1.1 Homogenization

In addition to the furniture industry, various industries, there is now a **** the same trend: homogenization. The degree of product differentiation is becoming smaller and smaller, the time of differentiation is also more and more limited, so that there are different furniture factories in the same period of time can have the same style, the same style, the same color of the product, and even some manufacturers and even the image of the packaging are like twins. This phenomenon is particularly prominent in the Chinese market.

1.2 Export enterprises into the

From the furniture since the anti-dumping, coupled with the financial crisis in the previous two years, such as the impact of the export of furniture enterprises is very obvious. Manufacturers quickly realized that we can not rely entirely on foreign sales, to foreign sales and domestic sales, so in the past two years began to develop the domestic furniture market, began furniture design, image packaging, marketing planning, participation in exhibitions and a series of activities. As a result, the furniture market in China suddenly all of a sudden within a lot of brands, resulting in increased space on the market furniture, people's brand concept is blurred, so to strengthen the brand concept, strengthen the brand characteristics, it is particularly important.

2. The current situation of foreign furniture industry

2.1 Adhere to the original design

Since the European Renaissance, Europe and the United States of America's culture has been booming, and to this day, Europe and the United States of America's culture is characterized by rationality.

They generally believe that "beauty is produced by the visual, auditory pleasure", therefore, in the furniture design, the pursuit of uniqueness of appearance, focus on the expression of self-feeling, pay attention to humanization and original value. Europe and the United States furniture companies are mostly original to drive the market to brand power to win the competitive advantage, and this is exactly what China's furniture industry is missing.

2.2 Geographical characteristics are obvious

In the period of industrial civilization, Europe and the United States industrial development is more mature, the material civilization has been increased unprecedentedly. Consumption has become a part of people's lives, in this context, furniture design has also been a certain development. Europe and the United States due to national characteristics, customs, geography, climate, production skills and other different environmental impact, foreign furniture has formed a unique, distinctive regional characteristics.

3.Trends in Furniture Design

3.1 Green Design

3.1.1 Eco-protection and Green Design Green design, also known as eco-design, is based on human reflection on the destruction of ecology in the process of industrialization. Industrialization makes the natural environment in constant deterioration. The modernization of the urban process has destroyed the historical monuments and destroyed the long established humanistic memories, and the improvement of material life has paid a heavy price of destroying the continuation of culture. Protecting the natural and humanistic environment is an important part of green design. Furniture design in the improvement of human living environment at the same time, but also accelerate the consumption of resources, the ecological balance of the earth has caused great damage. In particular, the excessive commercialization of design has made furniture design an important medium for encouraging people to consume without restraint.

Cardboard, wood, steel and other recyclable materials become the protagonists of the design, and the designers interpret the mood of the eco-home in a new way, giving a comfortable and natural original ecological world.

On the standard of green furniture, as early as 1994, Scandinavia issued the first green furniture standard, "Wooden furniture and furniture setup ecological standards". This Scandinavian standard focuses on limiting the environmentally harmful chemical components that may be present in the raw materials of furniture, and secondly, on the protection of forest ecological resources, which also puts forward preliminary requirements.

As the furniture is closely related to people's lives, its environment and people form an inseparable relationship. Comfortable and healthy is the consumer requirements for furniture, and environmental protection and green is the environment of the new requirements put forward by the furniture. In recent years, with the continuous emergence of environmental problems, people's desire for green furniture is also more and more strong. A furniture product is not qualified, whether in line with the green design will be its primary consideration.
