Why Foshan is the heart of design

Why Foshan is the heart of design

Foshan, a city in southern China, has long been synonymous with high-end manufacturing. But in the last decade, it has transformed into a global hub for furniture design, rivaling traditional centers like Milan or High Point.

The Ecosystem of Excellence

What sets Foshan apart is its complete vertical integration. Within a few square kilometers, one can find world-class tanneries, hardwood suppliers, specialized hardware manufacturers, and some of the world’s most skilled furniture artisans.

The FAMUCHY Philosophy

At FAMUCHY, we leverage this ecosystem to push the boundaries of what’s possible in leather furniture. By having our workshop in the heart of this district, we can source materials and prototype new designs with a speed and precision that is unmatched anywhere else in the world.

Bridging Tradition and Modernity

Foshan’s heritage is rooted in craftsmanship. We combine these centuries-old techniques—like hand-stitching and traditional wood joinery—with modern ergonomic research to create products that are both beautiful and functional for the 21st-century home.
