RESEARCH ON THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURAL AND CREATIVE PRODUCTS IN HENAN MUSEUM

Abstract

This study aimed to (1) conduct an in-depth in-depth extraction of cultural elements from cultural relics, (2) investigate how history and contemporary life integrate within cultural and creative products, and (3) design a new cultural and creative product for the Henan Museum informed by these findings. Guided by the theory of cultural objects on three layers and levels, cultural relics were analyzed in terms of "cultural content," "historical significance," "emotional value," "function," "usability," "patterns," "materials," "color," and "shape."

Based on the results of a questionnaire, it was found that future cultural and creative products should focus on cultural connotation, high creativity, and practicality, with daily necessities as a potential direction for development. Interviews further indicated that products could enhance functionality and interactivity, establishing an emotional connection between cultural relics and consumers.

As a culmination of these insights,, a lamp inspired by the Jiahu bone flute was designed.
