Street selling is a vital income source for shoemakers, who provide guidance on styles, materials, and maintenance methods. In crowded cities like Manila, shoemakers need a comfortable workspace. The Silya De Zapato project proposes a multifunctional workspace for shoemakers, featuring a table for repairs, cabinets for materials, and a chair with a comfortable seat. The furniture is functional, sturdy, attractive, practical, and durable, with tables made of laminated marine plywood and the main body made of standard plywood with a waterproof coating. The acceptability performance of the Silya De Zapato was evaluated through a survey of one hundred (100) respondents: ten (10) cobblers, forty (40) professionals, and fifty (50) students from the College of Architecture and Fine Arts at TUP-M. Using the researcher’s designed instrument, the evaluation was conducted, with the mean ratings comprising seven (7) criteria. Functionality goes the highest weighted mean with 4.75 (Excellent) while the Overall Satisfaction got a weighted mean of 4.62 (Excellent), Safety got a weighted mean of 4.57 (Excellent), The Aesthetic and Appearance got the weighted mean of 4.56 (Excellent), and Comfortability got a weighted mean of 4.51 (Very Satisfactory), lastly the Durability got a weighted mean of 4.42 (Very Satisfactory). These numbers and interpretations only mean that the Silya de Zapato is highly acceptable, with an Overall Mean of 4.61, which was defined as Excellent.
