Abstract

Bamboo is one of the abundant natural resources in Indonesia, so bamboo handicraft products can be easily found there. The most widely used technique is the plaiting technique. Many woven bamboo crafts use coiling as a framework for woven products. Although it is often juxtaposed with the popular plaiting technique, the coiling technique is less glamorous and has yet to be developed in Indonesia. This is because coiling has a basic circular shape and is difficult to make in small diameters, ultimately becoming an obstacle to product development using the coiling technique. Bamboo processing also adds to the challenges for craftsmen as bamboo is susceptible to mold and bamboo-destroying organisms. The sustainable market and fashion and jewelry products are popular today, especially among Gen Z. Gen Z, is the key target market for jewelry styling in this design. Gen Z preferences, mainly explored through CJM and questionnaires, will be the main consideration in the design process. Meanwhile, bamboo processing will be explored through field studies of related products and techniques and various experiments needed, such as bamboo type, preservation, coiling form, joining, and coiling finishing. These methods are used to support the design process of bamboo coiling jewelry that suits the preferences of Gen Z.
