When the 2024 Paris Olympics organizing committee needed to furnish their venues, they selected DHF after a demanding evaluation process. This Chinese furniture manufacturer is now providing over 4,200 chairs and 400 tables for the world’s premier sporting event – an impressive achievement for a company that launched its international operations just over a decade ago in 2011.
Since day one, DHF recognized that their combination of Italian design brilliance and Chinese manufacturing efficiency could win big internationally. Fast forward to today, and they’re selling 70% of their products overseas – from beachside restaurants in Australia to swanky boutiques in Europe. Their impressive client portfolio includes major retailers like Amazon, Target, XXXLutz, and ZARA HOME, demonstrating their ability to create furniture with global appeal.

DHF’s market differentiation stems primarily from their distinctive design philosophy. Their Italian design teams infuse European sophistication and creativity into every product. Their flagship offering – the Pongo chair – exemplifies this approach. Far from being merely another plastic seating option, this refined monoblock design has achieved remarkable commercial success, with over 500,000 units sold across American and Australian markets alone.

Their newest innovation, the Robyn PP chair, illustrates their commitment to continuous product development. Available in both armless and armrest configurations, it’s specifically engineered for outdoor settings where aesthetic appeal must coexist with weather durability. Throughout their product showroom, each piece demonstrates a careful balance between visual appeal and functional comfort – recognizing that even the most attractive furniture fails if it doesn’t provide a satisfying user experience. As one American client noted, the “excellent comfort and quality” creates lasting customer loyalty.

Operating from a 50,000-square-meter production facility staffed by 300 skilled professionals, DHF transforms Italian designs into finished products. With over 15 years of industry experience, they’ve developed an effective manufacturing strategy that integrates imported components with locally-produced elements to maintain technological advantages without excessive cost increases.

Their problem-solving capabilities extend beyond production. When a European e-commerce partner faced challenges with shipping costs-a common issue for furniture distributors – DHF’s R&D team developed an innovative solution by redesigning the chair for easy disassembly and reassembly. This modification resulted in more compact packaging, reduced shipping expenses, and enhanced customer satisfaction.
Despite recent global supply chain disruptions, DHF has maintained operational stability through regular equipment updates, optimized production planning, and careful inventory and waste management. While these operational details may lack glamour, they’re essential for delivering competitive pricing without compromising product quality.

DHF is challenging the perception that eco-friendly furniture must be prohibitively expensive. They’re implementing innovative materials including ocean-bound plastic, wood-plastic composite, and even coffee grounds composite materials. They also utilize FSC-certified wood, ensuring their timber components originate from responsibly managed forest resources.
This commitment to sustainability delivers business advantages beyond positive public relations, helping them satisfy stringent environmental regulations across international markets. As they expand from Southeast Asia to South America along the Belt and Road initiative, they're introducing their distinctive combination of style, quality, and sustainability to emerging markets.
