Unveiling the mystery of "African Redwood"

GO Jiaju Newsletter Recently, foreign media reported that an African wood called "rosewood" (the so-called African rosewood) is being snapped up by China's antique furniture manufacturers, and the smuggling phenomenon is serious, and from Rosewood. In terms of supply, China's seven major suppliers are all in Africa.
For the people of Suzhou, antique furniture is no stranger, and the "Su Zuo" gold-plated sign has long been known. However, the reporter's investigation found that the above-mentioned "rosewood" does not seem to be seen by Suzhou craftsmen, even if some new Chinese furniture manufacturers are more willing to choose the better quality Hedgehog rosewood.
Suzhou craftsmen love "tradition"
"Long things", ancient means extra things, not necessary for daily life. The Suzhou literati Wen Zhenheng wrote "The Long Objects" and wrote some things about "hunger, no food, no cold clothes." One of the "several couches" is dedicated to Su Zu furniture. In the eyes of literati, furniture is an elegant play that can be used for evaluation and appreciation.
Up to now, in the eyes of Suzhou artisans, this is still the case, so the choice of wood still adheres to the "tradition". Song Weidong, the intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Su Zuoming, told reporters that antique furniture has been blooming all over the country, and the variety of wood used has increased. There are many woods from Africa and South, but our Suzhou craftsmen are boutique. The route is to make furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so it will still choose good materials from these old producing areas in Southeast Asia, such as the lobular rosewood in India and the red rosewood in Myanmar."
Guangfu, as a gathering area of ​​antique furniture in Suzhou, about 200 to 300 companies are engaged in the production of antique furniture, and Song Weidong's Sufu Redwood Craft Factory is one of them. In terms of operations, Ni Guoliang, secretary-general of Suzhou Furniture Association, told reporters that although the economic environment is not good, the Suzhou antique furniture industry has maintained a stable situation this year, which is basically the same as that of the same period of last year. The feeling of the oasis in the middle.
In Ni Guoliang's view, the unique value of antique furniture is the value of collection. Simply put, it can be appreciated, can be passed down, and its audience can be locked in. A group of consumers who understand furniture and financial resources. In addition, Song Weidong said that the antique furniture looks at the model, the second looks at the craft, the third looks at the material, and the Su Zuo. This sign guarantees the “art level. Many local companies in Suzhou are all craftsmen, and Suzhou craftsmen love to use good materials, and “ Since the wood is like gold, so from the perspective of the entire market in Suzhou, both enterprises and consumers are relatively mature, so they are relatively stable.
Hedgehog rosewood is just right. Since Suzhou antique furniture enterprises don't catch cold on "rosewood", who is paying for these "rosewoods" in the foreign media?
In the interview, the reporter found that the new Chinese furniture seems to have a soft spot for African wood. Look, the piece in the corner is rosewood. "Jiangsu Yupo Home General" said that Li Sheng pointed to a piece of wood lying in the corner of his office and told reporters that this was a sample that my friends showed me before, but this material is very general. "Yu Lisheng said that rosewood" is basically not used in antique furniture or in new-style furniture.
Yu Lisheng told reporters that at present, as far as Suzhou is concerned, the most used wood for new Chinese furniture is the hedgehog rosewood. The reporter from the Ministry of Commerce issued the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China domestic trade industry standard mahogany commercial name, the hedgehog rosewood is also among them, the popular name is African huanghuali, the hedgehog purple "tan is the wood in the redwood national standard, its The wool is currently 6500-7000 yuan / ton, and this 'rose wood' is not in the national standard, the price, the wool is 2000-3000 yuan / ton, the finished product is almost 4,000 yuan / ton."
“Su Li” is famous in the new Chinese furniture circle in Suzhou. Zou Feng, general manager of the brand operation management center, told reporters that the Hedgehog rosewood is “just right” in terms of the materials used in the new Chinese furniture. The "rosewood" in the foreign media port is used by some companies to impersonate some good mahogany materials. The price is cheap, the texture looks similar, and the hardness is enough, but it is actually too much.
"There are many fans, fans , and so on." This is a question of Rosewood. However, the reporter found in the interview that no matter whether it is antique furniture or the development of new Chinese furniture for five or six years, Constantly attracting the attention of consumers, more and more people are willing to pay for these furniture, and the demand is indeed growing. In popular terms, there are many "girls, fans".
Yu Lisheng told reporters that Yuper has been established less than two years ago, and its output value can reach tens of millions. They are optimistic about the market prospects. At present, their main consumer groups are some middle-aged 35--40 years old," Now some foreign furniture is also adding a lot of Chinese elements."
"New Chinese furniture has a modern element based on the inheritance of the traditional enamel structure, which is younger and more in line with the aesthetics of modern people." Ni Guoliang said that the new Chinese furniture focuses on practicality and aesthetics, and the lines are protected by Ming and Qing furniture. The influence, while antique furniture is a heritage, can be used, can be collected, can be viewed.
In Zou Feng's view, although the new Chinese furniture is relatively "new" but it is developing very fast, it is constantly accumulating fans, but whether it is antique furniture or new Chinese furniture, it is a kind of inheritance of Chinese culture. The key to the many young people is that they represent a natural and simple way of life. With the high level of economics, the consumption concept of ordinary people has changed. They pursue higher quality and more connotation. In fact, we are Often referred to as 'consumption upgrade', like a kind of furniture, in fact, is to want to achieve a lifestyle and living state that it represents."
