Cabinet hardware industry, a new era of interpretation, integrated intelligence

The cabinet industry has gradually warmed up since last year. A crisis is like a big wave of sand, and the natural selection of low-caliber small cabinet companies has eliminated the quality of domestic cabinet enterprises. At the same time, consumers' demand is getting higher and higher, and brand awareness is gradually increasing, which also puts higher demands on domestic cabinet companies. Industry insiders predict that within a few years, the domestic cabinet industry will enter a new era of rapid development.

The cabinet products will be transformed into a comprehensive furniture that combines storage and storage, washing and cutting, cooking and frying, as well as catering, leisure, entertainment and learning. The entry of television, audio, internet, office and other equipment has changed the role of cabinets only as a labor tool. Perhaps in the near future, cabinets will include more cultural art and aesthetic appeal. With the application of fashion elements and high technology, this aesthetic aspect of spiritual function will gradually become the mainstream.

The rise of the design master room concept
Modern kitchen design is gradually changing the traditional layout of cabinets and corner cabinets, featuring open spaces and combining lighting. Traditional wall cabinets have become less and less important, and high-rise cabinets with larger storage space have become an alternative.

Currently, the cabinet concept extends to the main room. The so-called main room concept does not extend from the room layout, such as the bedroom, living room, study, etc. The layout of the cabinets is constantly changing. From the original L-shaped and U-shaped shapes to the center of the kitchen, the original shape is broken. The cabinets do not lean against the wall, the island has islands, and the water and electricity pipelines go underground. The main room concept gives the user greater freedom to make the kitchen full of vitality and vitality.

Standard equipment, integration
The standardization of cabinets has long plagued the cabinet industry and enterprises, but in recent years there has been a hope and direction of breakthroughs - cabinets are moving towards equipment and integration. For example, the Italian sheer cabinet, the whole cabinet is a ball, placed in the center, next to the auxiliary kitchen appliances, open the hemisphere when in use, when not in use. Some cabinet companies in Japan have been focusing on the development of equipment for kitchen components. There are also many enterprises in China that are developing or have already produced kitchen integrated equipment, such as integrated kitchen cabinets and sinks; integrated equipment for range hoods, stoves and sterilizers (ovens). This is a further development of the concept of “whole kitchen”.

Hue tends to calm the atmosphere
No matter how the fashion trends change, people always yearn for classics that are not easily eliminated. The calm and dark black and dark coffee will become the popular color of the cabinets this year and next. Judging from the color of the cabinets, the previous years were mainly solid colors, and monochromatic high-gloss materials such as white, red, olive green, and vanilla will continue to be popular. However, in a monochrome background, partial wood grain embellishments or natural wood grain will also be popular, and wood grain color will return.

The classical style cabinets are mostly made of solid wood. The frames and door panels are hand-carved, plus hand-painted and polished to reflect the ancient style. Modern style cabinets are also catching up with this trend. Wood-like cabinets abound, creating a sense of warmth in wood, but the shape is modern and simple, with a misplaced beauty.

Materials advocate natural environmental protection
The main materials of the cabinet will emphasize the use of healthy materials, natural environmentally friendly or environmentally friendly materials (such as quartz stone countertops) will be more and more widely used, metal and glass applications, stainless steel countertops will also be used more and more .

The protection of the environment and the use of natural, recyclable and degradable materials to protect the health of processors and users will increase the voice of the environment. Eliminating soot, noise, radiation, formaldehyde, light pollution, including drinking water purification, sewage treatment, air circulation, etc. will be the future development direction of cabinets. The cabinet material accounts for 70%-80% of the total consumption of the board. Moreover, the cabinet cabinet is intimately in contact with food and kitchen utensils. Only the cabinet is environmentally friendly, so that food, tableware, etc. can be protected from pollution. The environmental protection of the cabinet is the key to determining the environmental protection of the cabinet.

Hardware diversification and intelligence
With the diversified trend of cabinet design, new high-tech hardware is constantly being applied. The damping mute technology will be extended to hardware outside the drawer, for example, door hinges, upturned door hardware, etc. The use of kitchen luminaires will also gradually increase; the doors and drawers without handles and oppressed pop-ups will be more extensive. Kitchen waste disposers will also be accepted by more and more people. In addition, cabinet hardware will be more intelligent, and many are electric induction. Regardless of the weight and width of the drawer, it can be automatically opened with a single touch or a pull. The sliding doors in the cabinets are also automatically opened and returned. Even if both hands are holding items, the user can control them freely and safely.
