Shanghai Outdoor Home Expo | The era of “outdoor lifestyle” has come, outdoor furniture should be updated
Shanghai Outdoor Home Expo | The era of “outdoor lifestyle” has come, outdoor furniture should be updated
China's outdoor industry is ushering in a new era from “niche specialty” to “universal sharing”. Today's outdoor context has long been not limited to mountaineering, hiking, camping, fishing, outdoor attributes about the home, commercial space camping fashion, as well as deeper business ecology is gradually moving towards reality. This not only drives the development of traditional outdoor-related industries such as outdoor equipment, sports shoes and apparel, but also spawns the rise of various new business models. We call this new outdoor business era with new features - “outdoor lifestyle” era. If you want to know more, welcome to Shanghai Outdoor Home Expo.   The trend of “outdoor” seems to have long ceased to be the waves and bubbles of agitation, and is gradually changing and stabilizing, and has become a commercial and livelihood force that cannot be underestimated. If the “camping tide” two years ago was the beginning of the gradual explosion of the outdoors, last year's “Citywalk”, has overshadowed the camping tide, and has become the front-runner of the current leisure outdoors. The popularity of Citywalk represents people's desire to go out anytime and get close to the outdoors more and more strongly and permanently. Under this momentum, even “outdoor at home” has begun to become a keyword in life.   Outdoor, more and more popularization, more and more fun. Outdoor is no longer a leisure hobby for a small group of people in the context of rapid economic growth, but a mode of life for the general public - people are willing to design and adjust their own lives with the outdoor as the center.     Comprehensively analyzing the development logic of outdoor activities, we believe that the outdoor has undergone a comprehensive evolution, not only as a simple form of leisure, but also gradually evolved into a brand new way of life. This lifestyle combines health, adventure, socialization and other elements, attracting more and more people to participate and pursue.   We have systematically sorted out the five major business tracks in the outdoor lifestyle field to gain insights into the highlights of the brands operating in the field today, and analyze how to express the lifestyle as a whole and achieve success.   2.1 Outdoor Sports Outdoor sports is the core component of the outdoor lifestyle, covering a variety of sports that use the natural environment as a venue, such as mountaineering, rock climbing, cycling, camping, skiing, rafting and so on. Based on a wide range of outdoor people, abundant outdoor natural resources and specialized outdoor brands, the industry has experienced a period of high-speed growth and entered a relatively stable and refined development stage under the guidance of relevant national policies.   2.2 Wilderness Lodging Wilderness lodging, the highest level of lifestyle, is gradually gaining more and more attention and popularity after the camping boom. While enjoying the beauty of nature, tourists can also feel different from the traditional hotel accommodation experience.   The wilderness lodging industry covers a variety of types of lodging, such as tent camps, RV lodging, log cabin villas, tree houses, star houses, etc., each of which attracts different tourists with its unique style and features.   2.3 Courtyard Life Courtyard life, which integrates the fields of furniture, design, decoration, intelligent equipment and courtyard design, allows the outdoors to be integrated into home life.   As people's pursuit of outdoor living quality improves, the outdoor home industry shows great potential for development. In the future, with the continuous innovation of technology and market expansion, the outdoor home industry will bring people a richer and more diversified outdoor life experience.   2.4 Spiritual Healing In the booming domestic healing market, the market for spiritual healing is gradually opening up due to the attraction and healing power of the natural environment itself.   Based on the natural environment, spiritual healing combines healing, art and travel to help people realize spiritual healing, relaxation and growth, and to help individuals find inner balance and peace in the face of stress, anxiety and other mental troubles in modern society.   Young people are increasingly concerned about their mental health and spiritual growth, and the spiritual healing industry is providing a platform to find inner peace and realize self-growth, and is therefore gradually becoming more and more prosperous. The industry has a bright future and is expected to become an important force leading the healthy development of society in the future.   2.5 Integration Of course, most brands do not need to fully shift to the outdoor sector, but should seek organic integration with outdoor life. By skillfully incorporating natural elements, brands can revitalize their traditional business model and attract widespread attention and conversation. This can be done by organizing a professional outdoor event, creating branded content that fits with the spirit of the outdoors, or launching new products that incorporate creativity. In addition, launching limited edition outdoor souvenir products is also a strategy worth considering.   3.1 Deep Practice Deep engagement means building an outdoor lifestyle brand completely. From product design to production, to sales and service, the whole chain is involved. This requires a deep understanding of and passion for the outdoors, as well as the ability to react quickly to market changes.   3.2 Business integration Under the trend of “Outdoor+”, enterprises that have laid out their business in other relevant fields can integrate outdoor elements into their existing business to form a new business model. For example, travel agencies can carry out outdoor-themed travel activities, gyms can launch outdoor fitness courses, home furnishing enterprises to launch outdoor product lines. Through the integration of existing businesses, not only can you expand the scope of your business, but you can also increase the stickiness of users and improve the influence of your brand.   In the home furnishing industry, cross-border cooperation has become the norm, with lifestyle as the top level of consciousness to build a business extension, to meet the value of consumers on the specific dimensions of lifestyle.     3.3 Theme Planning Brands can combine the outdoor theme for activity and marketing planning, promote the dissemination and co-creation of related content, and cut into the outdoor boom in a lighter and faster way. Content leverages the momentum of the brand in products and services based on the concept of outdoor innovation inspiration, to help users enter a new lifestyle, to meet their needs for health, nature and exploration. This not only means new growth points, but also an important way for brands to build a deep emotional connection with their users.   Whether it's the BMW Owner's Salon's fly-fishing activity on an icy stream, Cabana's private garden special, or Uniqlo's “Queen's Roll”, all of these campaigns, though in different forms, are based on the perspective of the target audience, combining outdoor elements to form a creative idea for the main business and drive a closer link with users.   We suggest that “outdoor” is just a label for the industry, and “outdoor lifestyle” is where the commercial value of the brand should lie. Simply rubbing up against the outdoor trend will become a “victim” of shrinking demand, just as campgrounds are going out of fashion.   To create a brand in the dimension of lifestyle, it is more important to think holistically about the difference with the “single industry”, to go deeper into the user's life, to find out the meaning of outdoor for its unique features, and to explore the “life proposition” led by the brand, to lead the users belonging to the brand into the brand's life territory. Users, into the brand life territory.     Source: CloudOneDesign If there is any infringement, please contact to delete.

First, the chandelier Choose lamps need to consider the needs of different rooms and places, each choose the right type. Chandelier for the living room, dining room and other large spaces, play a dual role in lighting and decoration, the height of the design is very critical: dining table lamps and lanterns hanging height is recommended at 70-80cm or so, the appropriate height to ensure that we maintain a sitting position does not affect normal communication. Living room chandelier is higher than 2.1m for the most appropriate height. Omni-directional diffusion chandelier has a large light-emitting area, not easy to blinding advantages, at the same time can make people's sight upward extension, easier to notice the height of the ceiling. Shade type lampshade luminous direction downward, there is no residual light in the upper part, easy to make the ceiling appear dark, but also can be more concentrated lighting below the delicious food! Translucent lampshade is a combination of omni-directional diffusion type and shade type lampshade It is also a commonly used type of decorative lamps, which can meet the functional needs and solve the problem of ambience, the upward extension of light can visually increase the ceiling height, make the space more open in the vertical direction, and form a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. Linear chandelier gives the impression that it is often an office scene, but in fact, it can also be applied to the home scene, it is a perfect match for the long table, square table. Hanging lamps and lanterns should also pay attention to: avoid the sight range of glare, the normal attention of the human eye sight range is flat above 30 ° to below 60 °, in this range of blinding light, is glare. In addition, if the chandelier as the main source of light, the selected lamps and lanterns of the wattage of the space to be illuminated in proportion to the range. Large space can take a variety of lamps and lanterns together to create the atmosphere. Second, desk lamp Table lamps have the atmosphere to create, writing lighting and other roles, suitable for small dining room table atmosphere baking and office areas to read, study, work. Color temperature, height and brightness are important considerations in selecting a table lamp. When the color temperature is around 3000k, it is yellowish and dim for baking atmosphere, and when the color temperature is 5000k, it is bluish and blinding. According to “reading and writing desk lamp performance requirements” stipulates that 4000k is the most suitable for work and study light color temperature.

Third, wall lamps Wall lamps are commonly used in bedrooms, corridors and other long and narrow spaces, can provide a local light source, beautify the space, soft light to create an atmosphere as well as increase security. Wall lamps are commonly used in bedrooms, living rooms, corridors, hallways and foyers and other scenes, providing sufficient lighting while creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. Bedroom lamps and lanterns lighting is best to warm and warm yellow as the tone, corridor aisle to lighting as the main atmosphere as a supplement. General wall lamps should not be too bright, so as not to be harsh on the eyes and affect the sense of comfort. It is recommended to use soft, cozy light.

Shanghai Design Furniture Expo | She Designs: The Dreamweavers Behind Viral Furniture
Shanghai Design Furniture Expo | She Designs: The Dreamweavers Behind Viral Furniture
According to the Global Home Design Trends Report, female designers accounted for over 65% of the world’s TOP50 bestselling furniture pieces in 2024. This milestone not only signals growing gender equality in creative industries but also highlights how women are reshaping the future of home design with unique perspectives. The report further reveals that Scandinavia and the Asia-Pacific region are leading this movement—Scandinavia excels in blending minimalism with functionality, while Asia-Pacific emphasizes cultural storytelling and craftsmanship. Such regional diversity reflects the multifaceted expression of female designers in a globalized world. If you want to know more, welcome to Shanghai Design Furniture Expo!     Behind the viral furniture pieces flooding social media are women who transform cold materials into warm life narratives through keen insight and delicate creativity. They dismantle the rigid frameworks of industrial design, redefining the dimensions of “home” with color, form, and craftsmanship. When furniture becomes poetry of emotions, a chair can lift the soul’s lightness, and a lamp can ignite the imagination of living. Psychological studies indicate that home environments directly influence human emotions, and female designers, with their innate empathy, excel at conveying warmth and healing through design.     Human-Centered Design Philosophy Female designers often prioritize “human-centric” philosophies. For instance, while Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa proposed the “unconscious design” theory, women have expanded it into “warmth-infused unconsciousness.” Dutch designer Hella Jongerius’ Polder Sofa exemplifies this approach. Its modular design invites users to customize configurations, while its wool-linen blend fabric combines sustainability with tactile comfort. Jongerius states, “Furniture should not be cold objects but life companions that ‘grow’ with their users.”     From Pregnancy to Design: Faye Toogood’s Muse British designer Faye Toogood stands out among contemporary female creators. Her Roly Poly Chair, launched in 2014, became a global sensation, adored by interior bloggers worldwide. Toogood’s journey began with an art history degree from the University of Bristol, but she transcended theory. In 2008, she co-founded Studio Toogood with her sister Erica, exploring fashion, furniture, and spatial design to break disciplinary boundaries through “cross-domain storytelling.”     The Roly Poly Chair was inspired by Toogood’s pregnancy. She translated the fullness and vitality of life into design, giving the chair “sturdy” yet “voluptuous” legs that blend whimsy with warmth. Crafted from rotation-molded polyurethane, it balances durability and lightness, while its ochre, brick-red, and cream color options cater to diverse aesthetics. In 2021, an upgraded version using barium lithium crystal debuted at the Melbourne National Gallery of Victoria Triennial, pushing material innovation further.     In an interview with Frame magazine, Toogood remarked, “Some see a baby elephant; others see a 1960s pop chair.” This open interpretation epitomizes the chair’s charm—it is not just furniture but art that sparks emotional resonance.         Eastern Aesthetics and Female Power: The Rise of Chinese Designers In China, female designers are driving industry evolution with cultural confidence. For example, Yang Mingjie, creative director of Frank Chou Design Studio, merges traditional mortise-and-tenon joints with modern metal frames in the Suitcase Chair, honoring heritage while embracing industrial aesthetics. Yang notes, “Women excel in meticulous detailing and translating tradition into contemporary language.”     Another rising star is Taiwanese designer Pili Wu. Her Bubble Series, crafted from resin and fiberglass to mimic soap bubbles, explores the philosophy of “transience vs. eternity.” After debuting at Milan Design Week, it became an Instagram sensation, proving Eastern aesthetics’ global appeal.     Social Media: The Catalyst for Viral Furniture The explosion of viral furniture owes much to social media. In 2023, 70% of Instagram posts tagged #DesignInspiration featured home design, with 85% created by women. Bloggers use contextualized content—like “weekend reading nooks” or “balcony tea time”—to integrate furniture into lifestyle scenarios, fostering user engagement. This “soft sell” strategy not only boosts visibility but also cultivates a “design-as-lifestyle” consumer culture.     Yet, the trend has pitfalls. Some designers warn that prioritizing visuals over functionality may compromise longevity. Danish designer Cecilie Manz asserts, “True classics balance form and function, enduring beyond trends.”     The Future: Infinite Possibilities for Female Designers As sustainable design gains traction, women are pioneering eco-innovation. Swedish studio Front Design’s Animal Chair series uses 3D-printed recycled plastic to create biomorphic furniture, giving waste new life. Meanwhile, virtual reality (VR) offers new tools. South Korean designer Soohyun Lee simulates furniture under varying light conditions via VR, enabling “zero-prototype” design to cut costs.     Experts predict that in the next decade, female designers will lead in smart home technology and interdisciplinary collaboration. As Wallpaper editor Sarah Douglas notes, “Women are redefining ‘home’—it’s not just a space but a vessel for emotion and innovation.”       Source: Frame China   If there is any infringement, please contact to delete.

Classification by material Anti-fog mirror coating anti-fog mirror and electric anti-fog mirror two kinds of coating anti-fog mirror is through the coating of microporous to prevent the formation of fog layer; electric anti-fog mirror is through the electric heating to make the mirror surface temperature rises, rapid evaporation of fog. 4.Classification by shape and style Mainly oval, square, rectangle, round these kinds of main, oval, round for European style, Mediterranean style and other romantic and avant-garde bathroom decoration, square bath mirror in the visual effect is more subtle, more suitable for classical American, Chinese and other styles.   Second, the purchase of bathroom mirror tips 1. Appearance When choosing a bathroom mirror, you should observe the mirror from the front, side, reverse and other angles. Good mirror from the appearance of bubbles, debris, pressure points, glass defects, discoloration, yellow spots, cloud flaws, black spots, black edges and so on;   2.
