YOGYAKARTA-INSPIRED DINING ROOM FURNITURE DESIGN

Yogyakarta is a beautiful cultural region that is located in Java Island, Indonesia. According to Ir. Yuwono Sri Suwito, Directorate General of DIY Culture in 2016, Keraton is the “heart” of Yogyakarta, where much history is formed and serves as the foundation for the development of culture, art, and customs of residents wwof the Special Region of Yogyakarta and its surroundings. Though Yogyakarta is not resistant to external and internal infuences such as modernization and urbanization, the Palace retains its traditions and culture, inspiring the author to create Yogyakarta culture, particularly the Palace as a concept of designing dining room furniture. With all the implementation of the cultural concept of the Special Region of Yogyakarta into furniture, an object that is found commonly on a daily basis, it is hoped that the public, particularly designers, will acquire knowledge more deeply and be inspired to use the archipelago’s culture as an inspiration for their work.
