INTRODUCTION
FURNITURE
Furniture is the name given to all movable and some immovable accessories provided for
rooms or other areas of any structure from cottage to palace or religious edifice. It may be made
from a wide range of materials but wood and metals are usual. What is known about furniture
stretches back to the ancient Egyptian and progress with some breaks to the present day. During
these long span basic forms, such as the chair, table, cot and bed where evolved and passed on to
the succeed ding people and cultures for refinement and amplification. The steps of this
progression from the history of furniture design.
HISTORY OF FURNITURE
Modern furniture designs after world war first were of three kinds: - Functionalist
modern, Transitional modern and Commercial modern. The commercial modern becomeassociated with extra values which commercial furniture often offered by the manner in which it
was advertised. All furniture design was influenced by the social and economic trends of the era,
formal living standard declined, mechanization of house hold labor expanded. Living spaces
shrank, particularly in height and home entertainment become important.
After world war second especially people married at a younger age. Total population
growth accelerated and generally rising standard of living was enjoyed by a vastly enlarged
middle income group. Furniture became smaller, lighter, easier, to maintain and more widely
distributed.
The word furniture comes from the French word FORNITURE, which means
equipment. In most other European languages, however the corresponding word (German
Meoble, French Meoble, Spanish Meoble, Italian mobile) is derived from the Latin adjective
mobiles, meaning movable. The continental terms describe the intrinsic character of furniture
better than the English word. To be furniture it must be movable.
In general furniture produced in the last 5000 years has not under gone innovative
development in a profound sense. An Egyptian folding stool dating from about 1500 BE fulfils
the same functional requirement and possess the same basic features as a modern one. Only in
the mid 20th century with entirely new synthetic materials as plastic and completely new
fabrication techniques as such as casting have there be signs of a radical revision of the concept
of furniture.

INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
8/3/2019 Classy Original Attitude
3/65
Furniture industry In India has started growing in a vast manner. Furniture being a
necessity its need have risen to a large extend. Furniture industries have grown in the states of
Delhi, Mumbai, Kerala, Utter Pradesh and Tamilnadu. Now-a-days they have started developing
the industry and have more of premium product. Heavy competition is there in this field.
Furniture companies must look towards the important and potentially giant Indian
consumer markets since all world leaders in different industrials sectors have already established
their production in joint venture In India.
The approximate cost of timber per cubic feet comes around Rs 2500 for Rose
wood, Rs 2000 for Teak wood, Rs 750 for Mahagany and around 650 to 800 for others.
Malaysian Rose wood, African paddock etc is also available in the Indian market.
Indian indeed has a lot to offer to those furniture manufactures who wish to
establish their profitable business in the country for a very long period. Today Indian consumers
expect and demand for an outstanding quality both of furniture and consumer goods. The fast
growing industries are household appliance (white), food processing, furniture, air pollution
control equipment, cars, computers and telecommunication.
Since the furniture industry in India at the threshold of a big boom in the next
three year, its time for company to consider a serious business activity over there. Some
overseas companies have already set up their manufacturing units: Gautier (France) with Birla
Group of India in Chennai; Chateau dAx (Italy) in joint venture with Ace seating Pvt Ltd, in
New Delhi.
MARKET SIZE
Indias total population is near 1000 million people, of whom about 80 million
live in 8 metropolitan cities: Calcutta, Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Banglore,
Ahemedabad, and Pune. There are around 40 million consumers in the upper-middle class and
upper class.
Presently the Indian market size of furniture is about US$ 2 billion and almost
85% of total sales are realized in tidy workshops owned by carpenters. There are only a few
companies which manufactures and market brand furniture. Since furniture in India is still sold
mainly as a no-name product and consumers do not express any brand preference, there is a
tremendous sales potential for leading companies.

According to Infinitum Management Services, the household segment absorbs
65% manor local manufacturing companies are to be found more in the office furniture segment
rather than in home furniture.
Wood working machines come mainly from Germany, Italy, and Spain etc.
FURNITURE INDUSTRY IN THE WORLD
The reason for the success of Italian furniture industries is no raw materials, no
more currency devaluation. A comparatively high labor cost and still ranking no one in the world

companies must look towards the important and potentially giant Indian consumer market.
In China furniture distribution channels shows different pattern in comparison
with those used in western countries. Focus on Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
China: great vitality in the furniture sector. The impact of the Asian crisis did not stop China
from seeking greater efficiency in the furniture industry.
