Abstract

The characteristics of furniture design for the global market are very universal and uniform by following international standards. The ease of use, delivery, storage and assembly of rattan furniture products are necessary in the global furniture market. One of the problems in the design of rattan furniture construction is a joint system between components. This study aims to develop knock-down construction systems used in rattan furniture. Joint bolts (JCB) connector is designed to refer to the strength of rattan in receiving compressive loads. The references used in this study are knock-down construction systems for wood panel furniture products and solid wood furniture. Based on the results of the study, a construction system consisting of joint connector bolts for rattan furniture connections was used. This result is one of the references for further development.
