The aspect of ergonomic in interior design is one of the centers of attention a designer has to take into account since it greatly relates to human-s health as the end user in the long term. Putting aside ergonomic factors will result in health problems, a few to mention, such as musculoskeletal pain, spine pain (due to backbone abnormal), and others. There are a number of researches discussing this topic; yet, mostly their scope is restricted to residential context, occupational, and other commercial facilities. In the Indonesian context, traditionally Islamic educational institutions, such as pesantren, has been excluded in many studies. Therefore, the present study aims to observe the existing interior design based on ergonomic perspective in pesantren (Islamic educational institution) context in relation to the factors of students health. The study used a qualitative research method through a literature review of previous researches related to this topic. In addition, secondary data of interview results with some experts in this field is taken into consideration to get the design parameter for the learning space area in Islamic boarding school based on the ergonomic aspect.
