Abstract

Among the many lighting options on the market, Chinese traditional hanging lanterns are also one of the appliances often used by people as home decorations and lighting setting. However, as the design of traditional Chinese hanging lanterns generally has a strong Chinese cultural element, it is often used by the Chinese as a decoration to create an atmosphere for festive occasions. As such, many Chinese, especially Malaysian Chinese millennials may consider that traditional Chinese hanging lanterns are an outdated traditional ornament that is only suitable for celebrations and festivals. This study aimed to explore the current trend of traditional Chinese hanging lanterns through interviews with interior designers who regularly work with millennial home design. Through in-depth interviews, the researcher discovered interior designers’ perceptions of the design orientation and appearance attributes of traditional Chinese hanging lanterns, and explored the types of lanterns that are currently popular among Malaysian millennials.
