Creation of Decorative Lamp Products Utilizing Natural Rubber Materials Combined with The Uniqueness of Ubon Ratchathani Province

Abstract

     Research on creating decorative lamp products from natural rubber materials with a unique combination of Ubon Ratchathani Province. The objectives are 1) to study the process of developing natural rubber materials for processing into products in the form of rubber sheets and 2) to design decorative lamp products that combine the identity of Ubon Ratchathani province from rubber sheets. For the design, there is a process for selecting the suitability of decorative lamp patterns from 10 styles and analyzing the importance weights by the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in selecting patterns for decorative lamps from rubber sheets with the identity of Ubon Ratchathani province.

     The research found that rubber latex can be molded into colorful rubber sheets of various shades by developing rubber materials by mixing colors in rubber latex. Zinc oxide nanoparticles are combined to maintain the rubber shape and reduce its foul smell from rubber. For the design process, suitable patterns are designed and selected to be created as decorative lamps. The initial style chosen was a decorative table lamp. Then, it was designed to emphasize patterns and selection, and the results were analyzed through a hierarchical analysis process. The local fabric patterns of the Ubon Ratchathani province rubber sheet have the most appropriate importance weight value (0.394). Finally, it is used to design a prototype product and simulate its use in various locations.
