Interactive Rattan Vase Design

Abstract

In addition, rattan is a fast-growing and environmentally friendly resource, which is a suitable fit for today's sustainable design concepts, but Thai handicrafts are facing declining popularity due to the expansion of technology-based products, which can create convenience and provide a better interactive experience for users. This research therefore proposes a way to develop wickerworkto interact with consumers. It relies on the elastic properties of rattan as a basis for experimenting with new works. The result of the experimental design was a wicker vase made from rattan that merged wires with copper wires inside to control the structure. The important factors are the density of the weave, the spacing of the pattern, and the size of the rattan, which will clearly affect the shape stability and the ability to collapse, shrink, and bend the workpiece. In conclusion, this research suggests that rattan not only meets the needs of decorative and functional uses. But it can also be developed into handicraft products that interact with users. The result is an approach that helps to enhance the value of local wisdom. It connects with contemporary ways and opens up new opportunities for the development of more sustainable design innovations.
