This paper takes Huizhou Wuyuan culture as the background and Wuyuan diet culture characteristics and Wuyuan tableware characteristics as the basis. It’s to research a kind of development strategy of Wuyuan characteristics tableware design and design practice to Wuyuan characteristics tableware according to the research strategy.Firstly, to make clear of the relationship between Huizhou culture and Wuyuan culture to obtain the Wuyuan diet culture characteristics under the influence of Huizhou culture through methods of historical documents, wuyuan chorography, wuyuan museum and wuyuan field investigation and interview.

To conclude design inspiration of Wuyuan characteristics tableware from the contemporary tableware design.Finally, summarize Wuyuan characteristics tableware design strategy and design practice according to the above research results and methods of product development and design principles. To design and practice sholud be from the perspective of regional cultural features, consult modern tableware design’s concept, material technology and user experience’s feelings and consider the aesthetic principle of tableware and food collocation. Design schemes revolve closely around Wuyuan diet culture and geographical features.
