Abstract
While School furniture is a design challenge as it relates to health and creating satisfying experiences that will in turn increase the efficiency of learning outcomes of students, there is no research exists on Product-user Experience Design in School furniture. This study explored design as the science of creating a meaningful user experience that goes beyond looking at design as the science of solving user problems.
In designing research to test the Product-user Experience, the researcher used the Product-user experience model, developed from the ideas of Mahlke & Thüring (2007) and Mahlke (2007) as a guide to design the research into 3 steps which are related as follows:
Step 1: To do user research method, Step 2: Design and develop classroom furniture by using the principles of Product-user experience Design and the integration of theories, Step 3: To do Produce design Evaluation in order to know the consequences of the user experience.
The findings show that school furniture design can be based on Product-user experience Design, and the findings also show a comprehensive approach to determining what will enhance the user experience, that is, in addition to the Utilitarian Value, the Hedonic Value that affects, emotional reactions also affect the user. And it also has a higher positive impact than the previous two components. The findings fill a gap in product design knowledge, that often lacks the proof of important emotional aspects and human experience interacting.
Keywords: Furniture Design, School Furniture, Product-user Experience Design, Utilitarian Value, Hedonic Value, Emotional Reactions
