Looking at the five major trends of the global cabinet industry from the Milan show

The 2010 Milan International Furniture Fair was staged in April. More than 2,000 furniture companies and design agencies from all over the world participated in the show, presenting the world’s most avant-garde products and designs to the world, including many well-known cabinet brands. A new round of global furniture fashion boom. Through the overall analysis of the products exhibited at the 2010 Milan exhibition cabinet, we can clearly see the five major trends in the world cabinet industry in 2010.

Trend 1: elegant white tone design style into the protagonist looking at the entire cabinet exhibition halls are white tone as the main style, white tone occupy about 70% of exhibited products. The white tone design style is adopted, and the inner and outer colors are unified, making the whole more harmonious and closer to life. The white tone design of the new product appears in white with a retro look, showing a modern, elegant temperament, breaking the form of modernism and decorative techniques, focusing on the alignment of lines, color coordination and style interpretation, emphasis on patterning, the pursuit of Visual tension. This style draws the concept of other arts or natural sciences in the composition of the styling design, and presents the traditional components in the new home environment through re-combination. The quest for harmonious color performance is even more pursued. The unassuming beauty is full of warmth. Extravagant, quiet and intoxicating. Jingyi's white is the absolute protagonist of this style, without complicatedness, no distractions, and no extra disputes of fame and fortune. Everything in white, with simple and contrasting colors and accessories, there is no lack of elegance in the elegant, there is no lack of extravagance in nature, simple and profound. The simplicity shown in this style is a higher level of quality of life. It is by no means an attitude of perfunctory and perfunctory life and lack of attention to quality of life. In such a space, no particular fancy renovations will be carried out, refusing to dazzle the accessories, abandoning the decoration of carvings, decorations, etc. The minimalist kitchen furniture will be neat and elegant. Although the new products displayed this time are mainly white, the proper contrasting colors have played a role in enriching the space with the best posture and will not make people feel a hint of paleness.

[Comment]: The modern people have suffered too much pressure and need to make the impetuous mood to be even. Therefore, Chinese consumers call for simple and pure products that do not have to be decorated with whitewash and can withstand the years of aging. The perfect unity of individual senses and social emotions. This style of design products for fashion, elegant, lifestyle-oriented consumer groups, such as literature and art, education, people. This design concept was demonstrated well in the last year in June by Divoli's cabinet products. The first time in the country, the entire product exhibition hall has adopted elegant white tone design for the first time in the country, which coincides with the cabinet fashion trend of this year's Milan show, and also proves that this style is also favored by the Chinese consumer groups.

Trend 2: Kitchen appliance integration In recent years, the domestic market has been discussing the concept of “kitchen and electricity integration”. This concept is actually just a new mode of home appliance sales, namely, kitchen appliances integrated configuration solutions rather than real significance. Kitchen integrated design concept. From the Milan show, the kitchen appliances integrated configuration solution has been replaced by a new concept. The kitchen products displayed at this exhibition have been customized, and the concept of “kitchen and electricity integration” demonstrated by the products has evolved to design cabinets and appliances as a whole product through high-tech means or other processes. It is no longer two products. Simple combination.

[Comment]: I think this concept is worth learning and learning from the whole cabinet industry in China. With the constant change of people's consumption concept, simple cabinet matching products can no longer meet the high quality of life of consumers. The integration of kitchen cabinets and electric appliances is increasingly supported by consumers. How to integrate sinks, dishwashing cabinets, range hoods, ovens, disinfecting cabinets, sewage and waste disposers, and air circulation equipment into the overall design of cabinets has become the direction in which Divoli and other cabinet companies will strive to develop in the future. The trend is already unstoppable.

Trend 3: Paying more attention to details and incorporating the previous Milan exhibition. Exhibitors pay more attention to appearance design, but this year's products pay more attention to internal design and details. For example, some products with impact appearance may appear to be too simplistic. In fact, the storage space for the internal drawer of the product is very scientific and reasonable, which effectively expands the utilization rate of the internal space of the cabinet. In addition, intelligent support can enable users to adjust the size of the drawer space according to the actual use, so that the cabinet products are stored in an orderly and flexible manner.

[Comment]: As Chinese people are more dependent on the kitchen, many consumers believe that the current domestic kitchen product storage space is difficult to achieve the desired requirements. How to effectively expand the storage space of the kitchen? Under the guidance of the "pragmatism" design concept of Danish homes, Divoli has also continued to explore in this area, and has introduced a series of "small kitchens, large functions" products with large storage capacity. Under the precondition of limited kitchen space, cabinets with high storage space will have an advantage in the future market competition.

Trend 4: Kitchen intelligent function innovation and intelligent design have become the main direction of domestic and foreign cabinet manufacturers R&D and design, and kitchen intelligentization will also be the inevitable choice for future cabinet industry. From this year's Milan show, many exhibitors use electric induction technology, and their level of intelligence has greatly improved over the past. These smart products, regardless of the width and width of the drawers, can be automatically opened with just a touch or a pull to achieve a veritable “touch-and-go” effect. In addition, the sliding doors in the cabinet are mostly designed for automatic opening and returning, which makes the cabinet products more humane. Even if the user holds the items in both hands, the user can control it freely and is safe and reliable. In addition, some of the exhibited products can be lifted and lowered, and can even be received in the cabinet; the stove can be lifted or pushed and pulled, the refrigerator can be embedded in the wall to save space; the range hood is no longer a traditional model, but can be based on the room The overall style, with different designs. What is even more surprising is that these range hoods have no flue. After the smoke is sucked in, they can be disposed inside the machine.

[Comments]: Intelligentization has become an inevitable trend for modern people to improve their home environment and quality of life. Modern kitchens that emphasize personality, taste, and comfort are naturally inseparable from intelligent equipment. For example, the kitchen can be freely retractable corner basket, kitchen drawer pull basket, multiple folding basket, folding kitchen LCD TV, microcomputer-controlled automatic cabinet drawer, and many have touch screen, electronic remote control and other functions of the kitchen Electrical appliances have become important accessories for smart kitchens. These intelligent designs not only greatly increase the space utilization, but also make it more convenient to use. Therefore, Divo's products will pay more attention to the organic combination of ergonomics and cabinet products in the future design, effectively integrating hardware appliances and network intelligence.

Trend 5: The use of lighting in the kitchen is not only for lighting but also creates a warm and romantic atmosphere for the family. In addition to the traditional lighting, the lighting of the cabinets displayed at the 2010 Milan Exhibition is more humane in design. The LED energy-saving lamps are widely used in the products. As long as the drawer or cabinet door is opened, the lights inside will be on. Users access things, but also more power. In particular, lighting designs with different angles can coordinate lighting according to different stations of the user, and the light has times and times. The sense of space and cooking pleasure of the entire kitchen is thus enhanced.

[Comments]: In the past, the kitchen gave everyone the impression that it was dirty, messy, and poor, and it was relatively damp and dark, but the reasonable use of lights made the kitchen a comfortable space for visual enjoyment. At present, some well-known brands in domestic cabinet companies have begun to pay attention to the use of lights in the entire product design and product display. For example, Dili has already done some lighting design attempts on some high-end series products, through different colors of lighting, The use of light and shade not only adds to the practicality of the cabinet, but also increases the beauty of the product.
