R&D background of teenagers and children’s furniture

With the improvement of the housing environment of modern people, many families now give their children a separate room when decorating their new homes, and the demand for furniture for teenagers and children is increasing. However, whether it is parents or the manufacturers of children’s furniture for teenagers, there are many misunderstandings in their understanding. According to some people in the industry, the market for children’s furniture for teenagers is still immature. Compared with the plethora of pine furniture for adults, there are very few children’s furniture. There is such a problem in reality: children grow up fast, and their body size changes greatly. The original size of children’s furniture for teenagers can no longer meet the needs of their rapid body growth. For ordinary families, it is impossible and unnecessary to replace a set of pine furniture for children within a year or two or even a few months, causing unnecessary waste. However, having your own living space and using special pine furniture is very beneficial for children to develop good living habits and independent personality. The child’s body is in the stage of rapid growth and development, and pine furniture with appropriate dimensions is conducive to the normal development of the body. Therefore, the development of furniture for teenagers and children is imminent.

As a branch of modern pine furniture, “juvenile and children’s furniture” has begun to receive more and more attention. The term “children” in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child refers to “anyone under the age of 18, unless the applicable law stipulates that the age of majority is less than 18 years old.” Therefore, “juvenile children’s furniture” can be interpreted as adapting A class of appliances that meet the functional needs of children’s life, entertainment, and learning with their psychological and physiological characteristics for children aged 0 to 18. It mainly includes children’s beds, children’s tables, children’s chairs, bookshelves, children’s wardrobes and toy cabinets, etc. It should also include some auxiliary utensils that coordinate with pine furniture, such as CD racks, newspaper racks, trolleys, step stools, and hangers. And some pendants, decorations, etc. The total number of children in the world is currently around 139.5 million. In my country, there are more than 300 million children, of which 171 million are under the age of 6, and 171 million are between the ages of 7 and 16, accounting for a quarter of the country’s population, and only children account for 34% of the total number of children. In this sensitive market, changes in consumer demand can best reflect the development trend of the market.

The same is true for Chinese youth and children’s furniture. With the changing needs of consumers, China’s teenage and children’s furniture has followed suit, and the consumption of teenage and children’s furniture has gradually heated up: According to incomplete statistics, the sales of teenage and children’s furniture have accounted for 18% of the total sales of pine furniture. The per capita consumption is about 60 yuan. Most pine furniture products basically have slightly different appearances, but many board-type children’s furniture have single internal functions and too bright colors, which do not conform to the scientific and applicable principles of colors. They only pay attention to the visual impact of colors, and do not understand the harm of colors to people. sex, especially adverse effects on children’s vision and neurodevelopment, as well as mood. Styling has been emphasized in design, while safety and convenience have been neglected.
