Will the furniture be placed on a soft lawn or a hard surface?   Remember, if on the lawn floor, never use cork frame furniture, cork will absorb moisture, and then lead to frame damage, try to choose plastic, steel frame as a substitute.   If there is direct sunlight, it is best to be able to use a parasol, direct sunlight on the furniture and human skin will be harmful.   3. Partial use of carpet Partial use of carpet, decorative effect is good, especially in the case of outdoor patio functional partition is not so clear, the carpet can easily solve the problem.   Try to find the carpet suitable for outdoor space, they look like natural fibers, but in fact, it is made of synthetic fibers, can resist ultraviolet radiation, and moisture resistance.   4. Outdoor Furniture Care - For furniture that is afraid of the sun, it's a good idea to cover it with a protective cover if it's not going to be used for more than two or three weeks. - Even wooden furniture, summer should try to avoid exposure to the sun, can take storage and shade and other protective treatment. - Treat hardwood furniture by considering sanding it once a year and reapplying a protective coat of oil, stain, or polyurethane paint. Rinse rattan pieces with a hose every few weeks to prevent the seams of rattan pieces from storing dust. - Wiping off dust, debris, and excess watermarks from wood furniture on a regular basis is the best way to protect it. - For metal, it is recommended to apply a rust-resistant primer and then a surface rust-resistant paint compound. Avoid cleaners containing chemicals such as ammonia and trisodium phosphate from touching furniture made of metal to avoid chemical reactions.   Source: Garden Aesthetics   If there is any infringement, please contact to delete.

Shanghai Design Furniture Expo | Deniz Aktay's Unique Furniture Designs Combine Simplicity and Functionality
Shanghai Design Furniture Expo | Deniz Aktay's Unique Furniture Designs Combine Simplicity and Functionality
German furniture designer Deniz Aktay has recently made a name for himself in the furniture world through his use of 3D modeling. Using simple lines and geometric shapes, he creates extraordinary furniture that connects people to their environment in a harmonious way. This year in particular he will be realizing some of his latest designs. A trained architect, Deniz is an expert in CGI design and 3D modeling. As he embraces minimalism, while working for an architectural firm, he used his free time to design multifunctional furniture. Over the years, as his passion for design grew, this hobby turned into a full-time job. Although his designs may look simple, he is able to skillfully combine multiple uses. For example, his iconic bookcase, Bookgrove, is designed to hold dozens of books, providing easy access and a dynamic appeal. Used as a side table, it provides easy access to books. This and other designs won him several awards and paved the way for him to put his designs into production. We're excited to show off some of Deniz's designs in upcoming interviews and learn more about his design philosophy from him. And if you want to learn more about the design furniture, the best way is to visit Shanghai Design Furniture Expo. Q: Your designs are a perfect combination of lines, geometry and functionality. First of all, please share with us your design background and training. A: The aspects of creation, formation and design have always been important in my work during my studies of architecture and urban planning at the University of Stuttgart in Germany and as an architect with many years of experience. In my spare time I follow this passion and I have successfully participated in several furniture design competitions. In addition, I have always been fascinated by the visualization of building exteriors and interiors as well as 3D modeling. At first, it felt easy to just focus on creating pieces without worrying about how to realize them in the real world. This approach gave me a lot of freedom when designing, a process necessary to generate new ideas. Of course, now that I want to see my work realized, I need to understand the current state of possibilities and limitations in terms of technology and craftsmanship, but I still benefit from the fun and almost unlimited freedom every time I start designing in 3D. Q: Please share with us your design philosophy. A: When I started designing furniture, I wanted to do it right out of the box. But now I have a feeling that most manufacturers no longer have the heart to produce distinctive designs, which is understandable because the move can be very risky when there's no way to predict whether people will buy them or not. So for me, you'll see a lot of good designs that are clean, simple and minimalist, but only a few that are truly extraordinary. But I don't want to say that all designs are boring and mine are better, I just want to design some different furniture, and of course I can do it easily because I have the freedom to do whatever I want without the risk of visualization: if a manufacturer says that a design is impossible to do it doesn't mean that it's really impossible to do it, but it means that it takes a lot of work to do it. Furniture design must be exciting. It can evolve from a beautiful and extraordinary detail, a shape itself, an important feature, but sometimes also from a surprising color, but only if they are stable. Q: Please share with us some of your latest designs and the concepts behind their themes. A: My most successful designs are the book collection furniture I have created, such as Bookscrew. this piece demonstrates my favorite idea of a twisted sideboard, where one can access favorite books in a different way by twisting the metal frame and highlighting them in a special way. This generates a bookshelf and a sideboard at the same time. Bookscrew is an ingenious bookshelf designed to bring one's collection to the forefront. The minimalist shelves have a dramatic swooping twisting action and change from vertical to horizontal. Another successful design is the Bookgroove. here, long, deep curved grooves cut from a solid wood cylinder are the main feature of this side table bookshelf hybrid. With its compact shape, it doesn't take up much space and is multi-faceted. The recess is curved to accentuate and emphasize the curvature of the cylindrical body. This way it harmoniously fits into its overall shape and looks like it's constantly in motion. Q: How do you utilize lines and geometric shapes in your designs to simultaneously express beauty and functionality? A: I try to keep it simple. I certainly like the Bauhaus philosophy, which is characterized by simple yet elegant geometric shapes designed according to the intended function. Therefore, I not only try to integrate functionality into my designs, but I also try to make it a part of my design. Q: What are some of the challenges you have encountered in your designs? A: Challenges can sometimes come not from the design itself, but from my presence on social media and keeping my followers informed of my updates. Of course, I want to answer every comment, question and message, but sometimes I can't handle it properly. I apologize for that. Q: What are your sources of inspiration? A: I can find inspiration in many places, but most of it comes from other related arts such as music, painting, sculpture and fine art. But for the most part, I am inspired by other artists in the same field. Searching for good design work through Instagram or Pinterest is a major source of inspiration. Just look at other designs and you will be influenced by other designs and art, consciously or unconsciously. Source: our narratives If there is any infringement, please contact to delete.

Shanghai Outdoor Home Expo | Outdoor Leisure Furniture: The Blue Ocean Circuit under the Wave of Consumption Upgrade
Shanghai Outdoor Home Expo | Outdoor Leisure Furniture: The Blue Ocean Circuit under the Wave of Consumption Upgrade
With the global consumption upgrading and life concept change, outdoor leisure furniture has evolved from a functional product to a symbol of quality life. As a carrier for human beings to expand the boundaries of life and get close to nature, this industry is becoming one of the fastest-growing segmentation tracks in the furniture field by virtue of its mature industrial chain and diversified application scenarios (villas, hotels, parks, etc.). In Europe and the United States to lead the market and the emerging market demand awakening of the dual drive, the industry pattern to accelerate the reshaping of China's manufacturing enterprises have ushered in the transformation and upgrading of the key opportunities. If you want to learn more about the tips,the best way is to visit Shanghai Outdoor Home Expo. The market pattern: Europe and the United States lead, emerging market potential release Europe and the United States have long occupied the high point of global outdoor furniture consumption. North America as the largest market, contributing more than 40% of global sales, Europe is relying on the deep culture of outdoor life and environmental policies (such as the EU Green Home Initiative), demand continues to grow. Data shows that leisure consumption will explode when the per capita GDP exceeds US$3,000-5,000. Currently, developed countries have far exceeded this threshold, while emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East are gradually entering a growth inflection point, becoming an important source of future incremental growth. International brands occupy the high-end market by virtue of their design and brand advantages, but high manufacturing costs are forcing the industry chain to shift to labor cost depressions such as China and Vietnam. In China, for example, despite rising labor costs, through the upgrading of intelligent production equipment (e.g., welding robots, automatic spraying lines) and the construction of flexible supply chains, Chinese manufacturing enterprises have not only consolidated their OEM advantages, but also cut into the cross-border e-commerce track with their own brands.20 In 2024, cross-border e-commerce exports from Zhejiang amounted to 358.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.1%, confirming that The export value of Zhejiang cross-border e-commerce reaches RMB 358.68 billion in 2024, a year-on-year growth of 10.1%, confirming the competitiveness of the “Made in China + Brand Going to Sea” model. Industry trends: innovation-driven and ecological reconstruction (1) High-end and personalized demand forcing technology iteration Consumer demand for product design, materials (such as environmentally friendly recycled aluminum, mildew-resistant rattan weaving) and functionality (modular combination, intelligent temperature control) has increased significantly. Head enterprises through R & D investment to create differentiated advantages, such as integrated solar-powered outdoor heaters, foldable and portable camping furniture, to promote the added value of products. (2) Branding and channel changes reshape the competitive logic The industry has shifted from “OEM OEM” to “brand premium” competition, and enterprises cover different customer groups through multi-brand strategy. Online channels have become the key to break the game: European and American markets rely on platforms such as Amazon and Wayfair, while emerging markets are rapidly penetrating through social media marketing (e.g. TikTok scenario-based grass-raising). At the same time, the offline experience store through the creation of “courtyard life model room” to enhance user stickiness. (3) Compliance barriers and intelligent production as core competitiveness The European and American markets have tightened product certification (UL fire, EN581 structural safety), forcing companies to upgrade their quality control systems. Chinese factories through the MES system to realize the production of the whole process of digitalization, the defective rate will be controlled at 0.5% or less, while reducing 30% of labor costs. Industry concentration continues to increase, SMEs are facing the double squeeze of “high compliance costs + weak channel resources”. Future outlook: from manufacturing highland to ecological leadership With the deepening of the concept of global outdoor life, the industry scale is expected to exceed 100 billion dollars. For Chinese enterprises, it is necessary to build barriers in three aspects: (1) Technological breakthrough: deepen material innovation (such as carbon fiber lightweight), intelligent Internet of Things (APP control outdoor lighting system); (2) Brand overseas: break the monopoly of European and American brands through localized operation (overseas warehouse + localized design team); (3) Green transformation: responding to the ESG trend, developing recyclable materials and low-carbon production processes to seize the first opportunity under the EU carbon tariff policy. It is foreseeable that the outdoor leisure furniture industry will not only be a competition of “manufacturing capacity”, but also a competition of “life program”. Who can take the lead in technological innovation and ecological construction, who will be able to become a real leader in this blue ocean. The China International Furniture Fair (Shanghai) will be held from September 9th to 12th, 2025 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai Hongqiao). This event is a great opportunity to explore the latest trends, innovations, and developments in the home furnishing industry.
