Desk and chair design in elementary schools vary greatly in size and shape, thus any design incompatibility could in turn create discomfort for the students. The purpose of this research is to find a design that would fulfill the needs of the user. The method used in this research is a focus group discussion as well as a scoring concept that applies six different criteria: strength, comfort, ease of maintenance, aesthetics, affordability, and ease of production. The continued scoring process will be conducted with a participatory approach to deciding which design is best. The result of the research shows Concept 1 with a score of 6.712, Concept 2 with a score of 7.863, Concept 3 with a score of 8.385 and Concept 4 with a score of 7.503. Concept 2 and 3 consecutively received the highest scores and through a focus group discussion, it is concluded that further improvements will be conducted based on the user's suggestion. Concept 3 was applied for the desk and Concept 2 was applied for the seat. Final designs are obtained by the merge of the two concepts discussed in the focus group.
