The Product Development from Banana Rope for Interior Decoration

Abstract

The research on Product Development of Banana Rope for Interior Decoration is action research with the objective of designing and developing products from banana rope using the macramé technique and studying consumer satisfaction with banana rope products. The researcher designed nine types of glass edges, and three models were selected for developing products from banana rope to create three glass edges. Five shops in Songkhla were selected using a specific sampling method. The data were collected and analyzed for frequency, percentage, and mean. The results of the study revealed that the selected styles of products made from banana rope using the macramé technique were style 1, a natural shape inspired by flowers; style 3, a natural shape inspired by sunlight; and style 6, a geometric shape inspired by navigation. Regarding satisfaction, the study found that the respondents were highly satisfied with all three types of banana rope products, with type 1 receiving the highest level of satisfaction. The material used was deemed appropriate (M = 5). The third pattern had the highest level of durability and showcased creativity and uniqueness. The materials used were considered appropriate in equal proportions (M = 4.80), and the form of style 6 had the materials used appropriately (M = 4.80). Comparing the products from the three types of banana rope, the respondents expressed the highest level of satisfaction with all three types, with a total mean of 4.50.
