THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
As the modern world has begun, the money conservation of humans is now more
difficult. Nowadays, the price of lots and houses is still increasing and affects many people
who come to get small home. Various stressors and unproductive have involved having a
limited space room. Having a small space is a hustle of in-house functionality and one of
the struggles most people have encountered.
Multifunctional furniture brings adaptable solution; this furniture can be used for
several activities at once. These furniture pieces not only showcase modern designs but are
also carefully crafted from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and easy upkeep.
This eliminates concerns about frequent damage and the need for replacements. Selecting
minimalist furniture with high-quality materials is essential Top of Form. This not only
adds to space efficiency but also extends the lifespan of the furniture, offering a cost-
effective solution in the long term. The simplicity, practicality, and minimalist design of
multifunctional furniture not only save space but also provide economic benefits.
Multifunctional furniture goes beyond just saving space, it also proves to be a wise
financial investment. Its straightforward design and practicality contribute to both space
efficiency and economic benefits. Being able to serve more than two functions in a single
piece, the cost-effectiveness of multifunctional furniture becomes evident, offering an
economical alternative to buying separate items for different purposes.

But today saving time, space, and reducing human effort should be a
consideration for furniture designs mainly for domestic use. By definition, this furniture

Definition of terms
The following terms used inEngineering
The National the study University
were defined conceptually and
operationally
for easier understanding of the contents of the study.
AutoCAD. It is a computer-aided tool that is used to draw and draft plans. It
allows making precise drawings on the computer (Ecker, 2019). In this study, it is the
software application used in creating plans for the project.
Ergonomics. Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned
with the understandiong of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and
the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to
optimize human well-being and overall system performance. (ErgoPlus) In this study,
ergonomics involves evaluating and adjusting factors such as seating design, workspace
layout, and tool usability to minimize physical stress, promote user satisfaction, and
enhance overall productivity in the development of the multifunctional chair with ice
cooler.
Polystyrene. A light usually white plastic used especially for putting around
delicate objects inside containers to protect them from damage, or for putting around
something to prevent it from losing heat. (Cambridge Dictionary. In this study, polystyrene
refers to a versatile material that can be molded into various shapes and forms, making it
suitable for applications such as packaging, insulation, and disposable food containers. The
operational definition ensures a clear understanding of polystyrene as a polymer with

specific properties, emphasizing its practical

Engineering characteristics in the scope of the
research.
Multi-functional. Multi-functional is the organization of domestic architectural
spaces that are close to each other and contain a multifunctional space surrounding a
courtyard. (Cambridge Dictionary). In this study, the term "multi-functional" is a design
or
product capable of serving more than one purpose or accommodating various activities
within a single entity. This characteristic emphasizes versatility, where a particular item or
system offers functionality beyond its primary or traditional use. Practical applications
include the incorporation of features or elements that enhance the adaptability and utility of
the design, catering to diverse user needs and preferences.
3D modeling. Is the process of creating three-dimensional representations of an
object or a surface.3D models are made within computer-based 3D modelling software
such as Sketch up (Futurelearn, 2022). In this study, 3D modeling is the process of creating
a digital representation or simulation of a three-dimensional object or environment using
computer software. This involves the use of geometric shapes, textures, and virtual
materials to generate a visual and often interactive model.

CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE
The researchers encountered difficulties in finding the availability of materials and
in searching for an expert who specializes in creating this type of product. Nonetheless,
despite encountering some minor issues in finding someone to create the product, the
researchers were able to resolve it quickly. During the research, the researchers came
across an individual on a social media platform who is involved in making this type of
product.
The
researchers spoke with Mr. Randy Araza they had initially chosen to go over the Multi-
Functional Chair's dimensions, structure, and prospective supplies. After discussing the
planned product, the researchers decided that the materials to be used for the said product
will be sourced by the Mr. Randy Araza to make it more convenient and less hectic for
them, considering their geographical distance from each other. Nevertheless, the
researchers made sure to stay updated and maintain communication with Mr. Randy
Araza regarding the process and progress of their commissioned product.
The researchers carried out layout and creating
to envisage the general look, purposes, and sizes of each component of the proposed chair
with ice cooler. The most suitable elements to employ during the construction of the
Multi-functional chair have been figured out by the researchers. Materials were chosen
based on their suitability and accessibility as well as the Mr. Randy Araza’s knowledge
and experience, that is in position to

oversee the majority of the construction process. The constructing methods are able to
begin whenever the basic products are currently obtained and the necessary tools have
been put together.
The workers have begun constructing the multi-functional chair with an
ice cooler using the following materials: steel, welding, styrofoam, paper with
flourpaste, fiberglass, fiber mat with hardener, paintbrush, and lacquer thinner.
