Natural Materials In Modern Design Use

Natural materials is closely related to human life, human first manufactured labortools and supplies using natural material, natural materials play an important role inthe course of human civilization. With the rapid development of science andtechnology, natural materials still widely used in the modern product design,architectural design, costume design and other design fields with its uniqueadvantages. Natural materials design in the use of high-tech means by designers,make the works that design and manufacture using natural materials more colorfuland bright. Natural materials are largely introduced into the contemporary design, notonly in line with the direct current concept of environmental protection for ecologicalprotection and recycling economy,and has formed the new fashion in thecontemporary design and consumption process, become a beautiful scenery whichhighlight in the postmodern culture design. The eternal charm of natural materialsattract more and more designers into the design studies using natural materials,designers draw rich creative inspiration from its rich natural texture and materialrepresentability, Using natural materials or a combination of natural materials andnew materials, a large number of outstanding design works were manufactured,through the contact and using the tools and environment are made of natural materials,it brings new visual, tactile experience to design users, meet the desire of closing tothe natural from deep in the hearts of people. Fully reflects the eternal value of naturalmaterial and significance of enlightenment for the current design art.This paper introduces the relevant background information on the naturematerials research, and the present situation of the theory and practice design researchusing natural materials. Traces of human history of the use of natural materials andthe close relationship between natural material development and the evolution ofhuman civilization history. The main plant of widely used in the modern design of thenatural material, such as wood, bamboo, hemp etc.their characters is analysed. Visual,tactile semantics that expressed in natural materials is expound from the two aspects of principal and guest, combined with the actual case application in moderndesign, advantages of embodiment of natural materials and summarizes the generaldesign method. Through the sucessfulcase for natural materials used in product design,architectural design, packaging design and other design fields, it shows that the use ofnatural materials, artificial materials and combination of machining advancedtechnology can fully convey a strong modern breath. In dicussing the method ofdesign on natural materials,combined with my own design practice of natural material,deep thought on the performance and application of natural materials.Although the human use of natural material creation history is very long, and themodern design has many successful examples of using natural materials, People areconsciously aware of being-in-itself value material is not a long history,and theoryresearch achievements on the design of the natural materials and the design practicedo not match very vell, So, it needs promote from the concrete practice of individual,experience, sensitive to the general, science, cognitive universality theory. This paperhopes through in-depth theoretical study, reveal the deep relationship of naturalmaterials and daily life of people, Explorating and researching the characteristics oftheir own natural materials and variety possibilities of design expression, Search forthe fit of designers creation individuality and freedom of personality from naturalmaterials, Enhance the understanding of the natural materials from the perspective ofaesthetic value, symbolic significance, the spiritual connotation. Analysis andevaluation of design practice and research achievement for the current use of naturalmaterials in the ecological design, green design from the academic level. Thus trulygrasp the universal law of using natural materials to deign and creation.
