FURNITURE DESIGN TREND THAT WILL SHAPE OUR FUTURE Four key takeaways in interior and furniture trends from Milan Design Week 2018 1. INTEGRATION OF MULTIPLE FUNCTIONALITY: Though it is not new to add more than one function in a product, this time I could find a wave of this concept throughout the exhibition. It is not easy to create products or designs with multiple functions in one unit. This challenge has probably tickled the minds of designers to try new ideas. I have spotted chairs with excellent acoustic barriers (Artikepo), a shower spotted that’s also a lamp (Fima Carlo Frattini), a bath that’s also a gym (Scavolini), a cabinet that’s also a speaker (Paulo Cappello) and so on... 2. WHY WASTE ANY WASTE: As awareness is growing, designers are searching for waste materials to use for designing meaningful things. Trashplast is plastic made from 100% waste. It is created by interlocking pieces of woodworking waste materials. 3. A MORE TECH-DRENCHED WORLD FOR SO-CALLED ‘BETTER EXPERIENCE’: Milan Design Week saw Google’s debut installation, ‘Softwear,’ an installation that showcased real-life connection with tech. Panasonic showcased ‘Air Inventions’ a huge ‘water-drop pavilion’ that showed their latest airconditioning technology, allowing visitors to experience the cleanest, purest air in Milan. Miele introduced the world first: the Miele Dialog oven and its innovative M Chef technology. 4. DESIGN AIDING FITNESS, WELLNESS AND GOOD LIVING: After wellness, which is continuing to rule the design domain, fitness has taken designers by storm. Last year I wrote about ‘Furniture that aids fitness’ and this year I saw Kengo Kuma’s giant spiralling air-purifying sculpture in the SuperStudio with the ability to absorb the emissions of 90,000 cars per year. It is called ‘breath/ng,’ 6 meters tall and has 120 hand-folded panels. This is the kind of design we need, and I deeply respect Kengo’s work. Similarly, young designers were seen showcasing products that aid fitness at work.

DOUGLAS FIR, the veRSAtILe SOFtwOOD FROm BRItISh COLUmBIA, CAnADA leave its natural colour exposed. If a different tone is required, Douglas fir is also known for holding all types of stains, finishes, and paints very well. It’s no secret that Douglas fir is a superior wood choice for interior doors as well. They add natural beauty to the interior design of any home, and come in a variety of styles to suit the decor of your choice. Available in styles with a single wood Douglas fir is one of the best known wood species in the world. In British Columbia there are two varieties of Douglas fir, Coastal and Interior. The Coastal variety occurs along the southern mainland Coast and across Vancouver Island, except for the very northern tip. The Interior variety is found throughout southern British Columbia, and as far north as the centre of the province. Douglas fir is primarily used for building and construction purposes due to its strength advantages and availability of large dimensions from old-growth trees. It is one of the finest timbers for heavy structural purposes, including laminated arches and roof trusses. Structurally, it is used in the form of lumber, timbers and plywood. It is seen as a first class wood for the manufacturing of sashes, doors and windows. The wood is also used to produce a wide variety of products including general millwork, flooring, furniture, cabinets, veneer and poles. In simpler terms, that means it’s tough and durable. It can handle a heavy load without bending or buckling. These are important considerations when you’re building a glulam beam structure or a pre-fab home. Let’s also talk about stability. Douglas fir is known for being very dimensionally stable - means that when it expands and contracts due to moisture in the environment (as all woods do), it holds its shape better than most species. Douglas fir also has a light, rosy colour that’s unique and differentso one can simply seal it with a clean finish and
panel to as many as six wood panels, every Douglas fir door we bring you is crafted with a vertical grain. FII India, funded by the government of British Columbia (B.C.), Canada represents Canadian wood in India for all its five species viz. Douglas fir, Western hemlock, Yellow cedar, Western red cedar and Spruce-pine-fir (SPF).FII India’s team helps to spread awareness, create brand visibility and educates the Indian market about certified lumber and other wood products from sustainably managed forests in B.C. working closely with architects, manufacturers, importers and real estate developers to provide technical and procurement assistance free of any cost.

HyDerabaD FurniTure May wiTness cHange aFTer MarkeT: Opening OF ikea sHOwrOOM!
Hyderabad furniture market is witnessing a change and leading the path having good growth in every segment of furniture in this city. With the opening of IKEA store in Hyderabad the local players are alert and calculating the pros and cons of this change. Furniture Design & Technology (FDT) visited Hyderabad recently and find out the supply and demand scenario and to know what will be the effect of IKEA in the regional furniture market like Hyderabad. A report!

Sep-Oct 2018
Hyderabad is over Rs. 1000 crore market for loose furniture. Currently market is going on good pace with increasing disposable income of middle class in the region. IKEA also has opened its store in Hyderabad recently. Is this good or bad for local players? In conversation with Furniture Design & Technology (FDT) Magazine the furniture manufacturers and traders say that there would be another
benchmark for sales in terms of pricing with the new entrants. They opined that people used to think that IKEA will be cheap, but the scenario is different. Many of the local traders observe that the Swedish furniture major has range of products with different price band. While some of the traders observe that the material offered by IKEA is not up the expectation of the people in the region i.e. a bed made of particle board
MARKET REPORT
and MDF is priced at Rs 25,000 at IKEA while a teak wood bed is available at Rs 40,000 in local market. The quality liking people do not like to have non-durable products. IKEA has range of products including home furnishing and decor materials which are worth appreciating but they lack on offering hardwood durable furniture. Secondly, their DIY (do it yourself) concept also will not attract customers of high end segment, says the local traders. But, the furniture with different concept with IKEA and traditional
manufacturing with local players will expand the horizon and customers’ base will increase resulting to have growth in the market benefiting all. There are around 50/60 big players in furniture and home decor segment in the city market places located at Banjara Hills, Jubli Hills, Gachibowli, Nampalli, Ameetpet, Hightech City, etc who have customers base of quality buyers in Hyderabad. Besides, Nampalli station road is one of the oldest furniture markets serving local people of all classes. These market places also
bear a number of manufacturing units (nearly 10,000 small and big) which are feeding them with finished goods. Most of the workers in this market are from out of Telangana like Bihar, UP, Odisha and Rajasthan. The market was a bit slow in rainy season but the players are hopeful to have a strong boost in sale with the beginning of festival seasons. It is also evident that furniture showrooms mushrooming at almost every city outskirts have also affected the local market sales.

INTERVIEW
Globally water based Coatings has been in lot of news especially since last decade due it its growing appeal of eco-friendly nature and lower volatile matter contents. However, real applications has been slower than what many anticipated mainly because of significantly higher cost compared to performance when compared to its solvent borne counterpart. Additionally in Water based Coatings, water need to be evaporated from coatings to form the film which has lower rate of evaporation compared to most of solvents as well as dependency upon climatic conditions making it less suitable for industrial production.
How much consumption is there, tell me about Wood Coating Industry in India? Wood Coating market in India is still at a nascent stage and its share compared to total Paint consumption is significantly lower than other Asian as well as developed countries. Global average of wood coatings as percentage of total coating business is about 8%, in China it is about 12% whereas in India it’s just about 3%. So India has lot of catch up, work to be done to achieve wood coating market share in line with its other global Peers. Indian Coating Industry currently stands out to be roughly Rs. 50,000
crore and wood coating business is about Rs 1,500 crore in this. Generally wood working favours countries with competitive labour force and that has been reason of Wood Coating market in Asian Countries presenting higher percentage compared to Global average. Considering this fact along with competitive and skilled Indian labour market, we could expect wood coating business to be growing faster than other coating segments in the time to come.
Which application enjoy the larger market share, and why? Indian Wood Coating market is still majority driven by retailers and
contractors in which it is difficult to differentiate leading application segments but in past one decade there has been growing trend of Industrialization where there has been trend of organized factories coming in segments like Door production. On other side we have market like Rajasthan and Western UP where there are sizable number of factories making solid furniture and handicrafts for exports. Looking at current market trend we think Door production could be one area where we could see higher number of organized factories in the time to come.
What is the latest trend in coating in international market vs. trend in India? Mature International market such as Europe can be divided into four parts: Polyurethane Coatings, UV cured, Water based and others which roughly account for 40%, 35%, 12% and 13% market shares. In recent years there has been growing market trend of water based coatings due to increasing government regulations on volatile matter emission as well as consumer preferences changing towards more eco-friendly products. In India market is still dominated with one component Lacquers and Melamine

Adhesive market is growing and new technologies are impending in with innovations where new machines, substrates and materials are being used in furniture’s and doors manufacturing. Our approaches to innovations are through upgrading within our products using new chemistry to build-in unique features and secondly closely work with customers/markets/carpenters and our dealers /distributors to make considerable changes according to their need/want gaps. The market is classified from premium to economy in furniture manufacturing segment, accordingly the demand of adhesive is there as per the consumers’ needs. We have to defend and grow our leadership position in the adhesive retail segment.
What changes happening in the industry is that, customers now started to demand the adhesive with their own specifications and adhesion with various materials, and the companies have started making products with their requirements. So, it is a good sign as more new products will come into market. Now-a-days people are not just behind the brands, they are ready to try and accept the new changes in the market and new brands as well if the product quality satisfies them. So it is ok with new development and we are ready to serve them. Earlier in this market some companies had a monopoly in several segments now customers are breaking the monopoly and that’s a good sign. We launched the Abro Zorrobond XP that have speed and fast curing and gives more coverage. The best water resistant adhesive Zorrobond WP that is for waterproofing and marine application. We have provided product for economy range also. As per the market requirements are coming up with two more products that is PVC Bond and HX Bond and that would be launched very soon this year.

Adhesive market in India is a huge and currently having a huge opportunity to grow supported with the revival of building construction industry and other segments we have just entered into it and are trying to build up our name as a supplier, gradually we will go into technical details. We have today clear glue which helps in achieving edge banding with perfection which do not reflect glue line after application. It has advantages that bonding and spread is more and gives larger coverage on the surface. We are importing from Unico, Italy and distributing it in the country. To calculate the growth in sales will be much earlier as we entered into the market, but we have braches everywhere in India which covers entire country.

Mr. Loan Athan, Glumart (Distributor of Akzonobel in India)
Being a distributor of AkzoNobel, we are giving EPI (Emeltion Polymer Isosainate) solutions offered by AkzoNobel which is suitable for solid wood and outdoor applications. It gives four hours drying time with all Japanese technology. India is very good market and we are catering carving export furniture industry and outdoor applications for glue in India.
Currently in woodworking segment Polygel stand at 15% market share in the industrial segment combining all modular & hardwood furniture and sofa manufacturers. We have already started to venture into retail. We are not planning to go aggressively in the retail but would definitely like to grow at 25% per year in this segment. We have more than 200 distributors across the country which can support us majorly to achieve the targeted growth. As by the end of this financial year we will be having 280 to 300 distributors in the retail segment only in the country. So by the next five year we will be giving a big challenge in retail adhesive market also.
Mr. Praveen Kumar, Polygel
Premium adhesive is growing but there is no movement in traditional or economical adhesive. That will take another three months to stabilise. Lower segment adhesive have been struggling for their existence and middle segment is somehow managing their activity with the help of banking financial support. These days customers asking for premium, converters asking for premium and we are also supplying for premium that is increasing.

biesse india Biesse India launched Rover K FT extremely compact and highperformance NC processing centre owing to the market demands enabling companies to accept the largest possible number of orders. This machine is coupled with the need to maintain high quality standards whilst offering product customisation with quick and reliable delivery times. The wide range of sizes available enables panels of all dimensions typical of nesting process to be machined, enabling customers to choose the machines that best meet their needs. It gives maximum panel security due to an advanced distributed vaccum system within the work table. This is an ideal solution for artisan producers and for small and medium-sized businesses which require flexibility and ease of use within a limited production space.
“This particular machine is used for panel like plywood, MDF, WPC etc sizing operations with minimum manpower uses. Customers using panel saw, they have to put three four manpower to work with. With this particular machine they can reduce the manpower for a particular demand of production. It precision will be higher and individual safety is there with this machine. Operator will not have any harm. This

decreased by nearly 10 percent as the industry is witnessing a lot of ups and downs with a lot of alternatives of wood products. Cutters demand is still there but some of the jobs have been shifted to CNC machines and some of them are being performed with manual operations. Panel saw machine will do their job with a little improvement as CNC panel saw. The cutter which is used in panel saw cannot be used in table saw. Applicaton of all different cutters are there but the consumption of
panel saw cutter has increased as the company is becoming high end so there is more consumption of panel saw,” Said Dhiman Chitlangia, Marketing, Woodcare Impex. He added that in terms of high speed pealing machine installation people are reducing their cost of production by replacing their traditional pealing machine. If we have a factory, it can be shifted to new technology but cannot be closed all of sudden with competition from advance technology.

The compressor needs to change their oil after stapling 4000
pins. Its demand is huge since most of the workstations either it is small or the larger one are opting it for numerous pneumatic tools. Those who are using pneumatic tools have some
hesitation initially but after installing they perform better and create volumes with better finishes,” said Mr Prakas Gole, Sales Representative, Kangaroo Industries Ltd.
