Along with a significant increase in the spread of the coronavirus, the availability of appropriate furniture accessories on work desks to support employee performance is very important. The number of companies that do not have the ability to replace furniture according to health protocol requirements is the main factor in this study. So that the flexible partition can be designed according to the principle of the health protocol. The use of copper coating on the partitions and furniture features can support the needs of employees which has an advantage as a material to prevent the spread of the virus. The utilization and quality of materials in workspace furniture will also be increased in accordance with the applicable health protocol regarding the standard of ergonomic dimensions. This study aims to record and analyze interior facilities with the category of desk furniture accessories in the office work area from a design and function point of view related to aspects of comfort and safety for employees.
