Abstract
Outdoor commercial furniture, particularly tables, often appears to lack well-
designed products that address many concerns, including not only functionality and

Outdoor commercial furniture, particularly tables, often appears to lack well-
designed products that address many concerns, including not only functionality and

perception reflects an actual problem and explore potential solutions. The purpose of this research is to explore the challenges associated with meeting the demands of modern hospitality outdoor tables, including functionality, durability, customer satisfaction, aesthetics, and other factors.

By using research methodology, such as literature review, surveys, interviews, and personal observations, some required features of outdoor tables were identified. The four main stakeholders were taken into account while conducting the research: restaurant customers, staff members, restaurant business owners/managers, and municipality authorities. By addressing issues such as table stability, locking features, ease of nesting, storage, and cleaning, a design solution was proposed. Then, the design was evaluated, and the intended goals were discussed. Further development and possibilities were also presented, along with insights from prototype manufacturing. (Less)
