The office furniture industry is now forming an obvious cluster effect
In recent years, the accelerated development of my country's urbanization process and the continuous expansion of the sales area of commercial housing, especially office buildings, have brought broad demand for my country's office furniture industry, which has promoted the increase in output of the office furniture industry, product design innovation and quality improvement, and industrial clustering. The well-developed competitive landscape has also strongly promoted the development of the office furniture manufacturing industry. At present, my country's office furniture manufacturing industry has formed five industrial clusters in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, Bohai Rim, Northeast and West.
The supply and demand of office furniture is relatively large
In terms of office furniture supply, the output value of China's office furniture accounted for more than 30% of the overall furniture output value in 2007. In recent years, with the development of the office furniture industry, the growth rate of the number of office furniture enterprises is faster than that of the number of enterprises in the furniture industry. From this, it can be inferred that the proportion of my country's future office furniture output value in the overall furniture output value is rising. In 2020, the sales area of commercial housing in my country will be 1,760.86 million square meters, an increase of 2.6% over the previous year, while the newly started area of office buildings will decrease slightly to 66.04 million square meters, a year-on-year decrease of 6.80%; combined with the macroeconomic situation in 2020 and the office furniture industry According to the development trend in recent years, it is preliminarily estimated that the proportion of my country's office furniture output to furniture output will be slightly lowered in 2020, and the total output will be about 374.01 million pieces.
In terms of market demand, with the acceleration of China's internationalization process, office buildings have sprung up in first- and second-tier cities in recent years, which has promoted the development of my country's office furniture market. With the rapid development of smart buildings and the establishment of high-end office buildings, the demand for office furniture is increasing, and the demand for mid-to-high-end office furniture is also increasing. According to statistical information, from 2014 to 2020, the operating income of my country's office furniture industry showed a continuous growth trend, with a compound annual growth rate of about 8.87%. In 2020, the operating income of my country's office furniture industry will be about 84.239 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.11%.
Office furniture market still has room for improvement
On the demand side, with the rapid development of China's economic construction, banks, securities, schools, hospitals, and enterprises and institutions continue to expand, and office conditions continue to improve. The demand for comfortable office furniture will continue to increase. At the same time, with the acceleration of my country's internationalization process, foreign companies will set up offices or workplaces in China one after another, and there is a large demand for office furniture. In the future, office furniture with unique design and craftsmanship, green environmental protection, intelligent manufacturing, and intelligent office will continue to emerge. In the next five years, the sales revenue of my country's office furniture industry will show a growing trend with the advancement of technology. According to the compound growth rate, the market size of my country's office furniture industry will grow to 118.3 billion yuan by 2026.
How to design a good office chair
The design of office chairs should start from the actual use value. The design focuses on the rationality of the structure, emphasizing the perfection and optimization of functions. Due to the characteristics of rationality and exposed structure, the seat can be truly adapted to the physiological characteristics of people. The design should be based on the principles of ergonomics and anthropometric measurements, focusing on humanization and improving the comfort of the seat.
The relationship between the seat and the human body
1. The vertical distance from the front edge of the seat to the ground is called the seat height. The seat height is one of the main factors affecting the comfort of the sitting posture. Unreasonable seat height will affect the sitting posture of the person, and the waist is prone to fatigue. Disk and other diseases. Part of the body pressure of the human body is distributed on the legs. If the seat is too high, the legs will not touch the ground, which will compress the blood vessels in the thighs and affect the blood circulation. If the seat is too low, the knee joints will arch upwards. Body pressure will be concentrated in the upper body of the human body. And a reasonable seat height, according to the principles of ergonomics, should be: seat height = calf + foot height + shoe thickness - appropriate space, the interval is 43-53 cm.
2. The distance from the front edge of the seat to the rear edge becomes the seat depth. The depth of the seat surface is related to whether the back of the human body can be attached to the back of the seat. If the seat surface is too deep, the support point of the human body’s back will be suspended, resulting in numbness of the calf. If the backlog is accumulated on the calf, the fatigue of the human body will be accelerated. According to ergonomic research, the seat depth range is 39.5-46cm.
3. When the staff is in a sitting position, the two ischial tuberosities under the pelvis of the human body are close to the level. If the sitting surface angle is not designed properly and presents a bucket shape, the femur will rotate upwards, and the hip muscles may feel oppressed. feel uncomfortable. The width of the seat surface is set by the size of the human hip plus the appropriate range of motion, so the design of the seat surface should be as wide as possible. According to different human body sizes, when designing the width of the seat surface, the seat width range is 46-50cm.
4.The design of the armrest can reduce the burden on the arm, so that the muscles of the upper limbs can rest better. When the human body gets up or changes posture, it can support the body and help the body maintain balance. However, the height of the armrest should be reasonably designed, and the armrest is too high or too low. It will cause arm fatigue. According to ergonomic research, the height of the armrest is related to the distance from the seat surface. Controlling the distance within 19cm-25cm can meet the needs of most workers. The angle of the front side of the armrest also changes with the angle of the seat surface and the angle of the backrest.
An ideal office seat should be based on the anthropometric size, and the seat should be designed strictly according to ergonomics, so that employees will not feel physically and mentally exhausted even if they work a lot for a long time, and reduce the diseases caused by discomfort in sitting posture, so that the work more quickly and efficiently. The modeling principle should meet the use requirements of office chairs, and only the key points of human comfort need to be designed according to ergonomics.
The rapid development of the market economy of office chairs has led to changes in the needs of consumers, and their attention to products has also shifted from the original basic needs to a more in-depth design level. Furniture is closely related to people. In addition to considering important factors such as health and comfort, its design needs to respond more to consumers' demands for beauty, and convey it through the shape, material or color of the furniture. Taking the office chair component as the research object, using the basic principles and methods to analyze the relationship between the elements of the current office chair shape design, so as to construct the guiding rules for the shape design of the office chair, so as to help solve the design elements that are difficult to grasp in the process of office chair design .
Office chairs are basically composed of nine parts: headrest, chair back, armrests, lumbar support, seat, chassis, air rod, five-star feet, and casters. The basic function of a chair is to support the user's body during work or rest, while an office chair requires that it can be used in both states of work and rest. Therefore, the office chair has tilting and lifting functions to meet this requirement.
The lifting of the office chair is realized by the air rod, and the tilting function is realized by the tilting mechanism of the tray. In different working environments, the adjustment of the back angle of the office chair can help the user improve the posture of the back to reduce the pressure on the back. The office chair can adjust the forward tilt angle to match the user's physical activities to provide a correct sitting posture, which can reduce the pressure on the user's legs.
The seat can also be locked forward. Assuming that the user's work requires long-term use of the computer, locking the seat forward can help the lower back to move at a greater angle and reduce the pressure on the spine. The sliding of the chair wheels can help the user quickly move within an appropriate range, facilitating the dragging of the chair and the adjustment of the seat.
As an office worker, high-end office chairs can be said to be our close partners, which can improve comfort and work efficiency. Whether we are at home or in the company, most of us work in front of the computer for more than 8 hours. When working, most people lean their heads forward, arch their backs and slump their shoulders. This sitting posture actually affects their health very much. Therefore, in addition to maintaining the correct sitting posture, it is equally important to choose a good office chair. Choose a chair that conforms to the curve of the human body and can fully support every part of our body during work. An important reason why office chairs represented by Leno Furniture can allow office workers to have a comfortable working state for 8 hours is that users can adjust every part by themselves, from seat depth, chair back angle to lumbar support height, The position of the armrests can be adjusted according to your height, weight and back curve. How can such a tailor-made "custom chair" be uncomfortable?
