However, the observations in public elementary schools with 159 students in Surakarta, Indonesia, showed that there are school furniture mismatch between the students’ body size and their activity in the classroom. This study was carried out in order to overcome the mismatch and describes the development of a dynamic furniture designed to be appropriate for the sizes of students.
