Chinese Furniture Innovation, Localization And Internationalization,

The dissertation is concerned with the creativity of Chinese furniture. The idea that the system of Chinese furniture develops independently has been held for a long time. But we find how scarce our experience and capacity are the moment we are faced with the challenges from the outside. By exploring the history of communication between the Chinese furniture system and the foreign furniture system, the author aims to find out the evidence that Chinese furniture system did absorb and borrow a lot form foreign cultures, and prove the fact that Chinese furniture system is really an open-system. The localization advantage we enjoy and the hinder we face from international markets are analyzed, and the proposal is advanced that a new path should be explored by introducing the experience form developed regions.
