From Sketch to Showroom: The Design Process Behind Avian's Latest Collection
Each furniture piece in Avian's newest collection at our MG Road Furniture market reflects a journey of careful craftsmanship, creative innovation, and deliberate design development. Join us on an intimate journey through our creative process, from the initial spark of inspiration to the final masterpiece that graces our showroom floors.
The Birth of Inspiration
Our design process begins with deep observation of both nature and contemporary living needs. For our latest collection, we drew inspiration from the organic curves found in Scandinavian landscapes, embraced bohemian design principles and sustainable materials, and combined them with the practical demands of modern urban living. Each design concept starts as a response to real human needs, whether it's maximizing space in compact apartments or creating multifunctional pieces for hybrid work environments.
Initial Design Development
The journey from concept to creation involves multiple stages of refinement. Our designers begin with hand-drawn sketches, capturing the essence of each piece, including marble dining tables, marble centre tables and marble side tables that serve as focal points in bedroom design. These initial drawings evolve through countless iterations, with each line and curve carefully considered for bed styling coordination and bedroom harmony with bedsheets. Digital modeling follows, allowing us to visualize the pieces from every angle and make precise adjustments to proportions and details.
Material Selection and Innovation
The choice of materials plays a crucial role in bringing our designs to life. Our latest collection features:
- Sustainably sourced hardwoods for durability and timeless appeal
- Premium printed fabrics selected for both comfort and longevity
- Innovative eco-friendly finishes that protect both the furniture and environment, applied to everything from lounger bases and leather sofa upholstery to coordinating carpets
- Strategic use of metals to add contemporary touches while maintaining warmth, especially in outdoor furniture and lounger designs.
The Prototyping Phase
Before any piece reaches production, it undergoes rigorous prototyping. This crucial stage involves:
- Creating full-scale models to test proportions and ergonomics, including dressing table configurations and lighting placement optimization
- Evaluating comfort levels through extensive user testing, particularly comparing fabric sofa versus leather sofa experiences
- Assessing the structural integrity of each design, from dressing furniture stability to seating durability
- Fine-tuning details like joint connections, finish applications, lighting integration, and fabric sofa versus leather sofa material transitions.
Colour and Finish Development
Our colour palette development is a thoughtful process that considers both current trends and timeless appeal. The latest collection features:
- Warm grey tones that compliment modern interiors, particularly in L shaped sofa and formal sofa upholstery
- Rich navy blues that add sophistication
- Natural wood finishes that showcase material beauty across L shaped sofa frames and dressing table surfaces
- Subtle green hues that bring nature indoors, beautifully integrated into dressing area accents and formal sofa details.
Craftsmanship in Production
The transition from prototype to production maintains our commitment to quality. Each piece is crafted with:
- Traditional woodworking techniques combined with modern precision
- Hand-selected materials that meet our strict quality standards
- Attention to detail in every joint and finish
- Multiple quality control checkpoints throughout production
- Artisan-quality printed fabrics that are individually inspected for pattern alignment and texture consistency
Quality Assurance and Testing
Before reaching our showroom, each piece undergoes:
- Structural testing for durability
- Finish quality inspections
- Comfort and functionality assessments
- Environmental stress testing to ensure longevity
The Journey to the Showroom
The final stage involves careful curation of how each piece is presented. Our showroom displays are designed to:
- Showcase the versatility of each piece within our European furniture and outdoor furniture ranges.
- Demonstrate practical applications in different settings, from indoor European-inspired spaces to outdoor living areas.
- Help customers envision the furniture in their own spaces, whether creating European-style interiors or outdoor retreats.
- Highlight the unique features and craftsmanship details inherent in both our European furniture tradition and outdoor furniture innovation.
Sustainability Commitment
Throughout the entire process, sustainability remains a core focus:
- Using responsibly sourced materials
- Implementing eco-friendly production methods, inspired by the boho aesthetic.
- Creating durable pieces that stand the test of time
- Minimizing waste through efficient design and production.
Customer Feedback Integration
The design process doesn't end with production. We continuously gather customer feedback to:
- Inform future design iterations
- Improve existing pieces
- Understand evolving customer needs
- Guide our innovation process
From the first sketch to the final showcase, each Avian piece represents our dedication to excellence in furniture design and manufacturing.
