摘要

背景自20世纪80年代末以来,韩国消费电子公司一直在寻找新的产品开发方式,摆脱以往的出口导向战略,以在市场开放和工资上涨的危机阶段捍卫快速增长的国内市场。20世纪90年代初出现的“韩国式家电”,作为这些尝试之一,是通过关注独特的韩国生活方式来实现产品功能本地化的结果。本研究旨在重建Goldstar领导的韩国家电产品开发过程,并分析设计师在这个过程中不断变化的角色和地位。方法回顾设计杂志和主要报纸的文章和访谈,以及相关文章和论文。案例研究包括一台Mulgurrae真空吸尘器、一台Ddukbaegi微波炉和一台Kimjangdok冰箱。结果20世纪90年代初,以Goldstar为首的韩国式家电发展趋势不仅在产品外观上产生了明显的变化,也改变了设计师的角色和地位。起点是Mulgullae真空吸尘器,紧接着是Ddukbaegi微波炉。在这两款产品的首款车型获得商业成功后,在后续车型的重新设计中强调了设计的重要性。设计被视为一种战术工具,在产品开发中非常有用,可以加快对市场反应的反应。事实上,设计师不仅仅是将产品的外观风格化,他们还展示了自己在设计满足用户需求的解决方案方面的专业知识。随着Kimjangdok冰箱的开发,人们对韩国风格电器的热情仍在继续。值得注意的是,在这种情况下,该公司不仅在韩国风格家电的名单上增加了另一个名字,而且还重组了产品开发过程的运营系统。

Changing the Role and Status of Designers in the Development of Goldstar's Korean-style Home Appliances in the Early 1990s
Background Since the late 1980s, South Korean consumer electronics companies had looked for new ways to develop products, breaking away from their previous export-oriented strategies, in order to defend the rapidly growing domestic market during the crisis phase of market opening and wage increases. The “ Korean-style home appliances ” that emerged in the early 1990s, as one of these attempts, were the result of localization of product features by focusing on the unique Korean lifestyle. This study aims to reconstruct the product development process of Korean home appliances led by Goldstar and to analyze the changing role and status of designers within the process. Methods This study reviewed articles and interviews from design magazines and major newspapers, as well as related writings and papers. The case studies included a Mulgulrae vacuum cleaner, a Ddukbaegi microwave oven, and a Kimjangdok refrigerator. Results In the early 1990s, the trend of Korean-style home appliance development led by Goldstar not only produced visible changes in the appearance of products, but also changed the role and status of designers. The starting point was the Mulgulrae vacuum cleaner, which was quickly followed by the Ddukbaegi microwave oven. After the commercial success of the first models of these two products, the importance of design was emphasized during the redesign of subsequent models. Design was seen as a tactical tool that could be quite useful for maneuvering in product development, speeding up responses to market reactions. In fact, designers went beyond simply stylizing the appearance of the product and demonstrated their expertise in designing solutions to users ’ needs. The enthusiasm for Korean-style appliances continued with the development of the Kimjangdok refrigerator. It's worth noting that in this case, the company did not just add another name to the list of Korean-style home appliances but went as far as to reorganize the operational system of the product development process.

期刊介绍: Archives of Design Research (ADR) is an international journal publishing original research in the field of design, including industrial design, visual communication design, interaction design, space design, and service design. It also invites research outcomes from design-related interdisciplinary fields such as the humanities, arts, technology, society and business. It is an open-access journal, publishing four issues per year. Currently papers are published in both English and Korean with an English abstract. ADR aims to build a strong foundation of knowledge in design through the introduction of basic, applied and clinical research. ADR serves as a venue and platform to archive and transfer fundamental design theories, methods, tools and cases. Research areas covered in the journal include: -Design Theory and its Methodology -Design Philosophy, Ethics, Values, and Issues -Design Education -Design Management and Strategy -Sustainability, Culture, History, and Societal Design -Human Behaviors, Perception, and Emotion -Semantics, Aesthetics and Experience in Design -Interaction and Interface Design -Design Tools and New Media -Universal Design/Inclusive Design -Design Creativity -Design Projects and Case Studies
