The furniture market is constantly evolving and is made of many companies who want to expand their range of products, including in their catalog also a line of seats.
However, this process can be complex, especially for small and medium-sized companies, since it requires specific product knowledge and careful planning of the different design and production steps.
So, how to do in such cases?
Rely on an experienced seat manufacturer capable of supporting a small company in this process, anticipating and, consequently, avoiding the occurrence of any kind of problem.
At Sititaly we happen to be contacted by small or medium companies that ask us for support to expand their collection and that is why we decided to share our know-how; in this post we will explore the different stages of developing a seating collection and how an experienced supplier can help make your design dream a reality.
1. Implementation of the project
The first crucial phase in the development process of a seating collection is the development of the project.
At this stage, two scenarios usually occur: some companies are already in possession of a project made by a designer; others start from scratch. In the second case, the seating provider can play a key role in advising the company in choosing an experienced designer. This designer will work closely with you to develop the concept, taking into account your style, customer needs and target market.
2. Development of three-dimensional mathematics
This phase requires specific technical skills and a deep understanding of ergonomics, comfort and design. An experienced supplier will have a team of specialized technicians able to translate the designer’s concept into a three-dimensional physical form. This phase is fundamental to ensure that the seat is comfortable, functional and aesthetically pleasing.
3. Creation of the 1:1 scale model
Once the three-dimensional mathematics has been developed, we proceed with the creation of a 1:1 scale model. This prototype will allow you to evaluate the appearance and comfort of the seat in a concrete way. It’s an interactive phase where you can make changes and revisions to make sure your final product meets expectations.
4. Construction of the mould
After obtaining the approval of the prototype, we proceed with the construction of the mold. This is a crucial step for large-scale production. The creation of the mold requires specialized skills and the use of sophisticated machinery. The seating provider will be able to manage this process efficiently, minimizing production time and costs.
5. Production of test sampling
Finally, when the mould is ready, the sample can be produced. This sample represents your final product, ready to be launched on the market. The experienced supplier will ensure that the production complies with the quality standards and that the product meets all the specifications set out in the initial design.
In conclusion, for small and medium-sized furniture companies wishing to launch their own seating line, collaborating with an experienced supplier is the key to success. This approach allows you to approach every stage of the project professionally, minimizing risks and ensuring a high-quality product that meets the needs of customers.
