Abstract

By utilizing the tools of design semiotics, this paper studies the symbol system of sanitary products and aims to provide a deeper understanding of the modern sanitary products. Specifically, with the notions of signified and signifier from modern design semiotics, we obtain an all-around analysis of the design schematics of modern sanitary products. The design semiotic tools enable us to combine the practical, aesthetic and symbolic values of the sanitary products together, and unifies their forms and functionality in a systematic way. Using the proposed approach of design semiotics, we can design more efficient sanitary products, so as to provide more humanistic services for people.
