Abstract
This article aims to explore the creative expressions of kitchenware product semantics in the context of a new era from the perspective of affordance. We summarize the concept of affordance and its application in design field. We study the relationship and application of affordance and product semantics in the process of human-computer interaction. Based on the changes in the interactive relationship in the development of kitchenware, we specifically analyze the characteristic and trend of affordance and semantics. Finally, we provide four creative design methods for kitchenware products. This not only enriches the meaning of human-computer interaction, creates a more glamorous user experience, but also helps us to explore design methods to build a more suitable lifestyle today.
