So this paper attempted to outline some operable sustainable design strategies from the perspectives of product form elements and product function elements. In the aspect of product form elements, the core of strategy is that let nature visual through bionic design and edification design,which will be helpful to deeply enhance users’ environmental consciousness, bring users instinct emotions back to nature, and reconstruct the harmon vivid relationship between nature and human. In the aspect of product function elements, the strategy is that creat the constrainted and guiding operation function through constraint principle and unconscious design,which will be helpful to deeply change users careless behaviors towards more sustainable practices.
