ABSTRAK   Perkembangan desain furniture semakin tumbuh pesat dari waktu ke waktu. Hal tersebut dapat tercermin dari makin beranekaragamnya bentuk dan material yang digunakan sebagai bahan baku pembuatannya kini. Material bahan baku saat ini tidak hanya berkisar pada  kayu, rotan, bambu, besi, stainless steel, aluminium, atau fiber plastik saja, karena seiring dengan kecanggihan teknologi dan semakin banyaknya ide-ide kreatif yang berkembang di tengah masyarakat sekarang membuat banyak bermunculan juga material-material alternatif baru yang lebih fresh dan unik. Salah satu contoh material alternatif baru tersebut adalah eceng gondok. Tanaman yang tumbuhnya di wilayah perairan ini setelah melalui proses tertentu mempunyai potensi yang cukup bagus untuk dikembangkan menjadi material bahan baku furniture karena mempunyai tekstur alami yang berciri khas, unik dan menarik tersendiri yang dapat disejajarkan dengan material alternatif lain. Penerapan dari hasil olah material berpotensi ini (eceng gondok) diharapkan dapat memberikan nilai estetis dan  nilai ekonomis yang tinggi dan tentunya membawa suasana kenyamanan pada ruangan, khususnya pada ruangan-ruangan yang berada didalam rumah tinggal.   Kata Kunci : Material, Eceng Gondok, Furniture, Rumah Tinggal ABSTRACT The development of furniture design is increasingly grown from time to time.
