Calathea Lutea is a plant that is often found in Indonesia. Calathea Lutea is usually only used as an exterior plant because it has a wide leaf shape and a strong stem structure. If further investigated, the strength of the stem structure of the Calathea plant has the potential to be used as a material for interior parts. The research aims to find the best method for utilizing Calathea Lutea stems, especially when used as sheets for interior elements. Calathea Lutea stems are processed through various methods to find the most suitable method. Before the experiment, the stems of Calathea Lutea will be dried, and the methods will be carried out in three ways: laminating, weaving, and spinning. The results of the processing of Calathea Lutea stems will be subjected to several tests, such as strength, resilience, and flexibility. The stem of Calathea Lutea that has potential as an interior part is the one that uses the least amount of adhesive and has passed the tests carried out. It is hoped that the processing of Calathea Lutea stems can be used as a substitute material as a structural or visual element to replace other materials that are often found in Indonesia.
