Jepara recognized as the largest wooden furniture industrial city in Indonesia, faces challenges in managing wood waste generated from production. This study aims to develop derivative product designs, specifically lighting designs, that utilize surplus wood waste from production. The design creation methodology involves exploration of visual typology elements derived from Hindu-Buddhist temples, which serve as iconic landmarks of Indonesia, and integrates distinctive carvings characteristic of local craftsmen in Jepara. The result is the creation of lighting products that not only provide illumination but also function as decorative elements that reflect the cultural identity of the region. This research is expected to positively contribute to designers' awareness of the importance of sustainability principles in design, as well as to strengthen the local handicraft industry in Jepara by utilizing wood waste materials.
