Furthermore, SZFDI can also function as a trading group by performing all necessary duties including the design, manufacturing and shipment of orders. Here at SZFDI, an estimated RMB 2 million has been invested by the local government for the research and development of original Chinese furniture design.

New materials and technologies introduced at the design institute have added much to the creativity of Chinese furniture design. For example, bamboo wood was heavily favorable and well received by the international market in 2007, giving SZFDI’s recently introduced Hylly product line the design institute’s first taste of credibility. The Chinese furniture industry is making the transition to original design and the Shenzhen Furniture Design Institute SZFDI is where it all begins.
