This research aims to explore the use of anthracite coal as an alternative material in jewellery making. Anthracite coal has distinct physical characteristics, such as a deep black colour, natural lustre, and high density and hardness. The core issue addressed in this study is how the exploration process, by adding chemical materials such as epoxy resin and polymeric thermoplastics, can enhance the quality of anthracite coal for use in jewellery. The objective of this study is to examine the potential and material characteristics of anthracite coal for use in jewellery product design. The research was conducted using a design-by-doing method, involving hands-on experimentation at the Legam Jewellery studio. The results indicate that the proportions of materials, forming techniques, and heating methods significantly affect the final material quality, in terms of both structural strength and visual appeal. The final design is a minimalist jewellery set with circular forms and textures tailored to young users' preferences. The study concludes that anthracite coal has significant potential as a jewellery material, adding value to abundant natural resources. The benefits of this research include advancing knowledge of alternative materials, fostering growth in the creative industry, and empowering communities through innovative jewellery products.

Sports bikers often face the challenge of carrying luggage in a practical and safe manner. Various types of bags, such as backpacks, sling bags, and waist bags, are used to fulfill this need. However, there remains a lack of locally designed products specifically for sport bikers, particularly in the waist bag category. A survey of sport bikers indicated a significant need for functional waist bags that fit the desired size and features. By developing waist bags that meet the specific needs of sport bikers, local manufacturers can not only tap into an open market but also contribute to improved user comfort and safety. The purpose of this research is to investigate the dimensions and features that sportbike and Naked bike riders need in a waist bag to improve their comfort and practicality while riding. The final result of this research is a waist bag with a dynamic design and features that can help riders.

Janera Leather is a startup that addresses the problem of leather-industry waste, particularly leftover cowhide pieces that are often considered worthless and discarded or sold cheaply. In fact, these leftover cowhide pieces have strong, flexible, and durable characteristics that almost resemble intact leather. Although they are only in pieces, they retain high utility and aesthetic value. This problem prompted Janera Leather to develop a functional, valuable fashion accessory design using a creative, efficient approach. This design aims to create competitive, entrepreneurial products that meet the needs of active women aged 20-40. The research process involved conducting literature reviews, observing competitors, interviewing target markets and craftsmen, and distributing questionnaires. The design employs the Collin Clipson method, the Business Model Canvas (BMC), the 4P + 3P marketing strategy, and the SCAMPER creative method. The patchwork technique is applied to unite leather pieces into unique, attractive, and exclusive products.

The Kenduri tradition is a communal meal observed as an expression of gratitude, a prayerful request, or a commemoration of significant events, typically conducted through shared dining, with nasi tumpeng as the central dish. This tradition embodies values of togetherness, mutual cooperation, and respect for others. This study aims to develop a food-serving medium that integrates these values within a contemporary cultural context. Modern gathering practices—such as eating with family or friends during casual hangouts (“nongkrong”) and conversations at restaurants—reflect a continuity of social values found in the Kenduri tradition, albeit in a more casual form. This becomes the foundation for designing a product that is both culturally relevant and functionally appropriate. The SCAMPER method was employed to explore product idea development, while the ATUMICS method was used to extract traditional values as design inspiration. The product was designed by adapting the tampah (a traditional woven bamboo tray) as a food-serving base and equipping it with a handle to replace the tray. The final design takes the form of a triangle, inspired by the philosophical meaning of tumpeng, which symbolizes the harmonious relationship between humans, God, and nature. Research findings indicate that the developed design successfully integrates traditional values into a modern food-service context in Sundanese restaurants while also providing a functional solution for both food service and food transport.
