American furniture: simple and atmospheric, with random lines but clean and capable.
Chinese classical furniture: elegant, exquisite and attractive. Not only beautiful, but also practical!
Neoclassical furniture: smooth lines and exquisite carvings. Both nostalgic and fashionable style image, not only middle-aged and elderly people like it, but even a young person has begun to have a soft spot for it.
2. According to the materials used, furniture is divided into solid wood furniture, panel furniture, soft furniture, rattan furniture, bamboo furniture, metal furniture and steel wood furniture.
1. Solid wood furniture: logs are made, polished and painted. Exquisite materials, durable.
2. Panel furniture: panel molding, stable performance, easy deformation and convenient processing and transportation.
3. Soft furniture: Soft furniture mainly refers to furniture with sponge and fabric as the main body.
4, rattan furniture: light and generous, those finely intertwined rattan simple and refreshing.
5. Metal furniture: highly personalized, rich in color choices, diverse in varieties, foldable, and inexpensive.
6. Steel-wood furniture: Simple geometric structure, simple steel-wood combination and simple color expression express the simplicity of steel-wood furniture.
7. Glass furniture: It is very popular with its unique crystal clear, fresh and clear features.
8. Marble furniture: the surface is crystal clear and moist, the texture is warm and graceful, the pattern and texture are beautiful, and it has the advantages of not being afraid of dirt and scalding, which is deeply loved by consumers.
9. Ceramic furniture: Ceramic materials generally have high hardness, but poor plasticity. Besides the use of utensils and decorations, it also plays an important role in the development of science and technology.
In recent years, the living standards of farmers, especially those in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, have even surpassed those of urban residents. The broad market of furniture in the future must take into account the wealthy farmers, whose demand for furniture will increase by 20% to 30% every year. According to the survey of Guangdong Furniture Association, at least 80% farmers in Guangdong have to buy all kinds of finished furniture when they get married and build houses.
This change in farmers' purchase of office furniture mainly comes from the following reasons: First, the improvement of farmers' cultural quality makes them increasingly yearn for a home-style environment with cultural taste. Secondly, after more than 20 years of rural reform, the rural household accounting unit has become more perfect, which is both a production unit and a consumption unit, so it is necessary to purchase some necessary office furniture and work at home to adapt to the changes of the times. The furniture industry in China has experienced the first high-speed development period, focusing on quantitative expansion, and initially established a complete industrial system with complete categories and international standards. Products can meet the needs of people's lives and the needs of the international market. In the next five to 10 years, under the background of international furniture industry transfer, China furniture industry will usher in the second high-speed development period. This period is mainly not the expansion of quantity, but the improvement of quality. After entering the 2 1 century, the government of China proposed to accelerate the pace of urbanization and small urbanization, fully prosper the rural economy, and accelerate the urbanization process, so as to further stimulate the consumer market and expand the consumption field. This move by the state will certainly further promote the housing construction in China, so as to develop housing-related industries. According to the needs of society and development, the State Council put forward the housing industrialization, which will drive the standardization, serialization and industrialization of tens of thousands of housing supporting products. Due to the development of housing industrialization, housing has entered the market as a commodity, providing development space for all kinds of furniture and supporting products.
Household office furniture
Since China's entry into WTO, China local furniture has begun to pay attention to the design, research and development and market development of office furniture, and professional office furniture enterprises have emerged in an endless stream, which is more in line with the traditional concept of Chinese people. High quality and low price, durable. However, due to historical problems, there was a lack of understanding of office environment, employee privacy and ergonomics in the early days. After continuous study and progress, I gradually accelerated the pace of international integration.
International office furniture
As early as the early 1980s, foreign office furniture brands entered the China market. However, due to the style, concept, price and other reasons, most international brand furniture can only provide services for international enterprises and large local enterprises.
Foreign brands pay more attention to the integration of office environment in furniture industry. The balance between freedom, privacy, function and simplicity has always been the concept pursued by the international office environment. The earliest international brand furniture enterprise in China has its own unique features in starting office environment, multifunctional office furniture and ergonomic chairs.
International brand furniture has always been in a leading position in the high-end market of office industry. High-tech industries, securities finance, accounting lawyers and other industries that require high office environment will adopt it.
Basic knowledge of office furniture materials
Classification of office furniture materials:
(1) aluminum: aluminum belongs to one of the nonferrous metals in the metal category. Because of its wide use, aluminum profiles are widely used in furniture: screen skeleton, various hanging beams, table feet, decorative strips, handles, trunking and cover plates, chair tubes and so on. , can be ever-changing design and use! They are introduced as follows:
Commonly used are aluminum profiles and die-casting aluminum alloys. Among them, aluminum ingots with purity above 92% are used as the main raw materials, and metal elements such as carbon, magnesium, silicon and sulfur are added to form a multi-element "alloy". 1. 1 aluminum profiles: aluminum profiles are often used as screens and windows. It adopts extrusion molding technology, that is, after aluminum ingots and other raw materials are melted in the furnace, they are extruded into the mold by an extruder for outflow molding, and profiles with different sections can also be extruded. The main properties, namely strength, hardness and wear resistance, meet the national standard GB6063. Advantages: the weight is only 2.8, it does not rust, the design changes quickly, the die investment is less, and the longitudinal elongation can reach more than 10 meter. The appearance of aluminum profiles can be divided into two types: bright and matte. The treatment process adopts anodic oxidation, and the surface treatment oxide film reaches the thickness of 0.12m/m. The wall thickness of aluminum profiles is selected according to the optimization of product design, not the thicker the better in the market, but according to the requirements of cross-sectional structure, which can be uneven from 0.5~5mm to 5 mm. The layman thinks that the thicker the tougher it is, which is actually a wrong view.
Disadvantages: warping, deformation, black line, convex-concave line and white line. If the designer's level is high and the mold design and production process are reasonable, the above defects can not be obviously avoided. The inspection of defects should be carried out according to the inspection method stipulated by the state, that is, the sight distance is 40~50CM to identify defects. Aluminum without oxidation treatment is easy to "rust", which leads to the decline of performance and the longitudinal strength is not as good as that of iron products. The wear resistance of surface oxide layer is not as good as that of electroplating layer, and the cost is higher. 1.2 die-casting aluminum alloy is different from profile processing method in terms of equipment. Its raw materials are aluminum ingots (purity about 92%) and alloy materials, which are melted in a melting furnace and molded in a die casting machine. Die-casting aluminum products can be designed like toys with different shapes, which is convenient for connection in all directions. In addition, it has high hardness and strength.
Die-casting aluminum molding process is divided into:
1, die casting
2. Rough polishing to remove the residual material of the mold.
Step 3: Fine polishing
(2) Hardware: The concept of "hardware" is a popular saying. The standard classification should be divided into ferrous metals and nonferrous metals. It is used in furniture, including tubular, rod-shaped, plate-shaped, linear and angular. 2. 1 ferrous metal parts mainly refer to iron products.
Advantages: deformation resistance, extremely high strength, good wear resistance, high hardness, low price and long service life. It belongs to carbon-iron alloy and is divided into high carbon steel, low carbon steel and medium carbon steel. Divided into round tube, square tube, angle steel and steel plate. The round tube is mainly used for chair products; Square pipes are used for beams and supports; Steel plates are mainly used for baffles, mesh plates, pendants, handrails, metal cabinets, doors, etc.
Disadvantages:
1, easy to rust
2, the volume is heavy
3, afraid of humidity
The methods to solve the above defects include electroplating, spraying, blackening and bluing. )
There are many ways to process and shape hardware: bending, punching, drilling, welding, cutting and stamping. In short, it is processed according to the design requirements or product requirements. 2.2 Non-ferrous metal parts refer to all metal parts except iron products, such as aluminum, copper, zinc and stainless steel. It has a characteristic that it is not easy to rust, and its strength is worse than that of ferrous metal. Widely used in furniture: aluminum plate, aluminum strip, stainless steel tube, stainless steel plate, copper plate and zinc plate.
Stainless steel parts: Stainless steel parts can be divided into stainless iron and stainless steel: "430" is often called stainless iron and "304" is pure stainless steel. One way to distinguish them is to test with a magnet that "430" can be attracted by magnets, but "304" can't. The proportion of stainless steel is slightly higher than that of iron products, but the price is four times higher than that of iron products. So only high-end products are used.
Copper products: Copper products are divided into pure copper and copper alloys. Pure copper, also known as red copper, has poor strength and hardness, but good toughness. Brass is widely used in furniture in copper alloys, and it is an alloy copper mainly containing zinc. The price of pure copper is slightly 30~40% higher than that of "304" stainless copper, and the price of brass is 20% lower than that of pure copper. The hardness and strength of copper alloy are slightly higher than that of stainless copper, but it is easily broken and brittle. The copper parts used in furniture are mainly handles and embedded screws. In order to prevent "rust", pure copper can only be used after electroplating, but brass is not used, and there are fewer products widely used in furniture.
Zinc products: Pure zinc products are rarely used, mainly combined with zinc alloy or steel. Such as galvanized sheet, electrolytic sheet, etc. It is less used in furniture because the strength of zinc products is poor. Zinc alloy fittings, such as eccentric buckle, connection point of structural parts, etc. The specific gravity of zinc alloy is slightly lower than that of iron by about 6.8, and its price is between steel and aluminum alloy. Most zinc alloys produce furniture accessories in the form of die casting.
Titanium zirconium alloy: this expensive metal is used in furniture, mostly in the form of electroplating, and is used in high-grade handles, hinges and high-gear exposed connectors or hotel furniture. Its electroplating cost is about 40% higher than that of chromium plating, but its appearance is high-grade, similar to that of gold and silver products, with good wear resistance and no rust. 2.3 Many metal furniture hardware products use castings, such as handles and door hinges. In 2007, there were many production methods of various castings popular in the market, such as precision casting, die casting and casting. The casting materials are brass, stainless steel, zinc-tin alloy and aluminum alloy. Features of casting products: exquisite, special shape, etc. The disadvantage is that the single piece cost is high, and the process cost of different castings is different. From high to low, the cost of precision casting and die casting is from high to low: die casting and precision casting. The disadvantages of casting products are: the production cycle is slightly longer, the products have to go through 2~3 processes to make qualified parts, and the parts have to be decorated by electroplating, polishing, wire drawing, sandblasting and oil spraying according to different requirements.
(3)3. 1 Plastic products are widely used in plastic furniture. There are many kinds of materials: ABS, PP, PVC, PU, POM, PA, PMMA, PE, PS and PC, and different materials have different application ranges.
ABS: commonly known as engineering plastics, it can be used for connectors, chair backs and seat boards. It is the main raw material for plastic electroplating (water electroplating).
PP: common name polypropylene, used for five-star feet, handrails, foot pads and connectors with low strength requirements. Disadvantages: poor wear resistance and low surface hardness.
PVC: commonly known as polyvinyl chloride, mainly used for edge sealing and insertion conditions. It is suitable for extrusion molding. At the same time, PVC material belongs to non-combustible materials in plastic parts, and its processing and molding temperature stability is poor, especially its color stability is not good.
PU: commonly known as polyurethane. Mainly used for handrail (foam) fittings.
POM: The common name is Sai Gang. Mainly used for wear-resistant parts such as foot pads, casters, door hinges, hinges and so on. Wear resistance and pressure resistance, but poor dimensional stability.
PA: commonly known as nylon. Mainly used as foot pads, five-star claws, casters and other places with wear resistance and high life requirements. Features: Wear resistance, pressure resistance, high strength and long indoor service life. Some models, such as PA66, are resistant to high temperature of 2200, but the disadvantages are variability, easy breakage and poor sun and weather resistance.
PMMA:: plexiglass (commonly known as sub-afterburner). There are five transparent materials in plastics, and PMMA is the most transparent one. The workpiece smells of acetic acid when it is cut, and it is easy to deform when it is processed. Soaking in boiling water can shape and bend. Disadvantages: the surface is easy to scratch, the hardness is low, the bending is easy to crack, and the price is more than 20% higher than ABS.
PC: commonly known as polycarbonate. This variety is also a transparent material with high surface hardness, scratch resistance, strong impact resistance, high strength and good weather resistance (that is, not afraid of sunlight). Screen partitions and sun panels in furniture are made of this material by hollow extrusion. Features: high cost, about 40% higher than PMMA.
