產品設計評量準則之運用與內涵:以兩份｢百款最佳現代產品設計｣ 入圍名單為例

The "rational" design thinking and "perceptual" artistic style have created many classics and excellent designs, which have improved the quality of life and the public's aesthetic experience. The evaluation of "good design" can help to reduce bad designs and stabilize the quality of the design. This criterion originates from the nature of design and has been constantly updated with the evolution of eras, culture, and arts. The purpose of this research is to explore whether these criteria, which are defined, promoted, and pursued by professionals, can be recognized by consumers and the market. This study proposes an evaluation framework and criterion designed from the core concepts of product design and other various design evaluation systems. All 16 samples were chosen from two ranking lists of "100 Best-designed Products of the Modern Era" by Fortune. The methodologies are used through the questionnaire survey and analysis to evaluate the suitability of the good design evaluation system, to understand the public attitude and point of view in good designs. The results show that the core of the "good design" principles, continues the functionalism established during the Bauhaus period, but it needs to be continuously revised and improved over time. Audiences with backgrounds in design and other art fields, their knowledge, and acceptance of these principles are higher than others. While designers and manufacturers follow these principles, they should make timely adjustments based on feedback from the public. For any criteria for "good designs, there is no best, only the most appropriate.
