EDITORIAL

Quality furniture will have more space with rise in design expectations The Furniture Design & Technology (FDT) magazine is moving forward at steady pace with an objective to be a torch bearer for spreading knowledge on 5M’s of furniture industry in India.

FDT aims to help the unorganised and scattered furniture industry with regular inputs and info on emerging market prospects, trends and field surveys.

The present government has made many policy reforms that have impacted every SME & MSME establishment in some way or the other. Though the reforms have boost the industry which is visibly benefitting organised furniture manufacturers in the country as they have been able to connect with ongoing projects, yet majority of furniture producers are feeling pressure and cash crunch.

The furniture demand in retail markets is consistent but rising number of factories are slowly adding more design offerings so is the competition. Quality furniture will be getting more space in the market with rise in design expectations of customers, reveal recent market surveys conducted by FDT team. Modern design, quality finishing and aggressive pricing are the present need in the markets which is offered by new factories having good infrastructure, technology and design combinations.

With an estimated market size of 2.5 lacs crore per annum in 2018, the Indian Furniture market is often referred to be growing at 15% year on year. According to available insights hardly 6% of the total industry belongs to organised work culture where larger share comes from office segment. FDT believe that government’s provisions for SME support, RERA effect on housing deliveries and pace in budget housing will certainly be going to open new avenues for better equipped furniture manufacturers.

India has witnessed huge growth in modular kitchen segment during last 10 years. The acceptance of new surfacing materials in gloss and UV finish have created the need for well finished shutters, thus need of quality material and

machining. This issue of FDT carries an article on emerging product PVC laminate which is being widely used by kitchen industry at present. The issue also has market driven articles from Kerala and Bangalore that will help the industry people to know about the changing needs and trends in these states.

There is also an interesting read in One to One with Mr Ashok Quodros, Co-Founder, Multiflex Furniture, Mumbai, whose vast experience and expertise in furniture manufacturing offers insight and learning for new commers.

With lots of latest news and new efforts, Team FDT is busy sorting research based news and info in its next edition that will be there at Delhi wood 2019, to be held at Expo Mart, Greater Noida. We look forward to meet you in the exhibition.

Many businessmen believed, this furniture market is growing steadily and there is need to strengthen the grip. However the rising level of heavy competition in the market with respect to price was equally visible on sellers’ faces.

But they also accept that the demand of the furniture in the market has increased for the past few years.

Wooden Export and these wooden are loading for that purpose. He has no any furniture show room and only exporting the timber since long. He exports three to four containers (40 feet each) of timber in monthly basis.

There are also large numbers of wood based industries including plywood, particle board and sawn wood based panels apart from various furniture manufacturers where lot of manual and craving work happen that is why hundreds of people used to come from across the states to get the employment.

There are approximately 400 furniture shops in Kochi market of which many manufacturing base people have started exporting furniture. It was evident, that the Kochi market cluster is constantly expanding and getting the good demand of furniture from surrounding and even abroad. Small scale business men agree about overseas demand in furniture but it is yet to grow up. Majority of Small traders interviewed by FDT expressed in a way like ‘export of furniture is risky and not so easy work form for them. Many businessmen believed, this furniture market is growing steadily and there is need to strengthen the grip here. However the rising level of heavy competition in market w r to price was equally visible on seller faces. But they also accept that the demand of the furniture in the market has increased for the past few years.

the damage to the local furniture industry due to floods, traders said that the damage due to flood this area was less but it was very bad and horrible. Our business was also affected due to flood on that time but now it’s back on normalcy and the market is slowly rising now.

Businessmen say that a few years ago, only local people and traders used to buy the furniture from this market but now many businessmen from other states are also coming to buy furniture here, which is a good business indication for them. The businessmen say that increasing local furniture market is the result of the best availability of Timber in this area and the support provided by the government to the entrepreneurs. The quality of the timbers available in the area is also considered to be good, due to which people think about the durability of furniture.

COVER STORY

PVC laminate SheetS:

FURNITURE MAKERS IN INDIA HAVE ACCEPTED IT FOR LOOKS AND FINISHING qUALITY PVC laminate is gradually gaining deeper acceptance in surface decor application in kitchen and wardrobe manufacturing segment. Following the rise in demand, there are over a dozen of players who have started manufacturing these PVC designer sheets in India that are also being referred as PVC mica or PVC laminate. The PVC sheets were initially imported from China and during last 3-4 years it caught the attention of retailers in every city. The glossy trend cought up with kitchen makers and the super high gloss effect of PVC sheets became a hit trend by 2018. Now market is flooded with similar gloss designs.

The mirror feel PVC sheets have been receiving good response because the customer’s acceptance is good due to brighter colour options, highlighter designs and suiting to door shutters aesthetics. With rise in number of manufacturing companies and brands, the folders of PVC sheets are widely seen and awareness level is also increasing.

The PVC brands e. g. MERAKI, AMULYA, ALSTONE, SKYDECOR, ECHON, VIRGO, BLACK COBRA IMPRESSION, EURO BRIGHT, STANLEY etc are from Indian manufacturing Companies.

As regards to imports of PVC laminates, EURO PRATIK, TREELAM, DEXARTE, LAMINEX, KASHVI, TREND are the key players.

Off late few areas have witnessed competition from PVC sheets in high gloss HPL category because PVC laminate folders are having plenty of shade, colours and peppy designs.

Furniture Design & Technology (FDT) presents a report on its increasing applications.

COVER STORY

What is PVC Laminates Even the designers/veneer buyers are using high gloss sheets of PVC sheets in showrooms and hotel lobby area thanks to ease of application, money and time saving. Now a days, better quality glue is available in the market is also helping to the demand of PVC laminate as it prevents the cracking issue. The way its application is growing in smaller markets, the PVC laminate sheet market is bound to pose competition to HPl in present scenario.

PVC Laminates are a composite artificial material made by pressing together thin layers of flat paper/film/foil and plastic resins, the upper layer printed with a decorative pattern or colour and the laminates are pressed in factories using high pressure by automated machinery. Unlike HPL, PVC laminate is made using PVC thin films pressing on printed PVC laminate sheets.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) has good formability and therefore thin PVC foils can be used as membrane and PVC laminate can be printed in different way therefore different options of colours, designs, decors and textures are possible on it. It is available in the market with the thickness of 0.5 mm to 2mm. However, it is one of the cheapest polymers which are used to make decorative surfaces, so there is

some disadvantage in it which appears with the passes of time.

Is PVC Mica good enough?

PVC laminate has come a long way since its launch in 2012. It started producing in China but sales majorly being in India. Being a decorative product, it has now become a vital pull product for all retailers pan-India.

It has gained a liking among kitchen shutters applications and even small size kitchen makers in tier 2-3 and even in metro cities though high end kitchen makers are still unsure of this product performance thus they prefer to opt for acrylic panels that have similar gloss appeal. Largely retailers and furniture makers feel that PVC mica is a very suitable for beatifying a simple set up in to modern one.

PVC laminate is helping the small size kitchen & wardrobe makers to offer a quick and new kind of design in a very short time that quickly grab the eye balls of middle class customers. The retailers are selling by calling the PVC sheets as “imported luxury laminates, whose finish, shine and designs are unmatched by any other surfacing materials.”Market concludes that PVC mica is growing steadily because of its functionality under an affordable price band.

PVC laminates applications grow into Kitchen & wardrobe segment PVC laminates applies for making Kitchen Cabinets, Wall Decor, Doors, TV Cabinets and other interior applications. The USP of PVC Laminate is its 90 degree bendable feature what makes it last longer and helps in covering the edges giving a finished look and also saves time and money by removing edge band applications in the process of furniture making after its application. Being Flashy and wide range of different Colour Options,

Non Toxic, Anti-Borer, Anti Termite, Fire Retardant (with good quality material) and water proof is added advantage of PVC laminates.

Solid Color core body offers longevity: The advantage seen to PVC sheets are also coming from ‘color core base’characteristic also. The color core base is a product that has full sheet body in same color as it is on top surface. The decorative Laminate producing companies were offering such sheets called as color core range that has base of the same material which is a big boon when any sheet gets scratched. The color core base is helpful in bringing and matching with top surface after little bit of sanding/ smoothening.

Color core HPL was getting hard easily due to being paper used, which easily get moisture, colour fade, etc. Today the PVC laminate in its solid and metallic colours are in trend for kitchen shutter.

Indian manufacturers are promoting their offerings different from imported one stating that their indigenous

offerings are colour core product and is better than other which do not crack during application. The imported products are mostly white backed cheaper grade quality.

Areas where PVC mica making inroads: Lately PVC laminates are being used like wall paper due to aesthetics and its better resistance to Indian weather and dust conditions. The availability of wide range, colors and designs of products is giving edge to PVC sheets largely because its application yields a whole different feel due to no use of edge band.

Even the designers/veneer buyers are using high gloss sheets of PVC sheets in showrooms and hotel lobby area thanks to ease of application, money and time saving. Now a days, better quality glue is available in the market is also helping to the demand of PVC laminate as it prevents the cracking issue.

in present scenario. Though on quality front, PVC sheets are yet to build their trust among quality seekers.

This product penetration is happening across the country with major sales seen at North due to multiple manufacturing facilities located in this region. South India has grown for demand of this product majorly for modular furniture and kitchen industry.

According to retailers ‘the attractive colours and designs supported by decent margin per sheet, makes it a good product to suggest to the customers and the customers also like it very much. For many people, PVC sheets are substitute replacement of deco paint too. Wooden textured, Plain Solid Colours with glitter, Metallic, Rustic and Ash Colours are in trend.

PVC Laminate market scenario: As per market surveys and research by BSMR & Ply Reporter magazine, Indian manufacturers have captured above 50 percent of market share in PVC

laminates category. The present volume for local manufacturing capacity is around 2.0 lakh sheets per month and it has been growing every month.

Approximately 10 new manufacturing lines are in process of installation which may start their production in another 6 months. This innovative product is also eating the share of 1.0 mm HPL sheets as price wise it is in the same segment.

The market is flooded with High gloss PVC sheets offered at Rs 12 to 1500, where as high quality gloss HPL sheets are not available on less than Rs 19002000 price band in retail. The increasing manufacturing establishments in PVC laminate category indicate that it will be more competitive in coming days, which will lead to more design options at lower price band. As of now over a dozen of manufacturing facility is operational across the country and by next year ten more facilities are coming up with better manufacturing capacity.

Disadvantages and Challenges PVC Laminate is not a suitable material for horizontal or traffic area surfaces application. It is not generally UVstabilized, and therefore tend to turn yellow after a period of time. Further, as most of the designs are printed, colour variation is a common issue in PVC laminates. It is complained by few designers that few brands have promised it to be anti scratch product but it is having poor scratch resistance.

That is why for high usability area like wardrobe, kitchen shutters at the bottom, table top etc are not the suitable area of applications because it get scratches frequently.

PVC laminate customers’ acceptance is good but the problem coming in front of the traders that in one hand the sellers claim it 90 degree bendable but the carpenters are not capable to do so specially in North India.

The work done on contract with carpenters in hurry do not apply the tool (‘V’ grooving tool) correctly for bending 90 degree as is a time taking process; and due to mishandling the sheet broke down.

Due to this the customers’ confidence comes down. In this way the plus point of PVC laminates ‘90 degree bendable’ quality becomes minus point due to illiteracy of carpenters.

This problem aggravates in northern part of the country but South is comparatively in better condition and acceptance is good because the people are more technical there. There is another perception that the product is plastic based which can catch fire easily but the scenario is different and most of the application is in kitchen and paneling in Indian house hold or builders projects are of good quality material. There is a limitation that if cheaper quality material is used in kitchen; is much prone to catch fire but in India where ever it is used in the kitchen/cabinet either modular or at home in traditional kitchen people take care of quality and fire retardant material.

COVER STORY

Opinion of Some Manufacturers and Importers We were one of the first companies who introduced PVC mica in India. It’s 100% water resistant, termite resistant & 90 degree bendable. Also it’s an economical product which gives a high gloss look. We are the only company, which provides color core in imported PVC laminates. Indian manufactures have taken major market share since last 2 years. I feel Indian manufacturers have around 60-70% market share for this product.

Mr. Pratik Singhvi, Managing Director, Euro Pratik The PVC laminate market is growing drastically. The acceptance among carpenters and end customers have been very well because of easy application and fabulous designs that are not available in conventional laminates. It completely replaces the conventional laminates and is more durable and waterproof which is the reason it can be used in kitchen shutters, wardrobes, beds and various other interior application. It makes the surface water and termite proof.

Mr. Utsav Garg, Skydecor PVC laminate is a useful product for India and its acceptance is growing gradually. It is very suitable product for various interior decor applications due to its 90 degree bendable property. We are sole manufacturer of ‘led free material’ in this segment with a sheet thickness of 1.25 mm and always latest designs and colors.

There is decent growth potential if you produce good quality PVC laminate range.

Mr. Rakesh Agrawal, Amulya PVC Laminates Since the last four years a variety of different polymer laminates have flooded the Indian market. The most variedly used and the one which has been successfully capturing the Indian market is PVC laminates. The growth trajectory of PVC laminates in the Indian market has been parabolic since last 3-4 years.

Apart from having a good formability, the advantage of 90 degree bend ability has been one of the important reasons for its growing popularity. We at DEXARTE also provide Scratch Resistant PVC Laminates with Velvet to Soft touch finish.

Contradictory to a perception that PVC laminates tend to turn yellow over a period of time and that Color variation is a common issue in these, we are confident of supplying material that has no such issues. Quality material does not have such problems and DEXARTE ASSURES ITS CUSTOMER OF TOP NOTCH QUALITY. 22

People are shifting from imported to Indian manufactured products and no delivery problem is an added advantage with them, on the other hand importers are dependent on arrival of containers. The beauty of this product is being color core, vast range and high gloss in solid color with sparkle. In this category the latest offering is matt finish which is velvet kind of thing. By the March 2019 ten more manufacturers are expected to come into picture. So the competition is going to increase.

Mr. Abhinav Chaudhary, Director, Paramount Group (STANLEY) PVC laminate is being also experimented to be used in place of wall paper due to its design options and waterproof feature.

The availability of range and 90 deg bendable feature makes PVCas a usefulproducts. PVC laminate is being offered by local manufacturers in different way with color core saying it has better quality because being color core do not allow the upper layer to crack while it is 90 degree bended. Its grooving requires application expertise for better finish and durability of product.

Mr. Santosh Chomal, Heritage

The major application of PVC laminate is in kitchen segment. The look in high gloss with tiny sparkle has created a boom for PVC mica because the looks are exceptionally above all other surfacing items. If anyone is to apply covering of 10x2.5 sq ft he prefers to use PVC laminate. Earlier, the demand of PVC laminate was more in West or North but now it is becoming popular in south and expanded western regions due to increasing applications in modular furniture and kitchens.

Mr. Vinay Bhandari, Director, Siddhi Veneer (Rang)

The PVC laminate market has grown excellently well during last 4 years and is still growing. People are accepting PVC mica easily now also because they are getting aware of the benefits like Water-Proof, Fire-Retardant, Termite & Pest-Proof and also long-lasting. Currently, the application of PVC mica is mainly happening in Kitchen Cabinets. South-India has good potential and has maximum demand for these decorative PVC Laminates because their, the buyer are open to accept new things.

PVC demand was a bit slow few months back but now it is increasing. Day by day it is being used in place of normal laminates in furniture and interiors applications also. The benefit of using PVC laminate is that it gives modular look and feel of even traditional kitchen with it wide range of colours and designs. It is an all-rounder product for interior applications.

The demand of this product is from across the country.

Mr. Jigar Phatak, MD, Treelam

Mr. Akash Darji, Euro Bright

It has advantage that after application it does not get affected with water and moisture but the normal laminate is fade away and deteriorated if water is used regularly on it. Its application in furniture is also increasing. The wooden shades are more in application for interior, but the solid colours with sparkle is largely used in kitchen cabinet. In kitchen application metallic solid colour is more in application.

PVC laminate have come into picture five years before. These days its application is increasing so the demand. Its gives modular look of even traditional kitchen. High gloss PVC laminate is maintenance free and durable with the advantage of not displaying its core when applied with 90 degree bending with technical expertise. In kitchen application mostly solid colours are in demand and for other interior purpose the available designs of wooden and veneered looks are applied.

When and how did you enter into modular furniture business?

We began with site project work around 1997-98, where we faced major issues with conventional carpentry.

We adhered to scientific methods, facilitated carpenters with tools, incentives and other ways of motivation but faced frustration. A friend of ours from Canada, who at the time was into panel-processing and modular furniture, served as an inspiration for us. Initially after starting out, the machines we bought didn’t fulfill our needs and quality parameters, but after teething troubles at the start, eventually we succeeded.

How do you manage the operations at factory now?

We work on very set parameters for every activity such as sawing, edging, gluing etc. In case of any shortcoming, the onus and responsibility lies on the operator of the next operation process to reject or accept the material at that stage. We have very experienced employees for inspection and quality checks who have been working with us for a very long time, hence, if any deficiency has inadvertently continued till the last stage, it is taken care of there. We do not have any marketing

With regard to the input material that one uses, a careful selection must be done in terms of density and at least of E1 or E0 standard in terms of emission. Often, there is density variation, thickness variation within the board, across the board and a furniture maker can’t manufacture good furniture if the thickness variation is beyond the tolerance level. Plywood is a good material, but not calibrated in India. There is no concept of calibration, but everybody claims calibrated with a thickness variation of 0.5 to 1mm. and sales setup, yet success has found us by word-of-mouth. We put a lot of emphasis on R&D, as it is an integral part of our corporate philosophy and tradition—thus we keep ourselves abreast of the global trends.

Our basic principle is ‘Never compromise on quality of the furniture or its specification’. If sufficient data is not available, we don’t take the job. We cannot lower our standards, instead we opt for going beyond our already high standards.

What is infrastructure and other strengths of your company?

We produce furniture only to the extent that we can physically manage, not to the extent that our machines can produce. We always keep a single shift as buffer shift to meet the deadlines, as our operational philosophy is ‘ON

Five Challenges for modular furniture industry 1.

The Raw material does not confirm to the standards, parameters, tolerance etc.

2.

Getting good people to join this industry to manage, train and supervise staff and operations.

3.

Education and awareness among customers, the need to develop clients or to hunt for quality seeking builders.

4.

Correct Mindset to address clients needs. Do not change the client, because your client is your spokesperson and for sure it is very important to address his concerns for the furniture.

5.

Standardization of products.

TIME, EVERY TIME’. We have never come across a situation where we couldn’t deliver on time. We receive offers of huge scale up but we do not avail them because we are yet to build up a comprehensive infrastructure.

Currently, we are working with machine manufacturers to give us specific customized built CNC machines with multiple access. We are sure that bolstering our infrastructure and developing our new stream of panel processing will soon meet the demands of future.

What are the signals that you find positive for India’s modular furniture industry?

India’s modular furniture industry is growing very aggressively. Hundreds of new manufacturing units are being setup. With rise and growth of various suppliers of infrastructural material, machines and processing solutions or development in allied works like extraction, wood paints, roller coater, UV lines, automatic robotic press, etc., signal a sharp growth and bright prospect for modular furniture industry.

Among Modular furniture and Solid wood or Kitchen specific sector, which one has bigger potential?

In my view, it is panel processing that will have bigger scope in future.

Although when it comes to creation

of panels, the parameters one adopts matters a lot. In the kitchen segment, there are certain parameters that are faced like prone to water, heat, oils, fry fumes and dust, etc., and it has to be sufficient enough to withstand the abuse rather than its use. A kitchen has to be designed scientifically and ergonomically but it becomes a tricky and pricy affair.

How do you see the role of Hardware and other raw materials for quality furniture making?

If the raw material input is compromised, then the throughput has to be compromised. The hardware incorporated in the furniture should be rigid and must be fitted factory level.

Hardware is developed with a scientific approach in order to its function, and that becomes the USP of the hardware.

Hence hardware integration cannot be done at the site with human hands as it will invite dimensional inaccuracy, thus reducing the life span of the finished furniture. The role of hardware is very crucial and has to be pre-defined.

With regard to the input material that one uses, a careful selection must be done in terms of density and at least of E1 or E0 standard in terms of emission. Often, there is density variation, thickness variation within the board, across the board and a furniture maker can’t manufacture

good furniture if the thickness variation is beyond the tolerance level. Plywood is a good material, but not calibrated in India. There is no concept of calibration, but everybody claims calibrated with a thickness variation of 0.5 to 1mm. There is density variation, gaps etc.,which could be a breeding ground for termites/borers. Hence selecting quality material is very crucial for a furniture company, if it aspires to be successful.

How do you see the innovation in hardware segment for your growth?

There was a huge and exponential sale in hardware initially. But it is very unfortunate that most of the players are bringing products that the market requires, not what should be the market requirement. Once we have access to the hardware we desire, as they do in Europe, then we approach the next level, of incorporating correct hardware for specific applications.

1.

Selection of the correct machinery, talk to somebody who is not selling dreams, but selling machinery which meet your requirements.

There are many, and those machines that we buy should ensure the solution provider’s job after selling the machine. So the service parameters and the maintenance parameters are even more important than the best engineering.

2.

Before you start production get all the input materials which conform and are within the tolerance level of the machines for manufacturing of furniture. When you buy machines, we always say you can buy a machine or you can buy headaches.

Chose what you want. Let price not be the deciding factor.

3.

For input raw material, incorporate an attitude and philosophy of quality being non-negotiable. It’s a very challenging schedule at times, but if you overcome that, it becomes a pleasure, because it is not just satisfaction of producing, but of producing a beautiful product.

4.

Do things correct, be fair. Let there be a fair trade, be fair to your suppliers, let them be team-members, rather than suppliers. We call them partners, because there is mutual trust; we always explain to them, “Please be loyal to your company first, but never be unfair to customers, because then you can’t do business forever.”

5.

In terms of infrastructure, layout, machinery, there are very good people in the industry. They are genuine, who will do it for you free of cost, even if you don’t buy machines from them! There are very magnanimous people. You can trust these people, they do not sell dreams. If these parameters are met, I think there is no issue getting into this industry as it is a growing industry.

How do you market your product?

Seriously, this is very tricky question. We had never stepped out of our factories in last 25 years. We don’t possess any team for marketing and sales. But our regular customers have been with us for last several years. Our major opportunities are in the Middle East.

From 10 lakh to 10 crore turnover, we haven’t done anything differently, just focused on the basics.

Five notes for a Modular furniture maker

ONE 2 ONE

How do you see the entry of IKEA? IKEA will be a gamechanger in India.

They will set standards which everybody will have to know. It will be a very good thing, in that India will realize the importance of standardization and it will help the entire furniture industry to grow. People are educated and everyone who wants to purchase furniture is eager for a correctly-done, long-lasting, value-for-money product and IKEA will be a help in the same direction. I anticipate that there will be change in acceptance and standards in furniture making. We are very happy that they are here.

It is said that IKEA will be offering affordable price, is it possible?

Volume will give them that edge of assurance and they will setup a backend.

They are an honest company and know the product standards. IKEA will target a certain segment, with a clear product, proper standard and aim to full fill the requirement of a large segment, which is the need of the hour. They have the software, people, resources, and that helps a customer to make up his mind.

IKEA can shake things up and I think it is very good for the industry.

Who are the real drivers of modular furniture segment in terms of growth?

First is the input supplier and second are the solution providers for panel processing mechanization, who offer machines tailored towards fulfilling requirements, instead of merely selling dreams. Out of the several, there are a few very good solution providers, though.

Who is the driver for market growth, Population/earnings or Government policies?

It is aspiration that is the real driver.

When people travel abroad or come

We are so happy and pleased to experience the effect of GST in terms of cost and the products. Reason being, we couldn’t get the entire input earlier and now we get entire input. And here we are compelled to purchase only from the registered sellers.

We are extremely happy with this. RERA, I think the power with anything in the government can be enforced. For the first time the customers are feeling cared for and the developers are compelled to conform to the norms. across something on the Internet, aspirations happen. The young people’s growing disposable income is one of the driving factors and it happens with developing economy where government policies matters a lot. For example, there is a Skill India programme for furniture industry spending Rs.3000 crore, but nothing is happening. The government seems to have taken appropriate steps and given boost to the sector, but unfortunately the execution, implementation, utilization of the facts is not happening. It is a combination of progress at all levels that will drive market growth.

How do you see the role of architects and designers in modular furniture segment?

There is lot for them to do. Some machinery suppliers have lines and training institutes where one may learn panel processing. Few hardware companies too are willing to train architects and incorporate them in their operations. There are manufacturers who love to train professionals in the correct application of adhesives, polishes and paints and their effects.

There are many in the industry who train architects and professionals for input raw material. We try to educate as much as possible, whether they are architects or interior designers, how to put it together, or combine all these materials to produce beautiful, stable, long-lasting furniture. The

designers’ fraternity are fast learners and their observation rate is very good.

Unfortunately, there is no institute who can enlighten on this subject with a holistic view, including technology.

How do you see GST & RERA kind of laws?

It is the most fantastic and the largest reform in the world. We are so happy and pleased to experience the effect of GST in terms of cost and the products.

Reason being, we couldn’t get the entire input earlier and now we get entire input.

And here we are compelled to purchase only from the registered sellers. We are extremely happy with this.

RERA, I think the power with anything in the government can be enforced.

For the first time the customers are feeling cared for and the developers are compelled to conform to the norms.

Earlier it was unorganized with several developers taking a casual approach and taking advantage of the setup, to the huge cost of customers who are aspired to the project. Customers will benefit, first boon will be for clients and second is for quality.

Who are the leading top ten companies in Furniture segment? And what is your’s?

I don’t want comment on them, but we do nearly Rs. 35 crore per annum. We don’t want to stretch over even after investors willing to come forward and assist us.

importing, retail and wholesaling. And a lot of traders run their own furniture factories in the outskirts of the city. Mr. Kariappa, the owner of Kaveri Furniture Mart told FDT team that the demand for furniture, especially office furniture in Bangalore has gradually decreased.

The history and practices of such wooden art in India has been from a very ancient period, which were mostly prepared by traditional carpenters, talented artisans and classical painters. But in the present time this artistic work has now started to be done through state-of-the-art and computerized machines, which are called Wood Carving and Wood Statue Machines. In fact, increasing demand or need of such wooden art in the furniture industry of the world is the reason behind the invention of such machines. In India, the demand for these machines is increasing rapidly, which also shows that Wood Carving business is expanding itself as a big industry. With the invention of wood carving and wood statue machines, many problems of the furniture makers, traders and industries spread across the world have become easy. The biggest advantage of these machines is that the time it takes in wood carving and making wood statue becomes much less. Many numbers of artifacts can be made simultaneously through these machines, which saves the huge time and cost.

December 2018

Although the process of providing furniture artifacts, wooden molds and structures made of fine carvings, attractive art and fiction, making the actual form through machine is also quite long and complex. This process also requires at least one master or sample piece with art and design, which is made by an artist, painter or carpenter. This process of wood carving and making wood statue moves through machines in a phased wise manner.

Know about the Process First of all, whatever type of wood artwork, mold, statue or design is to be shaped, at least it must be a physical master or sample piece of wooden artwork is required. That master or sample piece is scanned with high resolution scanners attached with

computer and related software. During this scanning process, the light of different types of waves and colors is continually dropped on master piece. Any part of the sample piece that is constantly comes under the light and waves, its virtual design, shapes and size prepared by the software in computer. Most of furniture manufacturers are using ein Scan Pro software for this purpose. A complete virtual design and shape is done through the software and manually tested in the computer. When a design is fully prepared in the computer, that computer is connected to the electronic control box and wood statue and wood carving machine.

The same control box send indications to wood carving or wood statue machine and machine can also be

MACHINES & TECHNOLOGIES

controlled by the control box. Machines works as per signals received from the control box and software. After the design is fully prepared, the part of the wood laid down on the space available for the same in wood carving or wood statue machine. It can be a door or any type of surf wood for wood carving and sizes of wood pieces for wood statue.

The cut pieces of timber are also put on the statue machine, from which the statue or mold to be prepared. How many area of wood carving or piece of statue will be made at one time, it depends on the size and capacity of the machine. Generally, one wood carving work on average door size wooden surface and three to eight statue can be made at one go. This should be noted that two different machines are needed for both different tasks. The time taken for wood carving and wood statue works depends on design and size of sample. If the design is more complex then it may take as much time.

The machine works on the basis of the signals received from the computer and the control box, and the screws and other accessories of machine gives

shapes to the wood as per design.

This work takes much less time than hand-made artwork and every design is equally prepared.

These state-of-the-art machines are so efficient that if a person requires his face or pictures designs on the wood, then he can scan the picture or face of the person, which can be easily crafted or made on wood.

High Demands Demand for furniture made of different types of carvings or artifacts is increasing in the country. Apart from this, wood made toys, sculptures; molds etc. are being preferred by the people as they are more durable, attractive and also eco-friendly. There is no fear of any kind of breakdown of such wooden made items. Due to all these reasons, demands for wood statue machines are increasing among the furniture manufacturers of the country and there are many new people coming in this business.

Karvy Tech Company, a company that manufacturing such Wood Carving

and Wood Statue Machine, which participated in the three-day Hindustan International Furniture Fair organized in Cochin, said in an interview with FDT that they have sold more than 800 Wood Statue machines across the country in the last two years. The company sold most of the machines in Southern and Western part of India. The company said there is more demand of Wood Statue machines in market than Wood Carving, as this machine is more beneficial for any start up except for furniture makers. The cost of a single wood statue Machine is Rs. 19.50 Lac which can make 8 statues at single time. The cost of per wood carving machine is Rs. 7.50 lac and the company has sold approx 350 such machines in the market in last two years.

The company is investing in the factory at Pune by adding new space, new machinery and setting up warehousing capabilities

Premium office furniture major Steelcase Inc is looking to tap a Rs. 1400 crore market opportunity in India for its ergonomically-designed office furniture line. Since its entry into the India market in 2006, this US-based company has witnessed high double-digit revenue growth rate, driven by demand from global in-house centres (GICs) of large multinational corporations and leading domestic firms.

“India with its Rs. 7000 crore office furniture market presents a huge opportunity for our products, as the country will see the biggest addition to the white-collar workforce over the next few decades. This is why we set up a factory in Pune in 2013, to serve Indian customers better.

Today furniture industry is looking for new as well as innovative products which can satisfy the ever growing need of the end user. Witnessing the change Evershine Kitchen has launched the ANG range of shutter in their membrane category under the brand of Arancia Kuchen. They have launched this product on expert advice from in-house designers for which they got good response in terms of the order.

Arancia is the first Indian company to introduce a foil that’s in dual tone, in which they further have an option of inserting design elements in the dual tone foil shutter.

The foils come in seven varieties to choose from and can be provided in Plain, CNC as well as in Napolean profile. The beauty of this shutter can be seen and felt more in Casia, Dora, Electra, Aristo, Napolean F, Napolean J and Napolean P profile. There are innumerable uses of this product and it can be used in all kind of furniture products. Keeping in mind the requirements and preferences of a modern day Indian household, they do provide the ANG range in marine ply (as base material of the shutter). However, in that case it is not possible to provide it with design element.

The specifications, advantages and uses of the products include total customization depending upon the requirement of the customer. The core material remains to be either MDF or Marine ply. The product has a versatility of either being used as kitchen shutters for kitchen or in wardrobes. It can also be used in wall paneling purpose or for other furniture like TV unit, crockery unit etc. In short its versatile usage is an added advantage and allows a creative freedom to the designs of an architect or an interior designer. They supply this material within 12 to 15 days from the date of confirmation of the order.

This product is scratch resistance and comes with a 5 years warranty.

The company believes that unfortunately the industry is still dominated by the unorganized sector that doesn’t go for an in-depth knowledge of the products that they use. However, due to socio– economic awareness built through various channels around which has lead to increase in the level of customer expectation from the furniture products, the furniture market is steadily coming under the organized sector. The major challenge for Modular kitchen manufacturers in India is that they have state-of-the-art German machinery which is made for standardized products to be produced on mass level where as in India the companies have customized kitchens so the company customizes products for each and every customer. As a result they can’t utilize the full capacity of machineries. If the market becomes more mature and the end user becomes more receptive towards the standardized kitchens then they would be able to utilize machineries to its fullest capacity which shall in turn help in cuuting down the costs and delivery time taken.

Training in LWF consTrucTion in Mysore by

canadian Wood Forestry Innovation Consulting India Pvt. Ltd (FII India) displayed a North American style home, constructed using the light wood-frame (LWF) method in Delhi Wood 2017. The exhibit was a walkthrough installation with unfinished walls and ceilings, topped by an exposed roof structure. The partial-finish theme allowed visitors to closely inspect and thereby understand the unique construction and weatherproofing on display, the discreet inclusion of services and insulation, the prefabricated style, as well as the interface of structural materials with interior fit-out and exterior claddings.

This exhibit garnered not just awareness, but also interest, resulting in numerous enquiries to FII about LWF design, with a surprising volume of them coming from South India.

FII was aware that wooden houses were becoming popular in the south for resorts, beach locations, hill stations, farmhouses, and areas with infrastructure and access challenges, but these houses were either demountable or portable, and constructed in a different style. The predominant method was prefabricated tongue and groove-interlocking boards, hence it was encouraging to see the same manufacturers who prefer those methods express curiosity in LWF construction.

The challenge for FII then, was to provide relevant training and share the knowledge that is necessary for interested parties to construct effectively without compromising on industry standards, as well as impart the necessary skills and techniques to their workforce and tradesmen. They roped in Dan Drummond, a professional builder 42

December 2018

and instructor from Canada, to teach FII’s inaugural LWF training course in India.

Dan had previously performed the same role for Canada Wood in Shanghai, China, and so had the experience as well as the course structure in place, including a detailed-but-edited version of “Guide to Good Practice” (China version) that can be used as a classroom and homework resource.

The venue was arranged in Mysore. The class size was limited to twenty-five including four FII staff. All materials including lumber, OSB panels, tools, and fasteners had been imported by FII from Canada. The course lasted a full nine days, offering participants theory sessions in a classroom in the morning, followed by a practical session in a workshop in the afternoon. In the workshop, everyone got the opportunity

to apply classroom knowledge as well as work in teams with tools.

It was commendable that participants ranging from company directors to factory floor employees honoured their commitment to tradecraft over those nine consecutive days. This was no easy task for people who ran their own businesses and had daily responsibilities in their respective companies.

The course was hands-on, with all participants contributing to the cutting, nailing, measuring and construction of the foundation and the floor, wall and roof framing, and bracing, using a variety of quality tools.

Dan arrived a week prior to the course and had checked the venue, a factory space with sufficient floor-space to erect a 2.0 m x 4.0 m two-storey building, while

accommodating twenty-five people with tools and equipment along with building materials. The trainee house needed a clear height of 6.0m under the factory roofline and trusses. Dan supervised the pouring of a concrete curb wall with anchor bolts for fixing timber plates to the foundation.

The course required all participants to learnthrough action, and resulted in a light timber-frame house constructed from start to finish over the duration of the course. The house consisted of prefabricated stud wall sections over two levels with flooring and sheathing, three windows, an inside partition wall and door opening, roof trusses with eaves and fascia, and a fully sheathed roof. An entry stair was added and the house was considered complete to lockup stage.

It was very encouraging for FII to realise that this inaugural course was oversubscribed. FII intends to hold a second course, identical in format, in North India in the early part of 2019, and wefully expect that course to be oversubscribed as well. The feedback from participants was extremely positive, which leads us to conclude that a follow-up course will be duly considered too.

Company: Nipponply

Project: Stall Design (Pavilion)

Objective To showcase the quality, raw material used and range of products, Nipponply designed their stall/pavilion in innovative way.

Procedure &Architects Nipponply has appointed Architect – Mr Saransh & structural engineerMr Saksham to design and fabricate a pavilion exclusively made from own plywood, veneers & laminates.

Offerings & Showcase Nipponply offers wide range of products:1. Decorative Plywood/ Blackboard/ Flush doors, calibrated plywood 2. Decorative Veneers and Burma Teak Veneers – gurjan platform with 0.5mm face thickness 3. Decorative HPL Laminates – full thickness, 100% phenolic laminate with imported paper

raw form. Plywood being basic raw material clients does not consider it as a décor surface product. Nipponply has introduced to the Indian market plywood / BB/ FD with a decorative surface which comes with a higher face thickness.

This decorative ply can be used with various polishes, which can bring the same warmth as like a veneer or laminate.

Adding to that it saves the consumers cost, Labor and mainly the time.

Overview The current design is a display of the pavilion which was developed and

fabricated through a process of design prototyping, structural experiments and material calibration over nine months.

The shell was designed with benefits of comparably minimal wastage during the milling process, high reusability with the same precision, and ease of assembly within a days’ time. This design is in many ways guided and inspired by Plate Skeleton system of Sea Urchins. The pavilion embodies our deep interest in the integration of form, fabrication, and performance.

mission of showcasing their plywood’s innate strength. A tessellating system of triangular ‘panels’ was developed based on guided hanging chain models, achieved digitally through use of selfdeveloped scripts and form-finding plugins like Kangaroo. One of the central concerns during development of the form was to expose these panels to various kinds of stresses, loads and end-conditions, so that along with being a modulating system it suffices as a marker of strength for the given material. A flat part of the shell, smooth and abrupt bends, both-side supported ends, cantilevered ends, etc. were all developed to facilitate the same.

Structural tests for 20kg per sq.m were conducted digitally, but the actual structure has been able to take the weight of two people simultaneously walking across it with just minor deflections.

Pavilion Construction Nipponply Pavilion has been constructed from 720 unique CNCrouted triangular Nipponply panels which assemble together into one continuous shell. These 9 mm thin Nipponply MR GOLD panels may not be stiff in itself but in integration with the complete system, it works perfectly to sustain various kinds of stress and loads. The panels are joined with each other using pairs of 835 custom milled MS brackets. Both of these take equal

part to form a composite structural system. which The shell gracefully sits on four plywood cuboids, which tactfully incorporates all storage and electrical needs of the event along with providing structural anchoring to the shell. The flooring is made from Nipponply – Perfect ply MR grade 16mm – calibrated ply to get smooth ground surface.

The entire pavilion was assembled by hand following very simple physical rules, piece by piece, by a team of carpenters. After making it completely in Ahmedabad, the structure was dismantled and shipped to Mumbai in 30 arches of 16-28 panels. This allowed for reduction in assembly time and packaging materials. Inspire of the entire assembly being carried out manually, the average dimensional tolerance achieved, was of less than 13mm.

Experience The open groves and the etched numbers on each panel neatly unveil the entire construction process. Both of these together,form the only reference system for the assembly of the pavilion.

With no secondary layer to this system, the Pavilion reveals it all for a keen eye.

Right at the back is a common wall shared with another pavilion, along which are placed 150 double sided panels displaying veneers and laminates exposed, to feel quality & raw material

WADe AsiA 2019 Architecture & Design event 11 -12 October, 2019 NSIC Ground, Okhla, New Delhi

C

urious eyes, an innate zeal to uniquely contribute, and an insane thirst to spread women-led development, were the burning reasons, which shaped WADe INDIA [World Women in Arts, Architecture and Design], a one of a kind event and an exhaustive digital platform, in the Asian sub-continent, with three annual footprints that happened so far. By and large, women don’t get an opportunity to network as much as men, and that too, hardly in their industry and fraternity. WADe ASIA wanted to bridge the gap.

The seed of WADe was laid back in 2012, when Vertica Dvivedi, Editor-in-Chief, Surfaces Reporter Magazine, met the legend, Ar Zaha Hadid in 2012 during an exclusive coverage of her. The research, discussions and ‘what ahead – what next – what new’ led to the thought of creating a platform exclusively for women in design.

And the rest is history...

A journey, which humbly started as WADe INDIA, magically gathered enormous attention, love and

support from across the Asian borders, in just a year, evolving to WADe ASIA, in no time.

Objectives Of Wade Asia: To bring women-led projects into limelight connect the aspirers with the leaders to handhold the ones, who want to return and consistently inspire, and promote learning & sharing. To celebrate the life, work, and achievements of women architects, artists and designers. To reward and recognise.

The last three events of WADe Asia were over-whelmingly well received, attended, absorbed, and highly acknowledged by 1200+ professionals from the national, as well as the international community.

Power-talks from the who’s who in arts, architecture and design, panel discussions with eminent guests and delegates, talk shows with the mentors, deeply informative discussions, master-class from the design maestros, the multiple award categories, and a one of a kind opportunity to gel and network with a top of the class, relevant and an enthusiastic troop were just a handful of highlights.

In the words of the founder, Vertica Dvivedi: “Now it is time for you to STEP IN, take ownership and give more meaningful direction to this movement”.

Who Should Attend?

(Not limited to any gender. We welcome the industry to come & celebrate womenled development)

v Architects v Furniture Designers v Project Managers v Interior Designers v Product Designers v Design Consultants and more...

Together with you, we are devoted to invest bigger efforts, go the extra mile, stretch the platform to diverse and deeper territories of arts, architecture and design, in our quest to diversify, connect and empower womanhood.

Connecting to us is easy.

See you in WADe Asia 2019 from 11-12 October at NSIC Ground, New Delhi

BRINDA MILLER | Mumbai

NELA DE ZOYSA | Sri Lanka

WADe Asia was an interesting experience with some great speakers. You indeed put in a huge effort!

The WADe Asia Conference gave me the opportunity to reconnect with many long lost Indian friends through my journey in life. It gave me opportunities and platform to make new friends which was wonderful. I was surprised at the number of persons who came and said that that they enjoyed my presentation.

Thanks to Madhu & Neha for so skillfully conducting the WADe Conference!

AR. DORJI YANGKI | Bhutan Dear Vertica and Madhu, it was one of the best conferences I have attended. Love from Bhutan.

AR. ASHWIN & ANJALI LOVEKAR | Pune

I must say it is an incredible amount of work to put such an event together. I am sure the platform will get only bigger and better and with a lot of relevant issues to handle.

AR. SEEMA PuRI | Mumbai Way to go Vertica, I think you’ve shown that a determined woman can do anything. Super event!!!

AR. DEAN D’CRuZ | Mozaic, Goa For a movement that is just 2 years old, you and your team did a wonderful job!

AR. CHRIStOPHER BENNINGER | Pune I spent time amongst old and new friends at the WADe conference. Everything was so nice, beginning with the hotel and the logistics. Everything was really nice. Be proud of yourself and your team for such a wonderful job.

NEILESH KENKARE | Mumbai WADe was one of the most memorable events I have attended. In fact felt more like a close family function where you literally feel sad while leaving.

Didn't feel like an architectural event for even a minute. Best part was seeing all Asian women architects on the same stage with superb array of works.
