From inviting carpenters to knock to the factory tailor-made, telling about the changes in furniture

From inviting a carpenter to strike at random to making a factory tailor-made

The 30-year history of furniture in the eyes of Lao Li

  Li Xiquan, a 70-year-old Beijing resident, still has a special love for furniture. In his old house in his northeastern homeland, there is still an old Kangqin (Northeast dialect, meaning Kang cabinet). The good carpenter spent half a year beating his son's daughter-in-law. Today, their new homes in Beijing with their children and grandchildren are all replaced with contemporary and fashionable furniture. This old furniture stayed in the old house desolately, and every time he saw it, old Li was filled with emotion: from asking a carpenter to work hard to make furniture, now he can choose the furniture in the store as he likes, and even enjoy the furniture. "Meticulous" door-to-door service, in the past 30 years, changes in furniture can be described as ever-changing.

Before 1978

Son should get a carpenter before getting married

"It was difficult to make a few decent pieces of furniture at that time. I could n’t get the wood. I had to secretly go down to the mountain to pick a few thick pine or poplar trees, cut them down and put them in the corner of the yard for about half a year. The carpenters in the two towns came home to do it. It took half a month for the two carpenters to work overtime to make a kangqin. "

In the spring of 1978, the veteran craftsmen in Beijing Tiantan Furniture Factory still held the unique skills in their hands as before, producing precious furniture that could only be purchased by ticket and used by a few people. Outside the furniture factory, another group of carpenters who have eaten by craftsmanship and produced furniture for most people has quietly emerged. They either go out of the house to take the initiative to find a living, or wait for the middle class to come to the door, a tool pocket, with a saw, adze, riveting Child, fader, planer, hammer and ruler, you can play cupboards, standing cabinets, kangqin, counter cabinets and piano combination cabinets.

In order to buy some decent wedding supplies for his son and daughter-in-law, the old Li who had played furniture also invited a professional carpenter. He said that it was difficult to make some decent pieces of furniture at that time. He could not get the wood. He had to secretly go to the mountain to pick a few strong pine or poplar trees, cut them down, and put them in the corner of the yard to dry for about half a year. Then please Carpenters in one or two towns come home to do it. It takes half a month for two carpenters to work overtime to make a kangqin. In towns or villages, many people make furniture such as chairs, tables, cupboards, stand cabinets, etc. by carpenters. A patient carpenter can follow the outline of the furniture drawn by the employer, and a carpenter with a bad temper will do it according to his own experience, no matter what you want. At that time, furniture design did not seem to exist at all, all based on the experience of the artist.

While carpenters walked the streets with their tool pockets, old factories like Tiantan Furniture Factory and carpenter's houses or carousel factories everywhere also produced furniture as always, but these furniture are mostly supplied to schools, hospitals, institutions, etc. Ordinary people have difficulty and no money to buy these "regular" furniture.

"It can be said that (in the 1970s) at that time, ordinary people had to rely on carpenters to make furniture. Among ordinary people, carpenters had plenty of money." Lao Li said.

1978-mid-to-late 1980s

"Mountain people" walking out of the mountains

"At that time I was working in a grain store in my hometown. Not far from the grain store was a public carousel factory that was shut down. Later, a carpenter from the mountain rented one of the places to start a furniture workshop. Gradually, there were more furniture stores. When they got up, the small furniture owners turned the original carousel into a local furniture production area. "

The furniture factory that took shape early was formed in the middle and late 1980s. A group of capable carpenters walked into the city from the mountain. At first, they only went to one household to make a piece of furniture. They slowly started renting land, taking apprentices, buying some power tools, and producing multiple pieces of furniture at the same time. With their own small furniture The factory eventually built a furniture store in front of the factory. Private furniture factories that have begun to take shape began to operate furniture products in this self-produced, self-sales, "front store, back factory" model. The prototype of China's contemporary furniture industry was also bred from that period. It is often said that the people who started the furniture are some "mountain people". It is a bit exaggerated to say that they are terrible. In fact, the word "terrible" is used here more to praise, saying that it is precisely these Shanli people have completed the transformation of Chinese furniture from individual hand-made to small workshop-style production.

From finding a carpenter to make furniture to going to a furniture store to buy furniture, the transformation of the way people own furniture has taken about five years. Lao Li recalled that at that time he was working in a grain depot in his hometown. Not far from the grain depot was a public carousel factory that was shut down. Later, a carpenter from the mountain rented one of the places to start a furniture workshop, and gradually, With more furniture stores, small furniture owners turned the original carousel into a local furniture production area. In the mid-to-late 1980s, furniture companies that “before the shop and after the factory” are not worried about sales. As long as you can make furniture, someone will buy it. The furniture in the shop is just what it looks like. The furniture factory does not need a warehouse at all. As soon as the furniture is ready, someone will pick up the goods, and the workers can complete the customer's order after working overtime. In the words of Lao Li, at that time, when the living standard was good, everyone had a little money at home. It is not difficult to buy furniture to improve the living environment. The difficulty is that there are not many companies that can produce furniture.

Despite not worrying about sales, furniture companies are still very marketing minded. In the late 1980s, when we opened the newspapers at that time, we often saw information about the large-scale exhibition and ordering of XX furniture factory held in XX exhibition hall, various kinds of furniture, 600-1700 yuan and so on. Hot promotional advertisements recorded China The rapid development of the furniture industry.

At this time, it is no longer a dream and an extravagance for people to want to own a set of Tiantan furniture. Local furniture factories and private furniture factories are basically on the same starting line. According to Mr. Li, the companies that could afford the trade fair were not only state-owned enterprises, but also some private companies. Consumers who purchase furniture do not consider state-owned private companies when buying furniture. As long as things are good, someone will scramble to buy them.

Late 1980s-late 90s

Enter the department store to choose furniture

"After moving to Beijing, I often traveled to Qianmen, Xidan, etc., and I saw that furniture stores opened one after another. I thought this would be better, and I no longer need to invite a carpenter to come to my house to make it now. The Baxian table and wardrobe in my house are I bought it at that time. "

In the 1980s, while furniture companies were holding hot exhibitions and thinking about making terminals, furniture stores appeared in department stores. However, these furniture monopoly areas usually have an area of ​​only two or three hundred square meters, which is far from meeting the demand for furniture display, and only relatively strong local enterprises can enter the department store. The furniture style is relatively simple and cannot meet consumer demand. At this time, people already had the demand for "choice" purchases, unlike 5 years ago, they were worried about buying or selling.

In the late 1980s, Lao Li and his son moved to Beijing's North Taipingzhuang area. He often had a soft spot for furniture. He often went to Qianmen, Xidan and other places to watch a furniture store open one after another. Lao lamented: " However, in 10 years, I do n’t have to hire a carpenter to buy a decent piece of furniture. Now I bought the Eight Immortals tables and wardrobes in my house at that time. "The formation of the" market "of furniture meets the shopping needs of ordinary people. There are usually many furniture stores, even furniture factories, which are still the business model of the shop before the factory. Such as Xisi, Dongsi, Xidan, Qianmen in Beijing, Bayi Square in Chengdu, Lecong and Longjiang in Shunde. Due to the structural adjustment of the European and American furniture industries and the establishment of furniture OEM processing enterprises in Guangdong, China in the 1990s, the level of Guangdong furniture manufacturing has suddenly increased, and it has also driven the furniture industry in Sichuan, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Shandong, Beijing, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang and other places development of. In the past few years, furniture companies across the country have introduced imported equipment on a large scale, established furniture production lines, imitated foreign furniture design, and learned the management techniques of foreign furniture production enterprises. This has led to a qualitative leap in the development of China's furniture industry and gradually differentiated into domestic and export , Three types of furniture enterprises combining internal and external furniture.

Along with this is that furniture products are extremely rich, and enterprises with domestic sales business urgently need to establish a separate production and sales management system, and there is an urgent need for sales terminals. In the 1990s, furniture stores in major and medium-sized cities sprang up like mushrooms, and furniture in Guangdong, Sichuan, Shandong, and Northeast regions were generally sold throughout the country.

Into the new century

Furniture goes back to "tailor-made"

"Don't dare to visit the furniture city now, I can't choose it for a few days. There are too many styles, whichever is better, I can't see it at all."

In the new century, the furniture seems to be coated with gold. Walking in the magnificent home furnishing store, looking at the beautifully furnished furniture exhibition hall, and touching the elaborately designed furniture, Lao Li admired straight "angry": "All the good things make you young catch up." With Lao Li's Feeling different, furniture manufacturers complained: consumers in the new era are not good at serving. European-style, American-style, classical Chinese-style, modern new-Chinese-style, and simple-style furniture on the market have attracted consumers' attention; plate, solid wood, rattan, iron, glass, stone, software The furniture of various materials makes consumers even more inaccessible.

At a time when furniture styles and materials are becoming more and more abundant and the furniture market is approaching saturation, furniture dealers have embarked on the road of branding. The first batch of furniture brands such as Red Apple, Dynasty, Quanyou Furniture, Shuanghu, Meikemeijia, etc. that began advertising in international and local media are now widely known; followed by Jianwei, CITIC, Yifeng, Furniture such as Baiqiang and Split also gradually entered the people's field of vision. In addition to establishing brand awareness through advertising, many furniture brands also choose to attract consumers and attract repeat customers through user-friendly services.

When it comes to humanized services, we have to pay attention to a relatively special market in the national furniture market-Beijing furniture market, the start time is not too late, the size of the enterprise is not small, and the production technology is not backward, but it has never walked out of a domestic The brand makes many furniture managers in Beijing feel ashamed. However, foreign brands wanting to enter Beijing have never been able to gain a foothold. Maybe it's stained with "Jing Zuo'er" furniture, maybe
