What can be noted? First of all, this is a variety of materials for furniture solutions. It's amazing that people from the military and space industries have found use in their production and created weightless carbon poles, very strong and light.
True, about 9 thousand rubles will have to be paid for one such support, but it is possible that there will be demand for such a proposal. Wood in combination with metal elements looks unusually fresh and attracts the attention of visitors.
Picture 1. On the left is a table on carbon supports (the support weighs no more than 50 grams, it can withstand a load of over 200 kg), on the right is a combination of metal and wood.
The dining groups at the exhibition are shown to be diverse, but as in all furniture there are pronounced trends in the decors of laminated chipboard used to create dining groups in the color of concrete, bronze, natural oak.

Similar colors are found in furniture for the living room and even children's.

In general, a significant share of the exposition was occupied by the previously ignored, at least at exhibitions, loft style. I am glad that buyers are finally satisfied with furniture made of laminated chipboard and, together with their multiple combinations, now the manufacturer can partially replace them with modern warm colors of decors or a cold loft in the form of concrete, marble, etc.
Below is a vivid example of an unusual color scheme for the bedroom. Combination of chipboard marble and deep blue.

Classical furniture in various versions is not inferior to the novelties that have burst in and always remains relevant. Collections made of wood with inlay, by the way, if you create an alternative to wooden furniture with inlay, you should pay attention to whether it is applied to a film or enamel, covered with a finishing layer of varnish.
It looks on the product like silk-screen printing, inlay. Does not require special translation skills, large investments add 0.5% to the cost of more than 20% profit.

Throughout the week, workshops on decorating furniture using "translators" were held at our booth, many noted the ease of use and bought the decor on the same day in the office.
Based on the results of the exhibition, we can say that the market does not stand still. Consumer interest and demand encourages furniture makers to create more and more new collections, be it classic furniture with decorative elements, or furniture made of chipboard in new fresh colors.
Board manufacturers invite you to express yourself, and we, as a manufacturer of PVC edges, can offer decors for trendy boards, and as a direct supplier, we offer diversified furniture collections for the most demanding customers.
