Abstract

The main thrust of this study was to innovate the conventional armchair to give better convenience and comfort to the users. This study, the Flexible Armchair, was conducted primarily to determine its functionality and its acceptability level. This study was conducted at Bohol Island State University Bingag Extension Campus in the School Year 2017-2018. Thirty (30) students from Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology (BSIT) were the respondents. The functionality of the Flexible Armchair was assessed by the trials that are based on the aspects being tested. The results of the trials showed that the aspects being tested functioned according to its purpose. The results showed that the Flexible Armchair was strongly agreed to be acceptable in terms of functionality, convenience, aesthetics and cost with the general weighted mean of 3.49 described as “Strongly Agree”. Based on the results and findings of the study, the researchers concluded that the Flexible Armchair was functional and highly acceptable by the respondents. The researchers recommend to strengthen the arm for more durability and put  additional mechanism on the locker so that it can be drawn easily. To the future researchers and furniture entrepreneurs, they may used the study as basis and they may introduce this product to the market to be commercialized and developed.
