The Study and Application of Cultural Textile Product Design for Interior Decoration : Case of Banyan Tree Resorts and Hotels
Abstract:
Product is material culture which transits the cultural value to next generations. It is
important to transfer the cultural value through product, by design. The value of cultural
products consists of two main elements; tangible or visible value is a concrete value of
product itself and intangible or invisible value is an abstract value that derives from
inner thoughts. The consideration of the both values through product is an important
factor to create design tool. Design tool consists of the inner factors such as Function,
Emotion, Knowledge, Technology and the outer factors such as Colour, Shape, Form,
Pattern and Structure. A case of Banyan Tree Resorts and Hotels, a global brand for
cultural tourism, is selected to demonstrate the application of the design tool in
designing the soft furnishing decorative products for Banyan Tree in Kyoto, Japan. This
suggests that the tool can be applied for designers and raise both cultural and brand
values of designed products.
