Lampu Gentur merupakan lampu asli kota Cianjur. Keberadaan lampu ini sudah ada sejak 1920. Seiring dengan berkembangnya jaman, bahan pembuatan lampu Gentur digantikan dengan bahan kuningan dan juga kaca yang berwarna-warni. Namun sayangnya hal tersebut tidak diiringi dengan perkembangan desainnya. Desain lampu Gentur dari dulu hingga sekarang hanya mencontoh dari lampu-lampu lain, khususnya bentuk klasik Kolonial Belanda dan Timur Tengah. Hal ini sangat disayangkan karena membuat Lampu Gentur tidak memiliki ciri khasnya tersendiri padahal para pengrajin sangat terampil membuat lampu yang berbahan baku kuningan dan kaca ini. Dilatarbelakangi kurangnya identitas desain lampu gentur, maka paper ini mencoba menghubungkan teori semiotic dalam perancangan ini menghubungkan simbol budaya Cianjur yaitu ayam pelung dan lampu gentur. Tujuan dari penulisan paper ini adalah pencarian identitas desain lampu gentur dengan pendekatan teori semiotic, diharapkan paper ini dapat memberikan model bagi desainer, bagaimana mendesain produk yang beridentitas budaya lokal. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan teori semiotic pada proses desain. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah desain lampu gentur baru dengan mengambil ayam pelung sebagai inspirasi.Gentur lamps are one of Cianjur’s finest crafts. These lamps have been produced since 1920. At first, Gentur lamps were made based on the initiative of the Santri (Islamic priest) to make lighting by imitating Dutch people’s lamps that they used in their houses. Unfortunately, from the 1920s until now, Gentur Lamp designs haven’t developed much in terms of identity, always imitating what’s available in the market. On the other hand, Cianjur people are very skillfull in the craft skill of lamp making. From this lack of design identity background, this paper tries to elucidate the design identity of Gentur lamps by using semiotic theory, by connecting the cultural symbology of Cianjur, pelung chicken with gentur lamps. The purpose of this paper is to probe into design identity in Gentur lamp production by way of semiotics theoretical approach. In doing so, this paper postulates a cultural product design model that is meant to provide designers valuable reference material for designing successfully in a cross-cultural product modality. The final result being the new gentur lamp design with Pelung chicken as design inspiration.

Function design is an important step in the process of product design. This article mainly focuses on process and realization of product function innovation. Function innovation and forecasting method is presented, and the product function innovation process model is proposed. Finally, the heating equipment is taken as an example to validate the effectiveness of the model.

The study of Dong ethnic cultural resources provides the experience basis and method path for the designing and development of cultural and creative products with Dong ethnic-cultural characteristics. In the research, first of all, the Dong culture is mainly taken as the core and the Dong cultural resources are classified. Secondly, it studies the attributes of cultural and creative products and designs and combs the cultural and creative products of Dong nationality. Furthermore, the creative product design model of Dong ethnic culture is constructed, and eye tracking technology is taken as an example to accurately extract the cultural identification characteristics of cultural materials through modern science and technology, and the specific case design is carried out. Through the excavation, arrangement, and induction of Dong ethnic cultural resources, the attributes of cultural and creative products are analyzed, and the design model is constructed to provide ideas for the design of Dong ethnic cultural and creative products, which is conducive to enhancing the value of Dong ethnic culture and cultural and creative products and provides references for the cultural development of other ethnic minorities.

Today, product design process is facing a market globalisation led by distributed teams. The international market context, in which industrial companies evolve, leads design teams to work in a large multidisciplinary collaborative context using collaborative practices. In this context, product design process is driven by the integration and optimisation of stakeholders’ collaboration. Thus, to facilitate collaborative steps, new management strategies are defined and new information systems can be used. To this end, we have focused our article on the topic of collaborative product design project management. We have underlined the necessity to use quantitative and non-intrusive indicators during the management of collaborative design phases besides subjective evaluations. Tracking these indicators is performed in parallel to the existing approaches in order to evaluate the performance of collaborative design project. Moreover, these indicators can show the impact of the collaboration steps on the design project evolution. The computation of proposed indicators is based on precise metrics which details the completeness of the computer-aided design model and its evolution depending on the used collaborative tools and the project milestones. This computation uses the importance of each computer-aided design model part and the transformation rate of each part of the computer-aided design model.

This paper proposes a conceptual model to support sustainable product design. The approach develops an integrated multimodal decision making model which is to be introduced early in the design process, as the basis for the integration of the life cycle assessment into an Eco-design model. The model, which is based upon an adapted “House of Quality” analysis, supports designers when assessing the environmental impact of the product design. The resulting Eco-design model evaluates the sustainability of the designed product using criteria that consider the impact of manufacturing process, product usage and end-of-life (EoL) disposal strategy. This approach is demonstrated using a case study that considers the design of a set of crocodile medical forceps, in which the redesign of a new forceps is undertaken by considering all the parameters in the Eco-design model.
