DESIGN PROCESS

Various data had been collected to support the design process, both in terms of cultural knowledge and the needs and interests of the target market, using quantitative and qualitative methods. The cultures of Yogyakarta, specifcally Keraton, were then identifed again using the IMO (Inner, Middle, Outer) method to learn more about the culture’s physical elements, function elements, and meaning elements. The author also did a 2022 trend research fnd out prediction about interior trends and product designs that will continue to evolve in the future so that furniture designs will remain up to date.

Before achieving the ideal design results, the process of sketching, simplifying, and exploring the application of inspiration to the design are carried out until the fnal design is developed into a prototype on a 1:1 scale. The prototype is then tested on 5 users to determine the product’s quality in terms of design concept, application of inspiration to product design, product’s shape, size, and comfort.
