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
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
But today saving time, space, and reducing human effort should be a
consideration for furniture designs mainly for domestic use. By definition, this furniture
is a design that gives useful functions for indoor and outdoor activities. The multi-
function of this furniture will perfectly fit for houses that have chill spot or mini bar.
The researchers devised this study with the primary goal of designing and
developing the multi-functional chair with ice cooler. This research was guided by the

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter describes the project development process, which includes the pre-
design stage, design stage, development stage, preliminary evaluation, and the final design.
Research Design
This study utilized a developmental research design that was concerned with the
techniques and strategies commonly used in lifespan development research. This research
design was particularly important when describing development and change due to the
interest in what should change and what does not change with age. In this study, it serves as
a framework for understanding the evolution and growth of the Multi-Functional Chair
with an ice cooler, emphasizing the dynamics of its design concept across different stages.
It is pertinent to understanding how the design of the Multi-functional chair with an ice
cooler evolves, considering factors such as user needs, preferences, and technological

Conceptual Framework
To achieve the study's desired output, the researchers followed the step-by-step
procedure. The study was constructed by using a plethora of sources, this includes books,
articles, the internet, and ideas and observations from prior relevant research
The design and development of a multi-functional chair with ice cooler was the
goal of the research. The research paradigm as shown displays the link between the
knowledge will come from the gathered information and ideas of the researchers and the
data is conducted at the beginning of the study. Skills have an important role in the study
as these will be the key traits to make the project successful. The researchers will have
enough skills in AutoCAD and SketchUp to create the design of the project.
The process includes the planning, designing, animation, and production of the
project to make the desired product/output. The researchers made plans for the project
through careful research on articles, books, and other related literature i. e. the internet. In
terms of designing, the researchers rely on the standard dimensions set by the
Ergonomics of Interior Guides to make the project precise and accurate. The researchers
use 3d software such as SketchUp and AutoCAD to create an animation of the output to
show its functionality. The researchers then proceed with developing the project by
following the measurements, procedures, and materials that will be used. The output is
