Modern Shenzhen office furniture customization: Advancement in materials and craftsmanship
In ancient times, wood was used. Even now, the main material for custom-made office furniture in Shenzhen is still wood. However, new materials have begun to appear in other parts of the furniture, such as glass, acrylic, sheet metal and iron parts, and so on.
On the one hand, there is the shortage of wood. Although human beings are increasingly expanding nature, the total amount of resources has not increased in the short term and remains unchanged. Therefore, people have begun to choose other substitutes. Secondly, humans began to pursue the different textures brought by other materials, the sense of space brought by glass materials, and the serious and heavy nature of metal materials.
The growth of wood is relatively slow. Perhaps a Shenzhen office desk, from its initial use to its end of life and entry into the scrap workshop, is all within the growth range of the tree. The growth rate of the tree cannot keep up with the consumption rate, so people began to use other materials to replace wood. Glass table boards emerged, which immediately reduced the usage rate of wood. Some even used stone Of course, modern office furniture made of stone is rare and rarely seen.
In terms of craftsmanship, modern office furniture has also begun to undergo changes. Wood fireproofing can be regarded as an upgrade in craftsmanship. Of course, such a technique may not yet be widely adopted. The previous article also mentioned the "Abang Palace Tragedy" where "the Chu people's fire left the scorched earth pitifully". Nowadays, many custom-made office furniture products are starting to use fireproof materials. This is partly due to the application of fireproof coatings and partly because of the soaking of individual materials. The wood materials treated in this way reduce the possibility of fire spread and avoid large-scale casualties and property losses.
In ancient times, many pieces of furniture were made of fine materials and had complex workmanship. Of course, this was also due to the dedication of the artisans. As a result, some technical techniques and craftsmanship cannot be imitated by our modern office furniture. It cannot be said that our craftsmanship level has deteriorated. It should be partly due to the development of The Times. The fast-paced working environment makes it difficult for us to spend months or even years completing a piece of work. The cost-effectiveness does not allow us to do so, so it is very difficult for us to spend time and effort pondering the craftsmanship.
The advancement of modern office furniture in Shenzhen is not merely about the improvement of materials and craftsmanship, but also the emergence of new design concepts. It is the wheel of time that has driven the entire modern office furniture industry forward to evolve and transform.
