After our visit I received a lot of knowledge on the various types of wood and its properties. We saw a lot of work being done in office modular furniture and partitions and panelling, for cabins and even for retail and commercial purposes.
They extensively use particle board and I noticed how the rowtering machine cuts minute cuts and performs the detailing bit so accurately.
After the cutting is done the cut pieces go for a process which is called edge banding where the exposed sides of the board are pasted with a plastic band of the same colour as that of the board, to acheive an even and finished look.Edge banging can be of two types, flat banding and curved banding.
Featherlite is known for product innovation, value additions and after sales service. It has manufacturing capabilities to produce more than 800 chairs and 7000 workstations in a month.
This gave me an outlook into the broadder dimension of furniture and its design capabilities and made me learn and get a closer view on what the different properties of wood are and how it is very important in designing different and quality products, keeping in mind the advantages and disadvantages of some materials can pose during the design process.
Featherlite thus manufactures and markets the following:
. workstations
. executive desks
. chairs
. Conference & Training
. sofas
. cafeterias
. retail fixtures
