Detailed status quo and future trends of furniture hardware accessories in China

With the development of industrial technology, furniture hardware accessories have achieved mechanical mass production, and hardware accessories have higher requirements for versatility, interchangeability, functionality, and decorativeness. The diversification of the substrate, the change of structure and the increase in the use of functions make the furniture hardware's role in the furniture no longer merely the connection of the decoration and some of the moving parts. Its functional requirements are getting higher and higher, and the areas involved are also becoming more The wider it is.

In this way, the status of furniture hardware becomes more and more important. His development has played an active role in furniture manufacturing companies to increase production efficiency, reduce costs, improve product quality, enhance the competitiveness of domestic and foreign markets, and increase profits.

The current status of the hardware on the market is very rich. Every year, the world's best professional hardware manufacturers will work hard on the design of their own products. Famous foreign manufacturers continue to develop new products and bring a new look to the design of furniture hardware accessories. In today's trend of homogenization of products, powerful manufacturers have used advanced technology to design more humanized features for their products, giving them a more stylish look and making them closely linked to changes in furniture style.

According to the survey, there are hundreds of brands of furniture hardware in the Chinese market, but there are few companies that actually have a certain reputation in the market. In particular, even fewer domestic hardware products can enter the ranks of high-end products. More than 90% of high-end furniture is fitted with foreign hardware, such as: Germany's HAFELE, Hettich, Austria's BLUM, Italian Ferrari and so on. Foreign hardware has become the main symbol of high-end furniture. Although some domestic large-scale furniture companies have had a certain reputation, they have to adopt foreign hardware in order to meet the fierce market competition in the high-end furniture field, in order to further expand the product. Market share. For those small furniture companies, the use of foreign hardware is an important way for them to rapidly improve product quality and popularity. Foreign hardware has such a position in domestic furniture products and is inextricably linked with its own advantages.

The design era of China's furniture hardware accessories industry has quietly begun. At the same time, design is increasingly becoming a bottleneck restricting the development of China's furniture hardware accessories industry. Professor Hu Jingchu of Zhongnan Forestry College once categorized the status quo of Chinese furniture design as “more than five and five less” — more counterfeiting, less creation, more commonalities, less personality, more international forms, fewer ethnic forms, more roads, fewer products, There are many no-name brands and fewer brand names. The same problem exists in the design of furniture hardware.

Enterprises should realize that the design level, manufacturing technology, and management level of furniture hardware accessories in China are still relatively backward, and they are still relatively immature compared with industrial advanced countries. After China's accession to the WTO, the market competition faced by the industry has become more intense. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the design and production level of furniture hardware accessories products through high technology, and to accelerate development with advanced management, so that China's furniture hardware accessories industry to a new level.

Trends The development of modern furniture hardware accessories also advocates people-oriented; and it is popular with all kinds of new advanced demountable furniture hardware. The development and introduction of new types of hardware accessories, in the function, style, quality of the update and increase, but also gives the furniture style and function of the continuous update and development. In order to improve the furniture production efficiency, facilitate production and design, standardize, serialize and generalize the processing of furniture holes, resulting in a 32mm series, achieving standardization and strong interchangeability of furniture components. The standardization of furniture also makes furniture hardware more convenient in terms of versatility, interchangeability, and functionality.

There is a newly developed hardware, which is very expensive. Most of the furniture shipped from China to Europe uses this removable hardware. It can save a lot of installation time and can be quickly assembled. Such as Onefix, Slimfix, Pushfix, Caravan and other hardware.

Looking at the latest technology and application of modern furniture hardware, there are four main aspects:

1. In modern furniture hardware, the proportion of glass, high-gloss materials (matiques, paints, high-gloss veneer materials, etc.) and the combination of metal materials and traditional furniture plates has increased. Such as: the application of full glass door hardware gradually increased.

2. Damping function has become an essential function of various furniture, for example, now used more is the damping drawer rail, damping door hinge, damping sliding door hardware, damping door touch, damping up and down door hardware.

3. Elevation combination table frame system, desktop shelf management system, for example: LCD display stand, telephone stand, etc. Various wire management systems, for example, desktop dark sockets and various special hardware are widely used in office furniture. For example: heavy basket drawers, office hinges, etc.

4, press the door-type door hinges, drawer rails and dark handles are widely used in the handleless furniture and dark handle furniture, such as: PUSH hinges, press the pin, PUSH drawer rails, dark handle. The concealed connector means that the connection between the two boards, the connector is invisible from the outside, and there are numerous methods of connection. Dark-handle furniture, with no handles on the surface, is used on kitchen cabinets, and is now used in hall cabinets. These push-type anklets are pressed when opened.
