Adaptasi Bentuk Daun Jati Dalam Perancangan Kursi Kayu Berkonsep Organik

Abstract

This study explores the adaptation of teak leaf forms in the design of an organic wooden chair through a biomimicry approach. The research is motivated by the growing demand for contemporary furniture design that integrates functionality, aesthetics, and a connection to nature. A qualitative design-based research method was employed, including literature review, visual observation of teak leaf morphology, form analysis, and design transformation into a wooden chair. The results indicate that key characteristics of teak leaves, such as broad silhouettes, prominent central veins, and natural curvature, can be effectively applied to the chair’s backrest and armrest. This adaptation produces a chair design with a strong organic character while maintaining functional comfort. The study contributes to the development of biomimicry-based furniture design and highlights the potential of local natural elements as a source of inspiration for sustainable and contextual product design
