Abstract

To develop Lignum Vitae Flower-related cultural capital products, this study sought to: 1) explore the cultural dimensions of flowers in terms of their meaning, beliefs, rituals, wisdom, and customs; 2) create constructive and creative patterns from Lignum Vitae Flower; and 3) synthesize Lignum Vitae Flower patterns for use in pattern design and creative product development, as well as to evaluate the design. Three floral specialists, one hundred clients utilizing both accidental and purposeful sampling (i.e., sampling at a specified place), six groups of Benja Rong porcelain makers, and three design experts made up the sample.The findings confirmed that 1) Lignum Vitae Flower has a connection to tradition, belief, and knowledge. 2) The Lignum Vitae Flower's composition, color, and creative relationship to symbol, meaning, and belief (which might serve as inspiration or cultural capital) could all be modified and included into the pattern design. 3) The most common use for the synthesized patterns is in the production of Benja Rong porcelains.
