At the same time, this article analysed the reason that caused the emergence of the slow design. Put forward the point of view that the reflection on the modern consumerism as the fundamental reason and social factor of the slow design, the deconstruction and criticism of binary opposition and the unity of heaven and man were the humanity factors for slow design, promoted the development of all kinds of slow motion is the fuse of slow design, development the theory and practice of green design theory and sustainable design theory was the theory and practice foundation for slow design.

At the same time of studying the theory of slow design, the thesis also compared slow desing with the green design, sustainable development design, by compared study,we can more clear understanding the inner link between these design concepts,which will helping us more in-depth understanding of slow design. Paper also used the method of comparative study to summarying and analying the explorations of MUJI and Droog that as the major slow design brands, which help us critical understanding of the current slow design practices.
