Description
Summary:This thesis presents an innovative design model for bamboo weaving products in Hunan, addressing consumer responses to artisans' and designers' intentions. The study integrates perspectives from craft, design, and bamboo weaving practitioners, considering objects as communication tools between these stakeholders. The research aims to investigate and evaluate the innovative model for bamboo weaving products in Hunan. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the methodology integrates literature and existing models to highlight variations in consumer responses. Interviews with craftsmen, designers, and consumer surveyors inform the development of a new model for understanding the intentions behind craftsmen and designers' design thinking. The resulting model not only replicates previous consumer response models but also introduces new perspectives and insights, offering a comprehensive framework for innovative design in Hunan's bamboo woven products. The research establishes a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for bamboo product design, emphasizing the holistic nature of design and consumer interaction. It contributes new ideas for the bamboo weaving industry's development and product market competitiveness. The study suggests future research directions, encouraging further exploration of how to integrate Hunan's regional characteristics and folk culture to cater to diverse consumer needs and aesthetic preferences. In conclusion, the thesis examines the application of the model and proposes future research to incorporate more regional elements, fostering the preservation and development of Hunan's bamboo weaving culture.
