Medan city is one of the cities that has variety of culinary types due to its diversity of ethnic types. The diversity types of food in Medan can be seen from heavy food to light snacks such as their native snacks. The existence of native snacks in modern era is increasingly being ruled out seeing that many modern foods have been influenced by foreign cultures that have entered in the areas. In addition, the shift in people's lifestyles that tend to follow trends is also one of the factors causing many young people to not recognize these types of native snacks, especially when the existence of these types of snacks are difficult to find in public culinary places. This could be a problematic issue because the existence of these native snacks should be preserved from generation to generation. In this final project, the exploration is carried out in order to introduce the potential texture characteristics of these Medan city’s native snacks that have unique visuals to be introduced and preserved as a culinary heritage of traditional culture in the form of ceramic interior product using sgraffito techniques and relief techniques as the main methods in making them. In terms of color, the product applies neutral colors that give rise to ethnic concepts such as broken white and dark brown, while in terms of shape, it adapts the shape of gorga ulu paung of the Batak tribe which is composed in geometric shapes that match the product placement area at Saphire Blue Sky Premier Lounge, Kualanamu Airport in Medan.
