Brand culture refers to a unique cultural atmosphere and values formed by an cprporate in the course of operation, and is an important part of the brand. It embodies the core values of the brand, the brand culture concept and the code of conduct of employees, and has an important impact on the development and operation of the brand.

Design your business logo and determine the color elements

The five core principles of logo design include simplicity, recognizability, adaptability, originality and color strategy. These principles jointly guarantee the functionality, aesthetics and uniqueness of the logo in brand communication, making it the core carrier of the brand image. ‌‌‌‌

‌1. Principle of simplicity‌

‌Visual subtraction‌: By simplifying the combination of graphics, text and colors, the cognitive cost is reduced, making the logo easier to remember (such as classic cases such as Apple and Nike). ‌‌‌‌

‌Abstract refinement‌: It can be expressed in two forms: figurative graphic simplification‌ (such as Starbucks mermaid) or geometric abstraction (such as Adidas three stripes). ‌‌

‌2. Recognition principle‌

‌Industry attribute association‌: It is necessary to intuitively reflect the characteristics of the industry to which the brand belongs (such as the image of the tire man in the Michelin tire logo). ‌‌‌‌‌

‌Brand concept communication‌: convey brand values ​​through symbolic graphics (such as the Nike hook symbolizes victory and vitality). ‌‌

‌3. Adaptability principle‌

‌Multimedia compatibility‌: It needs to adapt to the display needs of different media such as printed materials, electronic screens, metal engravings, etc. ‌‌

‌Size flexibility‌: It remains clear and recognizable after being enlarged or reduced, and ensures that information can be effectively conveyed in monochrome mode. ‌‌‌‌

4. Originality and color strategy‌

Color is an important element in logo design. You should choose a color that reflects the brand characteristics and ensure that the logo can maintain good recognition in different sizes and media.

Plan the space according to the site conditions

In commercial spaces, site planning directly affects the style and material selection of furniture. It is a very important link in the early stage of the project.

Custom furniture can fully follow the brand tone and space design style of the corporate. Through customized processing of color, material and shape, it forms a visual unity with the overall space and conveys a professional brand image. The site conditions of each project are different, such as area, layout, lighting, and moving lines, which all require scientific planning to optimize furniture design and maximize the use of space.

At the same time, our custom reception furniture and conference room will also consider user experience. Through the preliminary analysis of space flow and usage scenarios, the needs are accurately met. For example, in a narrow reception area, a customized curved reception desk can maximize the use of space while maintaining a smooth moving line; in an open venue, the combination of a modular lounge sofa and a bespoke reception desk can divide a comfortable waiting area.

Site planning and furniture design are closely combined to achieve a balance between function, aesthetics and cost. As a professional custom furniture supplier, frch furniture team has always insisted on advancing furniture design and space planning simultaneously to ensure that the final effect not only meets practical needs but also highlights brand value.

Design reception area desk and chairs

In brand image building, the reception desk is not only the entry area of the physical space, but also the first window to show the brand culture and brand spirit to the outside world. A well-designed office reception desk leaves a deep first impression on visitors, inspires employees’ sense of belonging, and conveys the brand’s value concept.

Usually when designing furniture in the welcome desk area, we focus on three aspects:

1. Size design

Flexibly customize reception counter of different sizes according to the actual space layout and functional requirements, and configure a certain number of negotiation tables and chairs, so that the commercial reception desk can effectively utilize the space.

2. Material selection

Normallythe materials concerns plywood, mdf board, artificial stone, marble, stainless steel, acrylic, etc when build a modern reception desk. Different materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. During select materials the most important should be consistent with the overall decoration style of the venue and reflect the brand culture.

Produce the reception desk and chairs

When you start to produce your business reception desk, choose a reliable furniture supplier is very important. It is not a simple price comparison, but requires the establishment of scientific evaluation criteria to comprehensively examine the supplier’s capabilities in all aspects. This system should include multiple dimensions such as quality reliability, cost-effectiveness, delivery capabilities, service capability, and long-term development potential.

Quality assurance capability is the primary criterion for evaluating suppliers. The quality of customized reception desks covers three aspects: material quality, process quality, and design quality. In terms of materials, suppliers should provide plates, metal parts, and surface treatment materials that meet national environmental protection standards. In terms of process, suppliers need to demonstrate their ability to handle details, such as edge grinding, seam treatment, and surface coating uniformity. Design quality is reflected in the rationality of ergonomic application, the scientific nature of functional layout, and aesthetic expression. Evaluation methods include on-site inspections, inspections of semi-finished products and finished products, etc.

Cost composition analysis: A corporate case shows that although supplier A’s quotation is 15% lower than supplier B, the total cost after two years is 22% higher because its product life is 30% shorter and the maintenance frequency is 40% higher. Wise buyers will use the “total cost of ownership” (TCO) model for evaluation. In price negotiations, as a purchaser, you should seek the solution with the best value rather than the lowest price. At the same time, you should be wary of abnormally low quotations, which are often a signal that the supplier uses inferior materials or lacks professional experience.

Delivery reliability is crucial to project progress control. The supplier’s delivery capability includes not only the existing production equipment and capacity utilization, but also its flexibility for emergency orders and its ability to expand production to handle peak demand. Data shows that in the custom furniture industry, only 57% of suppliers can guarantee on-time delivery, and delayed delivery will cause an average delay of 18 days in the overall progress of customer projects. The supplier’s logistics management system is also a focus of evaluation, including the reliability of its transportation partners. Mature suppliers will develop a detailed project schedule, clarify the time nodes and deliverables of each stage, so that the purchaser can grasp the production progress.

The service capability is an extension of the supplier’s value, including design consulting services, installation and commissioning services, after-sales maintenance services, and problem response speed. A survey of 200 companies found that 92% of customers believe that the supplier’s after-sales service is as important as or even more important than product quality.
