Abstract
The research has the objectives: 1) To analyze the design guidelines for furniture from crown thinning teak wood 2) To test strength and durability according to ISO 7173:1989 and 3) To determine consumer demand for newly designed teak furniture. In this case, this is a mixed methods research with a sample group of consumers who choosed to purchase products at Baan Tawai Handicraft Center in Chiang Mai Province, totaling 222 people, Besides, it applied a research tool that is called a structured questionnaire, and the results of the research have developed a new method for producing furniture by using the Quality Function Deployment technique. Similarly, the resulting method has been used to produce prototype furniture with gaining strength from being able to hold a compressive load at the level of 1,472 kilograms of force. With this case, the grouping of variables (EFA) consists of ten interrelated elements from fifteen selected variables, and when it used the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), it was found as these details: 1) Symbolic factors 2) Aesthetic factors 3) Functional Factors. Therefore, it was consistent with empirical data on consumer satisfaction with the prototype product, and it appeared that the conformity index value met the specified criteria. As the result, it is capable to summarize the new knowledge with appearing that consumers placed a high level of importance on management of natural resources by using a circular economy in the local area, and they used the process of creating Thai Lanna furniture with friendly environment, which the price level has no effect to the opportunity for consumers to decide on purchasing the products. On the same way, the applying of teak wood products are capable to reduce the main energy applying and decrease the greenhouse effect gas releasing contributing to the green economy with the development based on the strategy of mutual benefit with gaining the alternation in this following: 1) Ecology System 2) Economy 3) Social and 4) Long Term of Community Lifestyle.
