Slow Bake at the Hongyuan Sauna Furniture Factory - Industrial Photos in Panyu

I’ve visited numerous furniture factories in the past but always to photograph the furniture, not the venue.

While product photography can be entertaining in its own right, it’s hard to beat an editorial assignment covering an industrial location.

The Hongyuan Furniture Company factory in Panyu, Guangzhou, is a particularly charismatic location, with piles of wood shavings, buzzing power tools, and dappled natural light streaming in through skylights.
