Abstract

The research on local wisdom in northeastern Thailand as a creativity source is part of the study of the bamboo weaving method's application to new concept design in the scope of cross- culture. Observing cultural community character and applying it to evaluating design between Northeastern cultural characters resulted in the development of a new weaving concept involving tung strings and bamboo strains. In approaching the bamboo weaving scope, the methods for selecting the population were purposeful and quota
sampling, which aimed to emphasize the importance of creativity development, treatment of the material sector, and culture in the product function approach. Managing the community's design thinking step activity in the woven product as a source of creativity helps determine the framework based on conditions to set new goals for product development based on the philosophy of art in shape and methods used by the local community. Weaving is a social activity practiced by people in northeastern Thailand. On occasion, woven products are used as functional items, tung as decorative items, and silk weaving as an identity.
