In general, furniture can be
classified either by material (wooden, metal and
others) or by usage (for office, household or common
use). The manufacturing of metal furniture
dates back to the 18th century when the Industrial
Revolution began. Steel furniture such as cabinets
began to be in wide use as the need rose for effective
and safe storage of documents. |
In contrast to other furniture, steel furniture is an
end product of precision processing involving large-scale
manufacturing, processing and coating equipment for metal
patterns. Also, it requires automated facilities
which facilitate mass production and sales.
In the US, known for its advanced technology in this
field, metal furniture takes up a large portion of the
market. Japan also boasts about 20 world-renowned
brands, including Okamura and Kokuyo.
Metal furniture has many advantages in production,
usage, disposal and re-cycling. It is also considered
environment-friendly because it does not generate any
harmful substance to human health. Additionally,
the characteristics of steel enable us to produce solid
metal furniture with many benefits, including height
adjustment, mobility, variability, and easy assembly
and disassembly.
