Design development of the bench was based on opportunities for the availability of cardboard waste and opportunities for innovation in recycled products to add value to cardboard waste. This product is expected to be one of the educational media for the public on the importance of choosing environmentally friendly products and waste recycling. From the exploration process that has been carried out, this material has the advantage that it can be molded in an organic form and can withstand loads of certain dimensions so that it is suitable to be applied to furniture products for children, benches. The benches are designed to suit the needs of bench designs for children which are active, dynamic, ergonomic, safe and imaginative. This material also has environmentally friendly properties and can be recycled again. The bench design developed offers many variations of seating and has a hollow structure design using the idea of dome structure and shell structure. The technique used is the solid molded technique and forming manually which can be applied by small industries.
