The Evaluation Result of the Seat Cushion Pattern Design
The evaluation result of the seat cushion product, researcher used the assessment form in order to evaluate the satisfaction from 100 consumer and 3 experts in product field.As is presented in Table 2, the satisfaction assessment result from 100 consumer towards the seat cushion product in terms of beauty as well as the composition of pattern revealed that their opinion affected in terms of color and pattern was a high level with appropriate to conduct the pattern for usability, in terms of function of the usability of seat cushion product found their opinion affected in terms of durability, in terms of quality, in terms of suitability size for usage and in terms of suitability for the seat cushion product were a high level, their opinion affected in terms of market found that in terms of the product could be interesting attraction from consumer and the product could be promoted sales by themselves were a medium level.According to Table 3, the assessment result form 3 experts in the design field towards the seat cushion product in terms of beauty as well as the composition of pattern revealed that their opinion affected in terms of color and pattern was a high level with appropriate to conduct the pattern for usability, in terms of function of the usability of seat cushion product found their opinion affected in terms of durability, in terms of quality, in terms of suitability size for usage and in terms of suitability for the seat cushion product were a high level, their opinion affected in terms of market found that in terms of the product could be an interesting attraction from the consumer and the product could be promoted sales by themselves were a high level.

Discussion of Research Result
The pattern design with inspiration from the white champaka due to implication about "the kudos life, work promoted" also represented feminine characteristic women since these flowers had used as the accessories for women, for example, using a white champaka flower likes a barrette, tie it up at the ended hairs as a result of the aroma which it could be used instead of the perfume.The white champaka flowers were drawn aflutter as though naturally in order to they are moving by a researcher, accordingly, a researcher had conducted the repeating and rhythm technique to organize and affect the pattern with interesting.Pastel yellow was used as the background, selected blue color and dark yellow for the representative the white champaka, 80 percentages of the cool color affected to comfortable feeling and 20 percentages of red color from warm color as a red line had shown the petals were blooming.Furthermore, a cushion seat product has developed which, inspired by the a white champaka either, however, within the cushion seat contains the herbal incense such as Thao En On which had been used to treat about blood health, help heal internal organ pained, the turmeric had been used to reduce inflammation, kaffir lime rinds of peel have the aroma oil that helps the dizzy, the citronella grass had been reduced pain and aches, help heal the pain as well as the beriberi, the eucalyptus leaf had been used for skin care treatment, help heal skin disease and help lower blood pressure, the tamarind leaf had been helped heal the itch and skin care treatment, the common salt had been used for dehydration, help the medicine permeate the skin conveniently, the menthol had been used for pleasing scent, a heart treatment, heal blisters, therefore the aroma from the herbs had been helped to reduce stress.According to Chandhasa, R.
