Designing Lounge Furniture at the Rose of Sharon Church at West Jakarta with a Biomimicry Pod Concept

Abstract

This proposal describes a visionary approach to improving the environment and functionality of the Rose 
of Sharon Church Lounge in West Jakarta through the innovative application of biomimetic principles. Inspired by 
the natural world, specifically the concept of pods found in various biological organisms, the project aims to 
revolutionize the interior design of the lounge. By harnessing biomimetics, the proposed furniture will not only provide 
ergonomic and aesthetic comfort but also promote sustainability and harmony with the church environment. This 
interdisciplinary effort will integrate biomimetic, design and engineering principles to create a unique and 
transformative space that promotes connection, relaxation and contemplation for the church community. Through this 
proposal, we seek to inspire a harmonious coexistence between the built environment and the natural world, while 
meeting the functional needs and spiritual aspirations of the Rose of Sharon Church congregation.
