ABSTRACT
The concept of harmony and sharing between humans and nature runs through the history of Oriental culture and affects the formation of its view of design culture. Sustainable design oriented towards an ecological civilisation needs to be regulated in the three aspects of 'human and human', 'human and objects' and 'human and environment' to reach three ideal states. The core of sustainable development thinking lies in correctly regulating two basic relations: the first is the relationship between 'man and nature'; the second is the relationship between 'man and man'. Compared with traditional design disciplines, Product-Service System (PSS) design uses a holistic approach to assess needs, products and strategies and provide services through a variety of channels. PSS design focuses on identifying and providing satisfaction, increasing value and improving relationships among stakeholders. Ecological civilisations oriented towards the future of humankind share an irreplaceable theoretical foundation of environmental ecology and thereby have clear dimensions of sustainable design.
