Morphology
The meaning of 'furniture company' is directly and compositionally derived from 'furniture' (large items for furnishing) + 'company' (a business), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a business that sells or manufactures furniture. This noun+noun compound pattern is common and mirrors constructions in many other languages, making the phrase immediately predictable for learners.
Etymology
Furniture company paints a simple picture of furniture, like chairs and tables, and a company, a group that sells goods. That's why it means a 'business' that makes or 'sells' furniture.
