In ancient times, mankind used stone to make "furniture." After that, there were wood, metal, and other materials. We just said that wood has been used for thousands of years.
A tree goes to the roots, goes to the bark and goes to the heart of the wood, and is sawn into plates. It can only get about 15% of the net, and 85% is thrown away. The fact that there are many forests with a small population is also a matter of fact. Now that there are more and more people and there are fewer and fewer forests, the use of wood will cause serious damage to the environment and it will be unsustainable.
After the industrial revolution, Western scholars began to propose "utilization of the whole tree and utilization of the entire forest." So there was the invention of a wood-based panel. Wood-based panels include plywood, medium density fiberboard, chipboard, high density fiberboard, low density fiberboard...
When a tree is made into a wood-based board, the utilization rate is not 15%, but more than 80%, and it is more convenient for making furniture. So the West started to have:
—— Panel furniture: The main material is man-made board with surface treatment technology (such as wood veneer, melamine impregnated paper, etc.).
—— Panel wood furniture: wood plus wood-based panels, for design or mechanical requirements, some parts of furniture use wood, other parts of the use of wood-based panels.
Western furniture also came this way, such as Britain.
AD 1000-1660: Using Oak
AD 1660-1720: Walnut
AD 1720-1770: Mahogany
AD 1770-early 19th century: Satin wood
The oldest oak was used because the local reserves were relatively large and the population was small at that time. After that, it was changed to walnut (60 years) and mahogany (50 years). After occupying India as a colony, the Indian satin was used instead. Satin.
Today's British furniture, no matter how high-end design, is a combination of wood and board, a large area of ​​the board surface, all use veneer board veneer (veneer).
In the United States, too, they put various “expensive†veneers on the artificial boards, even using veneering, and then use sophisticated painting and processing techniques (such as destruction, wormholes, etc.) to achieve the ultimate goal. The desired visual effect.
For a while, the British liked to use yew, but when yew was short-circuited and protected, they switched to using other cedars with similar patterns, or even veneered wood.
The Chinese admired Italian furniture and went to Milan for pilgrimage. However, which Italian furniture company advertises all solid wood furniture? The Chinese learn only the "shape" of Italians and cannot learn the essence of Italians.
Furniture is in design. Of course, the design I talked about includes design of the exterior and the design of the structure. How many designers do we know about structural design? Because this aspect contains the technical knowledge of mechanics, our designers are mostly from liberal arts. Therefore, designers do not have the ability to "play" boards and other materials.
What is even worse is that our manufacturers of wood-based panels cut corners and materials, resulting in problems with quality, excessive levels of formaldehyde, and the inaction of the testing units. Therefore, furniture made of wood-based panels was crowned “toxic furnitureâ€. The wood-based panels that came from the West have all changed in China and become poisonous.
In the past 100 years, scientists and environmentalists have resorted to full-tree utilization and hopes for the use of the entire forest. The materials of furniture have returned to the ancient “solid wood†and “all-solid wood†materials and have been used for low-level materials. They cannot be obtained. Comprehensive use of various materials to form a composite structure for maximum visual, functional and performance results.
When we are in such an industry, can we, like the apparel industry, make consumers ask for contradictory demands on products? For example:
- Durable and lightweight
- Durable and cheap
- Durable and functional
......
At least today, we dare not make these demands because we only emphasize the use of a single material, so the product can not be a single performance.
