There is no absolute oligarch in the current whole-house customization industry, but as leading companies continue to exert efforts in this field in the future, new oligarchs may emerge.

①Chen Qinxian × Tan Haoshen: originality is not "fancy", it must be "down-to-earth" and enter the "homes of ordinary people"
Chen: Originality should become a necessity in the future for every brand, whether high, middle or low, or an oligarch. I have said before that design is a necessity, not a luxury. This year I added another sentence: in the future, art will be a necessity, not a luxury. I think art will also enter thousands of households in the future. We hope to find some materials that originally existed in China and combine them with ceramic tiles so that they can truly become something that consumers and even designers can use, rather than just shelving them on the shelf. We must have a clear understanding of originality. There are many companies that are also doing original work, but they emphasize being new and unique, making them very cool and dazzling. In fact, they are not widely used in the space.
Tan: Whether a material is good or bad depends on how the designer uses it. Therefore, our original creations must not be particularly flashy or unconventional. If this is the case, originality is meaningless. . Originality, I think, is a lifestyle originality, not just a product.
