Like so much else in the world, the furniture manufacturing industry has grown and diversified exponentially, driven by ever-increasing demands for specific products or groups of products that are designed and made for numerous special purposes and applications, as required by people with varying needs, preferences and specifications.
For example, a table is no longer necessarily just that – a flat horizontal section of material, supported by a frame and elevated by four legs of equal length. It is a functional item that provides practical solutions when one uses its surface to perform various actions and tasks, making such tasks easier.
A table may function as a simple piece of kitchen furniture that provides an additional working surface, or it could be manufactured for use as an ornately finished dining unit, where meals are served and enjoyed.
The ubiquitous table may be destined for a grand boardroom, or merely function as a handy, level, stable type of raised platform upon which to place a cup of tea or coffee or a glass of wine, lest the liquid be spilt accidentally between occasional delicate sips.
The same applies to desks, chairs, couches, storage units, modular seating options, rugs and carpets, window coverings, accessories and décor elements. You can find almost all these items in a home, hotel, medical practitioner’s office, government building and corporate office. Broadly and collectively, they’re all called “furniture”.
Diversification of customer demand in this overall furniture market has created diverse or niche design, manufacturing, supply and retail industries. Because there are so many different furniture types and styles, it’s virtually impossible for one or a few to manufacture pieces that comply with all or even most preferences, hence manufacturers tend to specialise in what they produce.
