Abstract

The combination of bamboo material and used newspaper is an idea to increase innovation and product creation for Small Medium Enterprises in the Sleman Regency. Bamboo as a natural and local material is widely used by Indonesians for various needs, especially for traditional crafts and furniture. Bamboo processing skills have been traditionally developed in the areas where bamboo plants are plentiful, particularly in some villages in Sleman Regency. Bamboo furniture design development plays an important role in increasing competitiveness among the craft centers in Sleman Regency. Therefore, this study aims to develop bamboo furniture designs with a combination of used newsprint material. The used newsprints were chosen due to recycled material application. It is processed using the roll technique in this combination material. This research applies the generic product method and explains the iterative design process of bamboo and newspaper easy chair design. It also produces three bamboo easy chairs prototypes that apply a knock-down concept and a flat package. Through the third stage of prototyping, the bamboo chair design can achieve a volume weight of 26.4 kg (actual weights 5.8 kg) with 5 modules and 10 nuts and bolts. Additionally, the combination of bamboo and newspaper is also considered as added value for sustainable bamboo furniture. Besides utilizing recycled materials, this easy chair design also supports the ease of shipping products to adapt to online sales trends during the COVID-19 pandemic.
