According to the news from the United States on October 10: The struggling global furniture industry has found a much-needed life-saving pill from some unconventional channels. In the years before this, who would have thought about what materials such as “recycled†wood, bicycle tires or bourbon barrels could touch the industry a little bit, let alone save it from the precarious sales predicament. However, according to the statistics of the market promotion organization Sustainability, since 2007, the sales of green furniture have increased by 20% annually to the current 250 million US dollars. Although this is only a small number in the home decoration industry with a market value of 76 billion US dollars, it is also a symbol of vitality that has been rare in the furniture industry in recent times. You can easily read the magazines in the newsstand, and you can see that the design products are desperately stained with a little environmental and green light, from lamps made of corrugated cardboard (recyclable!) To leftovers. This type of product is often seen on couches wrapped in tent materials. Mainstream brands like IKEA (see map) and Pottery Barn are also among the environmental protection torrents. They have come up with products such as soybean-based cushions and certified sustainable wood products to show their position.
It's easy for you to echo this environmental trend that is rising globally. However, some people in the furniture industry said that the prevalence of environmental trends is partly due to the recession of the economic situation, which has restrained conspicuous luxury consumption. Luxurious materials such as velvet and calf leather seem to be away from people's attention. These days, some trend observers say that some fashionable armchairs are more likely to use the old hessian material as the surface decoration, in order to achieve a more approachable and far from the boastful effect. Under such an economy, interior designer Oliver Furth from Los Angeles said that people now do not want to leave a feeling of spending money on others, but "If it is an environmentally friendly green product, it does not matter if it costs more. "
The use of materials that are recyclable or recycled is not a new idea, but the practice of this idea has recently become increasingly fierce. For example, a used bourbon barrel can be used as a fashionable side table. A design company in Brooklyn, New York, used recycled car springs to make a chair worth $ 2,800. In addition, the range of recycled materials is much wider than wood. Under the current design trend that seeks to reduce the amount of landfill, a bar stool made of old chrome alloy bicycle wheels can also be sold for $ 425.
Although you may not need avant-garde decorations to show an environmentally friendly color, there are indeed more environmentally minded designers who are trying to cater to this mainstream taste. You may not imagine that the Adirondack chair by Loll Designs is actually made of a melted milk jug. Or the original features of Lee ndustries' classic decorations are actually some recycled plastic bottles and metal springs.
But how can consumers tell which product is indeed good for the environment, and which one is just a whitewash effect? Experts say consumers can choose products made by members of the Sustainable Furnishings Council. The industry alliance requires that its highest-level member companies must obtain Sustainable Materials Rating Technology certification.
The problem is that many brands that use environmental protection to attract customers do not have similar certifications, including IKEA. IKEA has stated that it is too difficult to make its suppliers all over the world comply with the general regulations. Even some certified enterprises will not strictly abide by relevant requirements in their actual production. In addition, such certification and environmental protection requirements usually incur additional costs. Copeland Furniture, which has products in 17 states in the United States, said that the use of certified wood has increased its cost by 10%, and this increase in cost will inevitably be added to consumers. But overall, the cost of large-scale production of environmentally friendly furniture is still lower than that of limited-edition design products. Pottery Barn ’s eco-friendly sofas start at $ 999, and what about those sofas made of used military tents? $ 3,995! -Not to mention their patch.
