Furniture is the only whole of objects with which humans share their living and working environments in daily life. Since the ages of human settlement, people found solutions to their need for shelter and sanctuary, albeit primitive, using the means of nature; through centuries, they created different furniture and by-products. In time furniture became an object of status. Thanks to increasing technological capabilities, meeting larger masses’ need for furniture became possible. 

 

Traditional production methods continue to exist in furniture industry since centuries and in this respect, they increase the value of wood which is the main material of furniture and give it an identity. With the increase and popularity of modern production methods, small workshops manufacturing furniture become important side-suppliers. Today, thanks to an increase in companies manufacturing industrial furniture and programmes supporting entrepreneurship, the number of companies playing a more effective and active role in national and international projects grows. Furniture industry boosted by our country’s logistic and geographical location becomes an important industry power in Europe, Turkic republic and Africa. While our country gains economic strength thanks to the expanding global commerce network, international commercial relations and organisations, furniture’s share in industry gains more importance. In Turkish furniture industry, design is one of the most important elements in the final consumer’s decision process. From past to present, a wider range of products are being introduced to domestic and international markets with the increasing diversity of materials and growing production capacity lead to the introduction. Brands leading the worldwide furniture industry and professionals of related sectors come together in trade fairs to assess and evaluate new trends, materials and production methods and generate new sources in terms of solution partnership.
