How We Design a New Piece of Furniture
Furniture design is both an art and a science. At Yijin Furniture, every new product undergoes a complete design and development process to ensure it meets market trends, customer needs, and international quality standards. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at how we create furniture from scratch.
1. Market Research & Trend Analysis
Before designing, our team studies global trends, lifestyle changes, color palettes, materials, and competitor products. This ensures our designs remain modern and competitive.
Key research areas:
- Popular colors for the upcoming year
- Furniture styles trending in Europe & the US
- Consumer preferences in small-space living
- Material sustainability trends
2. Concept Development
Our designers create multiple concept sketches based on market data. These early drawings explore shapes, proportions, materials, and functional concepts.
Goals during concept phase:
- Identify modern, appealing silhouettes
- Ensure ergonomic comfort
- Balance aesthetics with practicality
3. 3D Modeling & Technical Drawings
Once a concept is approved, it moves to 3D modeling. Our designers use CAD software to create accurate structures, calculate dimensions, and optimize materials.
Benefits of 3D design:
- Visualizing the product from all angles
- Ensuring structural safety
- Preparing for mass production
4. Material Selection
We carefully choose materials based on durability, cost, sustainability, and visual appeal. Because Yijin Furniture controls raw material processing in-house, we guarantee consistent quality.
Common materials:
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Fabric and leather
- Metal hardware
5. Prototype Development
Our engineers build a physical prototype to test real-world performance. This stage reveals structural issues, comfort concerns, or visual adjustments needed.
6. Testing & Improvement
We test the prototype for stability, load-bearing capacity, joint durability, and surface quality. Adjustments are made until the product meets international standards.
7. Ready for Production
After multiple rounds of refinements, the design is approved for mass production. At this stage, materials are prepared, molds are made, and the production schedule is finalized.
Conclusion
Designing a piece of furniture requires creativity, engineering, and precise control. With our professional team and 10+ years of manufacturing experience, Yijin Furniture ensures that every new product is modern, durable, and market-ready.
