Abstract

Previous studies have shown that integrating cultural elements into product design can improve the added value of products. However, there are few studies on examining the manifestation of cultural added value. In this study, the researchers worked with 12 designers in related fields to collect 146 glass products with cultural heritage elements and identified 10 product samples for case studies. The results show that product benefits were found in six main aspects: beauty, fun, faith and ethics, symbolic image, sense of identity, and unique creativity. This research will contribute to the innovation of glass products and help improve their added value.
