Minimalist furniture is one of the products that are popular in recent years. The high market demand for this product requires the Jepara furniture industry to be able to fulfill it. The overall design is basically simple, plain straight and without carving. This simple minimalist trend is indeed heavily influenced by giant furniture companies such as IKEA, ethnicraft and others that display furniture products with simple modern designs. That’s why the minimalist furniture model that is widely ordered is also not far from the designs of these giant companies.
The presence of minimalist furniture directly affects the Jepara furniture industry, which used to make classic carved furniture. It doesn’t necessarily turn off Jepara carving furniture, but it’s really felt to decrease the demand for carved furniture since this minimalist trend existed. Many workshops that used to make carved furniture turned to making minimalist furniture. Furniture showrooms that used to install carved furniture are now also displaying this model of furniture.
The main reason for consumers to choose Jepara teak minimalist furniture products is because of the trend, modern minimalist furniture that is currently popular. What is called a trend, will directly change market tastes. Information from abroad, especially from social media about furniture trends, is also very influential on the tastes of the domestic market.
The second is because minimalist furniture is easy to maintain. Its simple shape and not many carvings make it very easy to maintain cleanliness. Just use a damp cloth or duster without complicated tools and extra effort. In contrast to antique furniture, which tends to have a lot of carved indentations that are a bit difficult to clean. And because of its simple shape, its construction strength also tends to be stronger than antique furniture. Carpenters are easier to make strong connections on straight media than on curved media.
For the third, which may be the reason why the demand for minimalist furniture is increasing is the number of new housing units that have small rooms. Models of houses and apartments are indeed very appropriate if you adopt this type of furniture. Most minimalist furniture sizes are small and practical, very suitable for modern room designs. You can definitely imagine how mismatched the room of a house or small apartment is, and filled with heavy carved furniture. And you can see for yourself how widespread housing and apartment development is, right? well this is also one of the reasons why minimalist furniture is so popular today.
