GUANGZHOU, China, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In the fast-paced rhythm of modern urban life, a home has evolved beyond being merely a place to rest, it has become a sanctuary for emotional recharge. While smart technologies continue to redefine convenience and efficiency in household living, another facet of quality home life is quietly gaining momentum: the emotional resonance of nature and simplicity. This alternative vision comes to life at Phase 2 of the 137th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair), offering a refreshing interpretation of lifestyle aesthetics grounded in nature. The Warmth of Wood: Where History Meets the Modern Home The booth of Shanghai Dandou Home Furnishing Co., Ltd. exudes the rich texture and warmth of aged timber. Specializing in home furniture and decoration, Dandou embraces a philosophy of revitalizing recycled wood, utilizing wood salvaged from historic European and Chinese structures to produce handcrafted and vintage-style furniture. "The texture on the furniture exhibited here isn't artificial aging. It's naturally aged," explained Shirley Wu, a representative of Dandou. Each piece bears the imprint of decades of exposure to the elements, creating a narrative in every grain. Committed to sustainability, Dandou creatively repurposes off-cuts and scrap pieces into decorative items, extending the material's lifecycle and embodying a zero-waste philosophy. Studies have shown that wood surfaces can reduce stress and contribute to a calming environment. Dandou's seamless integration of these elements into furniture design brings nature indoors, enhancing everyday spaces with quiet elegance and emotional warmth. Simplicity and Lightness: A Natural Philosophy in Ceramics This emotional affinity for nature extends into everyday rituals, such as choosing a bowl or cup. Chaozhou Yongxuan Domestic Ceramics Manufactory Co., Ltd. captures this sentiment with a collection that responds to growing consumer interest in tactile, minimalist aesthetics. "The concept of the collection is 'returning to nature,'" said Vanessa Xu, the Sales Director of Yongxuan. The design leans toward simplicity but is adapted for modern functionality. Departing from the traditional perception of handmade ceramics as heavy and bulky, Yongxuan applies refined techniques to achieve thinner, lighter forms while preserving artisanal character. Displayed items, such as cups, plates, bowls, and spoons, feature earthy glazes and textures that suggest a direct link to clay and soil, evoking a sense of grounded beauty. These pieces offer more than utility; they elevate the dining experience into a sensory moment of calm and mindful intention. A Return to Emotional Value in Home Living Whether through the storied grains of recycled wood or the grounded textures of handmade ceramics, these products on display at Phase 2 of the 137th Canton Fair reflect a new dimension of quality home life, where nature, emotion, and design converge. In an era of rapidly advancing technology, a home is no longer just a place to keep furniture, it is a space for memory, comfort, and self-expression, while these thoughtful, tactile creations invite a slower, more mindful way of living.
GUANGZHOU, China, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Phase 2 of the 137th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair), taking place from April 23 to 27, spans an impressive 515,000 square meters of exhibition space. With 10,313 participating companies, 273 more than the previous session, this phase centers on quality home life. In every household, the kitchen stands as a cornerstone of comfort and function. Yet even small daily challenges, like managing kitchen waste, can disrupt the rhythm of home life. That's why even a simple product like a trash bin has become a beacon of innovation, with exhibitors at the Fair showcasing diverse solutions that cater to real consumer needs. One standout comes from EKO Group Ltd., which exhibited a semi-round smart sensor bin that exemplifies the fusion of design and technology. This model features motion-activated, hands-free operation, a silent-closing lid, a removable inner bucket for easy cleaning, and a fingerprint-resistant stainless-steel body. Its sleek design reflects a growing consumer desire for functional products that elevate both hygiene and style in everyday spaces. While some companies are enhancing waste management to improve the quality of home life, others are reimagining waste itself to elevate the essence of quality living. Intco Recycling Resources Co., Ltd., a high-tech manufacturer specializing in renewable resource recycling, is pioneering the transformation of recycled plastics into elegant, high-quality home décor. At their booth, buyers found photo frames, mirrors, table accessories, and other decorative items, all crafted entirely from recycled materials. These products not only reduce environmental impact but also prove that sustainability and sophisticated design can coexist. The response from international buyers was enthusiastic. Du Mingze, Marketing Manager at Intco Recycling, noted that most inquiries on the first day came from European and Central Asian markets, reflecting a growing global appetite for eco-conscious living solutions. From intelligent waste bins to recycled home items, Chinese companies at the Canton Fair are showing the world how innovation and environmental consciousness can go hand in hand. As the global demand for innovative and sustainable home products continues to grow, the Canton Fair demonstrates a powerful vision: a future where everyday living is elevated through design, enabled by technology, and sustained by green thinking.
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- THIRDREALITY has launched the Smart Switch MT1, a battery-powered smart switch using Matter over Thread technology. Designed for Toggle/Rocker. It (requires Thread Border Router)connects instantly with Apple, Google, and Alexa systems without needing a separate hub. Control lights and appliances with zero lag, and enjoy a full year of battery life—no electrician or rewiring required. Matter Over Thread Smart Switch For busy mom Rachel in Austin, Texas, installing smart switches had always felt like a renovation project—until she discovered Smart Switch MT1. "My kitchen lights are on an old toggle switch, and every smart switch I looked at needed rewiring," Rachel explains. "With Smart Switch MT1, I snapped it on in minutes—Only a screwdriver is needed for easy installation. Now I tell Siri to turn the lights on while juggling groceries and kids." The Switch mounts directly over existing rocker or toggle switches and mechanically controls them. It works with Apple Home, Google Home, SmartThings, Homey, and Home Assistant—as long as it supports the matter protocol and has a thread board router. In Seattle, Jason, a busy dad of two, uses the Smart Switch MT1 to simplify life at home. "I set it up so the hallway and kitchen lights turn on when we come home, and shut off when we leave. No more yelling, 'Did someone leave the lights on?!'" he laughs. For Jason, that means no lag, no rewiring, and no stress. "I didn't need to buy an extra hub—just connected it directly to my Apple HomePod mini, and it instantly made our daily routine smoother without us even thinking about it." The MT1 reacts instantly, doesn't rely on Wi-Fi, and has been running for over a year on the same two AAA batteries. It helps Jason focus on family—not switches.
