The low-carbon trend continues to blow, and the concept of low-carbon life is popular, which coincides with the prevailing trend of environmentally friendly and healthy solid wood furniture. In the purchase of solid wood furniture, consumers in addition to pay attention to a variety of different solid wood materials, may also encounter an unfamiliar term - Qumu furniture.
This kind of furniture technique that has spread from Europe to Europe in the 1990s, with a simple and generous design, has a stylish, smooth curve, but also has a higher price than ordinary solid wood furniture. In the end, where are the mysteries of the furniture that will turn, and what stories are there, let’s find out now.
"Steamed" curved wood furniture
The so-called curved wood furniture refers to the solid wood material, using the machine to steam processing the solid wood, so that the solid wood is bent into a certain shape after being heated, thus avoiding the toothing of the wood, so the curved wood furniture is "steamed" . It is precisely because of this heating and bending technology that the bending parts are no longer relied on or reduced by the glue to achieve the environmental protection and low carbon requirements.
The biggest feature of curved wood furniture is its unique curved curvature. In the process of making, the bending and curvature of the curved wood furniture fully considers the curve of the human body, and it is not easy to feel fatigue even if sitting for a long time, making the body feel more comfortable. In addition, the design of curved wood furniture, whether it is a curve or an overall shape, reflects the simple style of European modern furniture, which not only conforms to the aesthetic concept of modern people, but also makes the practicality and decoration very well integrated.
Not all bends are curved wood furniture
The production of curved wood furniture utilizes the principle of elasticity of wood, and replaces some joints of the gums with bending. Therefore, the biggest feature of curved wood furniture is its curvature and bending. But this does not mean that all curved solid wood furniture is curved wood furniture.
The reporter visited the major stores and found that there is a solid wood furniture with the same curvature and curvature on the market, but the curved part of the furniture is not a process of heating and pressing. It is understood that there are two ways to bend this type of solid wood furniture: one is to bend through the teeth, that is, the curved parts are joined together by different woods, which avoids the high cost and high-tech production of the curved wood processing. Of course, the price is relatively low; the other method is to cut out the effect of the whole piece of wood, so that the arc is usually not large, and the loss of material is caused.

Materials
The current Qumu furniture is mostly made of birch and ash. It is usually made of birch with higher strength and lower price as the inner layer, and the beautiful ash is used as the outer layer. There are also a few selected imported beech wood as the main material for curved wood furniture. This kind of eucalyptus has a high hardness, a natural and elegant texture, and a fine material.
Origin
The appearance of Qumu furniture originated in Europe in the late 19th century. An Austrian furniture manufacturer named Mihael Tonet accidentally discovered the method of using steam to deform the wood at high temperatures, so he began to try this. Curved wood made furniture. Later, the family of Qumu furniture continued to grow and develop, and the emergence of Rococo curves increased the popularity of Qumu furniture. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Qumu process was improved and treated with special techniques to make almost all wood of Qumu furniture. Parts can be bent into any arc.

maintenance
The maintenance of curved wood furniture is basically the same as the maintenance of solid wood furniture. You can use Bi Lizhu to clean the furniture daily; avoid using rough cloth when wiping to avoid damaging the paint surface; since the furniture is bent by heating and pressing, it should be avoided to be placed near the heat source, and it should not be exposed to sunlight to avoid deformation. Cracking; it should not be placed in a damp place to prevent the furniture from being deformed by moisture.
Multi-layer glue bending and shaping technology
At present, the most advanced glue technology is high-frequency medium heating method. Different from the general heating glue technology, its object is the molecule of the material, which makes the molecules repeatedly polarized in the high-frequency electric field and generates high temperature by strong friction. Gluing is achieved. This technology can make the glued parts of each layer heat and heat evenly at the same time, ensuring the balance of water content and stress of each part, making the size and shape of the parts after the setting stable, and it is not easy to crack even if it is bent at 360 degrees. The general heating gluing technology does not meet this process requirement.
Qumu furniture identification method
There are many homes with a curvature that can be seen on the market, and not all of these furniture can be called curved wood furniture. In addition, even for the curved wood furniture, depending on the molding method, there are certain differences in the curvature of the curvature, the fit of the human body and the overall shape.
According to Zhong Shan, the director of marketing department of Zhenmei Qumei, it is difficult to bend and shape the whole piece of solid wood after heating and pressing. Therefore, there are two main methods for making curved wood furniture on the market: one is the bending of solid wood veneer. That is, the combination of solid wood and plate material is used to form a certain curvature by heating and pressing; the second is that the solid wood piece is bent, that is, the solid wood is made into a sheet shape, and the multi-layer glue is heated and bent. This kind of process is more difficult than the first one, and the curved wood furniture made of solid wood sheets has a large curvature and is not easy to crack, so the price is relatively high.
When purchasing, the consumer can judge whether it is a tooth-joining technique by observing whether the curved part has a tooth interface, or can judge the curvature of the wood by the texture of the wood, because the wood grain of the curved part should be It is tilted. In addition, it is also possible to observe the multi-layer gluing from the side slits. Of course, it is also necessary to obtain this information from the purchaser.
