“…However, unlike the local market, the product for export needs a new configuration, highlighting aspects as meeting delivery deadline, adequacy of installed capacity, high level of quality, trust, reputation, among others. Therefore, it is important to carry out a global benchmarking to identify the way to change organizational structure, considering, the embedded technological standard, as is the case of I4.0 technologies to explore opportunities (Bravi, Murmura & Santos, 2022).…”

The furniture industry is a traditional segment, with a global presence, and as in other markets and segments, globalization has contributed to creating an environment of fierce competition between small, medium and large companies. China, the European Union and the United States are the biggest producers and also the biggest consumers of furniture products. Brazil is also included in this market, but with lower production and consumption volumes. The objective of this study is to analyze panorama of the furniture industry in Brazil and abroad, in relation to the adoption of industry 4.0 technologies to foster new working conditions and productivity. In this work, authors opted for the format of reflective theoretical essay, based on the result of systematic review of literature, performed in Scopus, in February, 2023, employing keywords “Furniture manufacturing” and “Industry 4.0”, with any other restrictions. Only 47 articles were published in this timeline. Analyzing these articles was evidenced that main obstacles to the adoption of technologies I4.0 is related to the insufficient proofs of the advantages and benefits that these technologies may provide for furniture manufacturing process, lack of the awareness of the employees to enable internalization of knowledge about technologies of 4.0 industry. To accomplish this will be necessary to perform actions to establish collaborative networks, both internal and external, to validate the new organizational practices/ routines, and consolidate its adoption in the manufacturing environment. As conclusion of the study is possible to state that the lack of knowledge of I4.0 technologies and their benefits, by workforce and organizational managers also, lack of financing sources and of government policies to foster adoption of technologies I4.0 are among main obstacles to the adoption of the technologies of industry 4.0. Reducing the distance between universities and industries, investing in R&D, using already available and low-cost technologies and adopting proven and established production methods were also highlighted as premises for I4's technologies and that may to succeed in the furniture segment. I4.0 technologies show the potential to maximize productivity and profitability by reducing lead time, operating costs, increasing quality, flexibility of the operational process, in addition to differentiated design.

“…After establishing the basic model, starting from the structure and function of the product, according to the overall morphological characteristics of the bookcase and the combination between the shapes, the appropriate mortise and tenon parts are selected to enhance the stability and overall strength of the furniture [17]. At present, the bookcase is mainly the joint between the surfaces, the two sides are perpendicular to each other, and the cross-sectional area of the intersection is large, screening the current commonly used tenon structure, listing several types of tenons that meet the structural conditions of the target product, and summarizing its structure and corresponding characteristics, as shown in Figure 4.…”

With mortise and tenon structure furniture as the design carrier, the cultural connotation of traditional symbols is absorbed and new ideas for the inheritance and development of traditional culture in modern life are explored. Starting from the analysis of the modeling characteristics, decorative characteristics, and allegorical connotations of the swastika, its feature elements is summarized, the keywords of the design elements are screened, applications and extensions on this basis are designed, the basic model of furniture products is established, then the tenon and tenon forms that meet the strength requirements and material requirements according to the model are screened, the overall construction of tenon and tenon structure furniture products is completed, and the physical production of the products is guided. Combining the swastika form with the tenon structure bookcase design, the traditional symbolic feature elements are effectively integrated into the design of the tenon structure furniture, which verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the method and provides a reference for the design research of related tenon and tenon products.
