Indonesian Furniture on Display

Why does every furniture manufacturer creates the antique design? This is a question frequently bears in my mind.

The phenomenon of antique design furniture has been growing very fast in late 15 years. By carefully saying, I guess this becomes trend for Indonesia Furniture exporter creating their products for export purpose. It is weird that rare of them try to produce modern furniture design.

The question is: it is driven by the market? Maybe economic student will say (quoting JB Says): supply creates its own demand. The next question is: Why doesn't they produce antique design? Is modern design now being deteriorate?

This question is interesting to investigate due to the massive trend of antique design production for most Jepara based manufacturer exporter.

Greediness of humankind will destroy the life of human itself. This statement aligns with furniture industry where many trees are excessively cut to create home apparel called furniture. Several actions need to be implemented to avoid this earth from destruction.

Fortunately, several furniture companies is now initiating the "Green Campaign" to promote environment sustainability. One of wood material which becomes rare is teak. This plantation is massively grow in Indonesia. This natural resources then begun to be exploited by industry for the sake of profit seeking.

The Indonesian Furniture manufacturer and exporter now begins to be generous with earth by producing recycled furniture using reclaimed teak material. This effort somehow is a positive answer due to environmental concerns done by furniture industry.
