Pottery is a type of traditional craft that has taken root in the history of art and culture of the Indonesian society. This fact is supported by various forms of ancient earthenware crafts which discovered since prehistoric times and the emergence of pottery craft centers in various parts of Indonesia, including in Rendeng Village, Malo District, Bojonegoro Regency. The changing of market needs and tastes today are a common problem faced by the traditional craft industry, including pottery crafts. Local wealth inside the traditional handicraft design which increasingly disappearing is one of the common concerns. The development of this contemporary pottery design aims to revive the skills of pottery craftsmen and the local culture of the Bojonegoro society in a modern design style. The research and development produced three sets of earthenware teapots, namely a turtle-shaped teapot set, a white combination of turtle-shaped teapot and teapot set inspired by Bojonegoro local coffee. Design research uses action research methods which consist of three design cycles. The application of this research method is useful to improve the capabilities and creativity of pottery craftmen in designing craft designs. Each design development cycle has four stages, namely planning, observation, action and reflection. The results of the study show that the color of the local clay Bojonegoro can characterize contemporary designs with a blend of colors and materials. The local way of drinking coffee as an inspiration for ‘kothok’ coffee teapots set has the potential to commercialize products and new experiences in drinking coffee.Key words: teapot, pottery, contemporary, Bojonegoro
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.
Badan Promosi Pariwisata Kota Yogyakarta (BP2KY) dibentuk dengan tujuan mengembangkan promosi pariwisata di Kota Yogyakarta. Sebuah situs profil yang resmi dibutuhkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan informasi masyarakat terkait promosi pariwisata di Kota Yogyakarta sekaligus untuk meningkatkan pemasaran digital dan pembentukan kehadiran digital atau digital presence. Artikel ini membahas pembangunan situs resmi BP2KY menggunakan content management system (CMS) Wordpress. Website dibangun melalui beberapa tahapan yaitu focus group discussion (FGD), data gathering, perancangan, implementasi, evaluasi, dan pelatihan. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian ini berupa sebuah situs profil yang mengandung informasi tujuan serta peran BP2KY, profil pengurus BP2KY, informasi tempat wisata di Yogyakarta, dan berita terkini. Situs tersebut dapat diakses pada https://bp2ky.or.id/. Pengujian situs dilakukan dengan user experience questionnaire (UEQ) yang disebarkan untuk melihat pengalaman pengunjung. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan evaluasi positif untuk daya tarik, kejelasan, efisiensi, ketepatan, stimulasi, dan kebaruan dengan nilai di atas 0.8. Sedangkan hasil benchmarking UEQ menunjukkan hasil “excellent” untuk daya tarik, kejelasan, efisiensi dan stimulasi, serta “good” untuk ketepatan dan kebaruan. Pelatihan untuk pengurus BP2KY juga dilakukan agar situs memiliki kontinuitas
Abstrak. Semen merupakan salah satu bahan utama untuk mendirikan sebuah bangunan, penggunaannya semakin hari semakin banyak seiring dengan pembangunan di berbagai wilayah di Indonesia. Tumpukan kertas semen bekas yang mudah ditemui di lingkungan sekitar juga belum banyak dimanfaatkan menjadi produk fungsional, sehingga usia pakainya tergolong singkat. Padahal kualitas dan karakteristiknya lebih baik daripada kertas bekas lain, khususnya dalam hal menahan beban. Melalui penelitian desain berbasis eksporasi bahan ini, kertas semen bekas dapat dikembangkan menjadi furnitur anak yang ergonomis dengan desain terinspirasi bentuk hewan (gajah). Teknik utama yang diaplikasikan dalam pengembangan desain ini adalah laminasi & spiral wound tubing, aplikasi kedua teknik ini termasuk inovatif karena umumnya pemanfaatan kertas semen bekas dalam produk kerajinan hanya dengan teknik pilin dan anyam. Metode penelitian desain yang digunakan melalui 3 tahap utama, yakni identifikasi, visualisasi dan materialisasi ide berdasarkan optimalisasi karakteristik materialnya (Ashby, 2010). Berdasarkan hasil eksplorasi material dan teknik pada kertas semen bekas, karakteristik yang menonjol adalah ringan dan kokoh. Selain itu, penelitian pengembangan desain ini juga bertujuan untuk meningkatkan nilai komersial kertas semen bekas dan membuka peluang baru dalam berbagai pengembangannya, khususnya aplikasi pada produk-produk struktural. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa teknik laminasi dan spiral wound tubing layak diaplikasikan menjadi material furnitur anak, serta aman dan nyaman dipakai untuk anak berdasarkan hasil uji coba.Kata kunci : kertas semen, laminasi, spiral wound tubing, furnitur anak. Abstract. Cement is one of the main materials to construct a building; its use is increasing day by day along with the development in various regions in Indonesia. A stack of used cement paper easily found in the environment is still not widely utilized as a functional product, therefore the age of use is relatively short. Even though, its quality and characteristic is better than other waste papers, especially in term of holding load. Through this material-exploration-based research design, waste cement paper can be developed to be ergonomic children furniture with the design inspired by animal shape (elephant). The main technique applied in this design
