Product Design Research Based on Sustainable Concept

Abstract:

In the premise of achieving corresponding functions, sustainable design means to take the most natural, harmless and energy-saving materials to realize the product functions to meet the need of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs. While with the Chinese characteristic features and the endless expansion demand on consumption, design is going on the opposite direction. The product design research based on sustainable concept is a re-examined view of human-oriented design in front of the challenge of limited resources protection. And with the help of unlimited creativities and design, we can care more about our nature and society on one hand. On the other hand, the silent affection and promotion on green, energy-saving and low-carbon living concept will also definitely influence our human being to be more rational.
