Gardashlar furniture company, which manufactures furniture based on the needs of individual and corporate clients, has announced the launch of smart furniture.

According to the head of the company, Ali Mirzaev, the production of smart furniture was a long-planned step.

“I think that technology should not bypass the furniture industry. Just as different devices can simplify people's work, we need to make their lives more comfortable by adding functionality to our own furniture. That is why, being Gardashlar Furniture Company, we decided to produce smart furniture based on human behavior. At the initial stage, we plan to apply this trend to office furniture. Our study shows that most private and public sector employees spend most of their time in a sitting position. In many cases, this seriously affects both health and quality of work. Since the office desks we provide are adjustable, people can work behind them, both sitting and standing. It will also help prevent overweight and spinal problems.”

The head of the company talked on the technological advantages that they added to office desks, noting that these additions are necessary elements in a person’s daily life.

“Previously, office furniture had limited functionality, but now you can create more opportunities through a combination of furniture and technology. At the initial stage, we intend to install a cooling system for laptops on office tables with adjustable height, heating to maintain the warmth of the liquid in the cup, a wireless charger for the phone, and 2 USB access points. The prototype of smart furniture has already been made by us. We are ready to increase production depending on the number of orders. This is the first step among local furniture companies, and we plan to expand our activities in the future and will try to apply the integration of furniture and technology into other types of furniture. "

Note that the company also plans to sell furniture in the US market by 2020. The furniture company Gardashlar has already begun negotiations with several companies in this area in America. Currently, Gardashlar Furniture Company is represented in 16 furniture categories throughout Azerbaijan.

“Gardashlar Mebel”, a gold member of the “Caspian European Club” in Azerbaijan, took part in the “Second Republican Forum of Foreign Trade Participants” in Baku.

Ali Mirzayev, director of the “Gardashlar Mebel” company, who attended the forum, said the event was important for foreign trade participants.

"We support the reforms implemented by the State Customs Committee and the Ministry of Taxes over the past two years to ensure transparency. I am very glad that the name of the company "Gardashlar Mebel" is among the participants of the "Green Corridor". As a company, we estimate becoming 505 of the number of “Green Corridor” participants in a short period of time and exceeding the turnover to $ 8 billion as part of the attention paid to the development of entrepreneurship in the country. As “Gardashlar Mebel”, other advantages, such as the creation of a favorable business environment within the “Green Corridor” system, the provision of a rapid transition in customs and increased transparency in customs control, will further increase the export potential of local market participants”.

It is worth to point out that “Gardashlar Mebel” is working to introduce private furniture concepts to its customers in 2020. The company plans to produce more practical and functional furniture based on customers’ behaviors.

“Gardashlar Mebel”, which produces furniture in more than 15 categories in Azerbaijan, has become a gold member of the Caspian European Club.

The director of "Gardashlar Mebel" Ali Mirzayev remarked about the development of local production while speaking at the event.

“I am very glad that the attention paid to the development of local production in Azerbaijan is increasing day by day. Accelerating this process will create opportunities to open additional workplaces in the furniture industry, as in every sector. We believe that increasing customs duties which applied to ready furniture imported into the country will contribute to the development of local production. In addition, appropriate exemptions will be applied to customs duties on the import of raw materials and equipment for local producers. It is true that today a 20 million decrease is observed in the volume of 12 billion pieces of ready furniture imported into the country. We evaluate it as a result of support for increasing local production, and we believe that the figures for local furniture production will be higher in the future. "

Sharing his experience in foreign countries, the director of the company said that many foreign countries offer companies to invest in their country. Therefore they are interested in providing any support to foreign furniture manufacturers who want to export furniture to their country. "We have submitted our proposals to the Ministry of Economy and we assume that they will take the right steps to improve the country's economy in this aspect."

We want to point out that “Gardashlar Mebel” company has supported the progress of the design field by acting as the general sponsor of the recent 5th design forum.

“Gardashlar Mebel”, one of the largest and most modern furniture manufacturers in Azerbaijan, has announced plans for 2020.

The director of the company Ali Mirzayev said that 2019 was a successful year for Gardashlar Mebel.

“The focus on the development of the non-oil sector in 2019 affected the growth of our domestic production. As in previous years, our customer satisfaction continued with a positive tendency last year. Also, as a company, we were awarded the nomination "Furniture Manufacturer of the Year" in 2019. We estimate all these and other innovations as a continuation of our plans for next year. "

Announcing his plans for 2020, the director of the company noted that the strategic development map is broad. "This year, as in previous years, we will continue to invest in human capital. We plan to organize training in relevant fields to make factory employees more professional. Starting in 2020, we aim to do a lot of work to enlighten customers. As “Gardashlar Mebel”, we plan to add more practicality to the furniture we produce by focusing on learning customer skills”.

"OUR FURNITURE DESERVES TO STAND SIDE BY SIDE WITH WORLD BRANDS "

Giving information about the export of their products to foreign markets, Ali Mirzayev said that this issue is a priority for them. “We are interested in exporting our furniture under the "Made in Azerbaijan" brand.

Although we have achieved certain outcomes in this course, we do not want to be satisfied with it. We know that the furniture we produce deserves to stand side by side with other world brands.

We will use all possible marketing tools to achieve this goal faster. “We want to mention that “Gardashlar Mebel” currently has two exhibition shops all over the country. One of them is located at 12A Hasan Aliyev Street, Baku, and the other is located at 8F Binagadi Highway, Bilajari settlement.

“Gardashlar Mebel” which specializes in its special concepts in the furniture sector, has introduced a new concept as part of a domestic market research program. This time, the company offered a unique solution to protect books in libraries operating in the country from external influences. According to the director of the company Ali Mirzayev, the protection of books in libraries from external influences has always been a priority for them:

“We started working on this course by analyzing the current situation in libraries. Then, based on the information we received we found such a unique solution that would serve to protect books from external influences for a long time. The proposed concept can be made in any size, depending on the width of the space. The structure can move comfortably along the lines to be installed on the floor. Moreover, the boards on the structure allow you to divide the books into categories. Installation and dismantling of the structure are carried out in a short time. To protect the books during the repair of the place, it is possible to assemble the shelves in one line by moving the steering wheel on the structure in the appropriate direction. We believe that the unique solution we offer will serve to preserve our cultural heritage”.

We want to mention that the “Gardashlar Mebel” company, which operates under the slogan "Just wish", is engaged in the production of furniture in more than 15 areas. The company is also a participant in many large and small projects in the country.
