Indonesia in the last four years (2007-2010) was known to be Hungary’s biggest rattan furniture supplier. Head of the Indonesian Trade Promotion Center in Budapest told the National Agency for Export Development of the Industry and Trade Ministry Wednesday that Hungarian importers have become increasingly informed about Indonesian rattan furniture.
Hungary has stopped importing rattan from Germany, Austria and Taiwan, and increasingly relied on Indonesia for rattan furniture.

In 2005, Indonesia was still Hungary’s third biggest supplier after Romania and Germany, and in 2006 second only to Germany.
But from 2007 to 2010, Indonesia was on top of the list of suppliers of rattan furniture to Eastern Europe, followed by Malaysia, Austria, Vietnam, the Philippines and Hong Kong.

According to Hungary’s statistics, Hungary’s rattan furniture imports have increased from 25.22 million US dollars in 2005 to 60.86 million dollars in 2006, and further to 202.51 million dollars in 2007, and to 599.62 million dollars in 2008.
The imports in 2009 declined to 551.51 million dollars and in 2010 increased to 642.04 million dollars.
Indonesia in 2005 secured 16.86 percent of the rattan furniture market in Hungary, 14.04 percent in 2006, 24.90 percent in 2007, 38.04 percent in 2008, 47.39 percent in 2009 and 57.47 percent in 2010.

In the meantime, Hungary’s total imports in the last six years reached a record high in 1994 amounting to 1.58 billion dollars, dropped to 1.16 billion dollars in 2009, and further down to 1.12 billion dollars in 2010.
The decline was caused by increased inflation of the Hungarian currency. In 2009, the inflation reached 28.8 percent, and in 2010 dropped to 23.6 percent.

Why Libya?

As the manufacturing industry is not well developed, almost all finished and semi-finished products have to be imported. In this frame; Libya’s young, fast growing and educated population need alot of goods from refrigerator to car, from clothes to computer…

Libya, an OPEC member is the richest African country.The GNP of the country is 12,703 dollars

Per capita and its population has reached to 7 million.Libya is geographically the doorway to African nations with combined populations of almost 1 billion.With the creation of SIN-SAD, the African Union’s first initiative, Libya has become an important trade bridge between Europe and Africa as it creates a duty-free trade opportunity over an extensive geographic area.

ABOUT TRIPOLI

In order to enhance SME growth in this sector through increased competitiveness, GTZ RED in corporation with the regional branch of the Indonesian furniture and handycraft association Surakarta (Asmindo Komda Surakarta) conducted a Design Development Program. 

Design Development Program is a service programme. As a mediator and dialogue between industry, designers and university, this program has been designed to increase the competitiveness of the furniture manufacturers in Solo region, Central Java through developing their design competencies.

The outcome of the program shall be enhanced designs of their products, which will lead to more buyer inquiries and to boosted sales figures. It is geared to allow the manufacturers to create confidence within the companies design departments that they are capable of properly interpreting and executing designs for the so called contemporary furniture market 

The program addresses the following problems:

• Lack of human resource quality that affected the consistency in quality and delivery, price and the awareness of the producers/contractors concerning the global market competition

• Lack of innovation and development of product design 

The program consists of three main components and takes a 5 months for the implementation, started from June until October 2007.

The first component of the program gives inputs about furniture trends and recent developments in attractive market segments. A classroom training on design management was conducted in Solo, Central Java, from 18 – 20 June 2007. 32 designers consists of 19 in-house designers, 3 freelance designers, 6 lecturers from design faculty from local universities, and 4 owners of companies were joint this training.

Furniture producers in Solo region use many local materials in their furniture. The availability of these materials is one of the forces that propel the Solo region furniture export industry to become more creative by combining these indigenous materials together with traditional materials in design and manufacturing of products for the world market. The brief description of the materials are mentioned as follows:

Rattan
Rattans are climbing palms – belonging to the subfamily Calamoideae – that provide the raw material for the cane-furniture industry. Most (70%) of the world’s rattan population exist in Indonesia, distributed among Borneo, Celebes, Sumbawa islands. The rattan’s stem, referred to as cane, is solid and strong, stripped of its leaf sheats, uniform, light, and flexible. It can be bent and will hold various shapes. The canes can be used as whole form for furniture, or split, peeled or cored for matting and basketry.

Water Hyacinth
Water hyacinths comprise the genus Eichhornia of free-floating perennial aquatic plants native to tropical countries. Water hyacinths have been widely introduced throughout North America, Asia, Australia and Africa. Water hyacinth is harvested, dried then tightly plaited to form a strong rope then applied to a furniture frame. Water hyacinth furniture may be light to dark Brown in color.

Sea Grass
Sea Grass in an abundant resource is washed, dried and spun into rope, normally used in its natural light green color. Sea grass furniture is constructed from a wooden frame and usually woven with a rattan spine.

Banana Leaf

Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants in the true grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Some of its members are giants, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. New shoots of some of the larger species can grow over 1 meter per day. They are of high cultural significance in East Asia where they are used extensively in gardens, as a building material, furniture products, as well as a food source.

Mahogany Wood
The name mahogany is used when referring to numerous varieties of dark-colored wood, originally the wood of the species Swietenia mahagoni. Mahogany is a reddish-brown hardwood with a medium grain. It is used for formal style tables, cabinets, and other pieces of furniture.

Furniture Industry of Solo

Furniture production found in the four sub-regions contributed from 0.64% to 3.83% to the local GRDP. The role of furniture production is very significant in some sub-regions that contribute more than 3% to their total GRDP. At the local level, all produce furniture mostly within smal and medium enterprises (SME’s), implying a definite importance in terms of employment opportunities.

The production process in the sub-regions is characterized by hand-made production processes through subcontracting relationships. With the number 216 producers and exporters (the average labor around 50 persons per company) and 5,200 home industry (the average labor around 6 persons per industry), furniture industry in Solo region has absorb around 44,000 employment.

Craftsmanship

When focusing on the craftsmanship of the manufactures of Solo region, most companies seems to be quite able to produce the kind of furniture with the craftsmanship that is expected by the buyers simply because they have been buying products from the same producers for more than 10 years and on going. The manufacturers seems to meet the demand of their clients. The source of raw materials does not seem to be a problem for the manufacturer and there seems to be a good supply of quality materials that enables the craftsman to produce quality products with few complaints. The furniture industry of Solo as well as the craftsmanship has room for improvement and co-operation with the players in the industry looks very promising for the near future.

Solo Design in Mind is about uniquely furniture which designed and manufactured by the designers and producers in Solo region.

Exploring the design, the most predominate characteristic is the lack of frivolous decoration for the sake of adornment. Form is indeed function. With this in mind, there are many avenues of design to follow all of which lead to an honest expression of purpose and a statement of ideal.

Design plays an essential role in the advancement of the furniture industry, particularly so in the Indonesia as well as Solo Region furniture industry. As the importance of design grows ever more significant, it is imperative that furniture manufacturers elevate their production status to that of a design-oriented one. The realisation on the premium reward and competitive advantage that original creations can command has encouraged an awareness towards the importance of design in furniture manufacturing. With the increasingly competitive global market, furniture producers in Solo Region need to be innovative to stay in the competition.

To support the furniture producers in Solo region in order to face the global competition in the furniture industry, GTZ Regional Economic Development (RED) Program in co-operation with the regional branch of the Indonesian furniture and handycraft association Surakarta (Asmindo Komda Surakarta) conducted a Design Development Program. This program is designed to create a sustainable input for the manufacturers in the area of design management and product development and to enable them in the long run to improve their performance.

It is geared to allow the manufacturers to create confidence within the companies design departments that they are capable of properly interpreting and executing designs for the so called contemporary furniture market. This program also been designed to estalish the dialogue between the university/vocational trainings and producers in the furniture industry.

This brochure is produced as a promotion tool to position the Solo region in the global furniture market, as well as to exposure both the designer and the region to receive recognition for the ability to not only design but produce quality products that are saleable in the furniture market.
