FURNITURE Extraordinary

FURNITURE Extraordinary Creations in Solid Wood, at the imm cologne 2019 The Real Tree Story In these times of digitalisation, high tech and global networking, there is a growing need for oases of calm. Our homes in particular should be a place where we feel able to slow down. Natural materials create a rich sensory aesthetic. Organic shapes and a pleasing texture embody an unspoilt authenticity, giving us a comfortable sense of security. There is also a growing demand for products with character, custom-made to suit personal preferences. This results in unique items with distinctive characteristics, an unmistakable charm and special charisma ‐ our home becomes a reflection of our personality, as well as a refuge. Furniture from TEAM 7 fulfils these aspirations. Today this Austrian manufacturer is regarded as a pioneer of environmentally friendly designer furniture, and is one of the world’s leading providers of sustainable furnishing concepts. Their products are sold in more than 30 countries worldwide. TEAM 7 is uniquely successful in expressing the principles of nature in a contemporary design language, while also perfecting the concept of a furniture system. Their latest innovations exemplify this once again. ”There is a special art to combining fine, precise craftsmanship with optimal functionality”, explains CEO and owner Dr Georg Emprechtinger.

The trend towards urbanisation demands entirely new concepts in furniture design and planning. How do we define dining space, living space, work space? Customers want all-in-one solutions. For today’s lifestyles, the functional areas in our homes are merging, they often fulfil several functions at once, and are used flexibly. TEAM 7’s filigno range is a perfect example of this trend. In the past, this versatile system has already led the way from the kitchen into the dining room and its sophisticated solid wood design style is now advancing into the living area too. Smart functions, refined details and customised furniture, made to order ‐ these are the defining principles of this concept for living. As well as storage furniture with drawers, flap fronts and hinged doors, there is also a choice of wall shelves in L, C or U forms, and wall panels with shelves and consoles.

It covers production, consumption, imports and exports of furniture in a wide selection of countries. The number of countries covered increased gradually from 50 to 70. Starting with the July 2017 edition of CSIL ‘World Furniture Outlook’, coverage has been extended to 100 countries. The 100 countries constitute almost 90 % of world population and more than 95 % of world GDP. Aggregate furniture production for these countries (at production prices, excluding retail markup) exceeded US$ 460 billion in 2018. This means the inclusion of virtually all countries that are significant for the furniture industry. After the expansion, CSIL coverage includes 40 countries in Europe, 18 countries in the Americas, 21 in Middle East and Africa and 21 in Asia and the Pacific. The main furniture producer is China, with 39 % of world furniture production. Other major furniture manufacturing countries are the United States, Germany, Italy, India, Poland and Vietnam. From 2009 to 2018 production in Asia and Pacific more than doubled while changes in other regions were comparatively minor. As a consequence, in 2018 more than half of world furniture production took place in Asia and the Pacific. The leading importers of furniture are the United States, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The main furniture exporting country is China, followed at a distance by Germany, Poland, Italy and Vietnam. The international furniture trade of this group of 100 countries (which we shall hereafter refer to as the world), amounted to about US$ 150 billion in 2018. This corresponds to about 1% of world trade of manufactures. Forecasts are for continuing growth both in 2019 and 2020. The forecast is affected by substantial downside risks deriving from growing trade tensions and protectionist policies. www.worldfurnitureonline.com No. 1 • March 2019 33
