, their products are tailored to clients’ special needs. He continued to say that these office chairs are made of new material imported from Malaysia, which is more flexible than its previous materials and more comfortable to sit on. What’s more, these materials are durable, trendy and environmentally friendly.
Victory Office System Holding has put in a great deal of effort to change the colors of their furniture and they are going to take it one step further in their product components. They are committed to creating a light and lively office environment with their products by introducing more innovations. They are avoiding the rampant use of paint and glue materials in wood furniture that would otherwise contaminate the air inside the office environment and affact worker's health.
