In this paper, we discuss the potential of an emerging form of sustainable design product as a solution to the space
constraint problems caused by bulky furnitures. This study presents how students perceive the interior design from
convenience and usability aspect for efficient space management. A quantitative research method was chosen to conduct
a survey to execute the data analysis. Based on the results delivered from the survey, a series of interviews were
scheduled with hostel authorities, architects, material vendors, and carpenters. A detailed analysis was conducted on
the re-usability of materials from existing furniture with the addition of sustainable material alternatives in place of
costly and not environment-friendly materials. The aim of this study is to discuss the step-by-step approach in design
process while developing a new product and provide more defoliated area with ergonomically designed sustainable
furniture and theoretically verify its credibility from the furniture design perspective.
