Is your software ready for the new year? Discover the furniture trends in 2024!

The year 2024 promises to be the next stage of revolution in the world of furniture, and the furniture software industry will play a key role in this transformation. From modern shapes to smart features, let’s check out what furniture trends will dominate in 2024 and whether your software can keep up with them.

Smart Home Offices

With the growing importance of remote work, furniture software should support the design of smart home offices. Ergonomic furniture that integrates with technology will be a key component, enabling an efficient and comfortable work environment. Your software should have an extensive library of dimensionally variable components, libraries of furniture hardware manufacturers and modification features.

Personalization at a new level

The furniture industry will head toward an even higher level of personalization. Customers want to customize not only the shape and color of their furniture, but also its advanced features to create a perfectly tailored product. An example is the aesthetic placement of smart home technology in built-ins: among other things, adjusting the height of furniture, placing inductive chargers in tables and desks so that they become a design element.

Sustainable design

Sustainability will become a key element of furniture trends in 2024. Furniture software should support furniture design and production with an eye toward reducing waste, using green materials and optimizing production processes.

Material quality above all

Customers’ requirements in terms of quality and variety of materials are very high. Also, making them into round shapes (another strong trend), combining several textures on one panel, bent elements, require the ability to create their own base of material legends and accurate and efficient pricing.

Co-created design

Collaborative teamwork on a single project in the furniture industry is nothing new: but the higher demands of designers for a smooth and stable environment already are. Keeping track of files in PDM and working on a shared server are ways to reduce errors and quickly transfer the model to the next job. Test this combination by downloading the WOODEXPERT demo.

Smart warehouses and logistics

Furniture software is not limited to design. Trends in 2024 will also include smart warehouses and optimization of logistics, allowing for faster and more efficient production and delivery of furniture. Importantly: the most convenient solution is packaging as a module, not as a separate software. This allows you to automatically flip items from the design and quickly create packages, choose filling types from the catalog, generate documentation and labels for them. Sound familiar?

In 2024, as we celebrate innovation and creativity, we are witnessing furniture become not only utilitarian objects, but also an expression of our identity and values. This is the time to invest in development, using the tools and technologies offered by furniture software.

The future of furniture is now, and we are ready for an extraordinary journey into the world of furniture innovation. Embark on it together with WOODEXPERT: download a demo and discuss for a presentation.
