| Abstract | This research aims to study the ancient beads in southern Thailand, design patterns based on beadwork gathered from several sources, and develop shawls as a multi-purpose product using the bead patterns. The data were collected from books, related documents, and interviews with 13 informants who were staff members in cultural museums situated in communities, bead intellectuals, and bead collectors in Songkhla and Krabi Provinces. The obtained information was used as fundamental knowledge in the designing process and the development of multi-purpose shawls. The satisfaction with the products was evaluated by 400 tourists through an online questionnaire. The study found that there are three distinct types of southern ancient beads reflecting the unique southern context: monochrome glass beads, beads of the sun gods, and seashell beads. Hence, the identities of those three beads were brought to create patterns and design multi-purpose shawls. The analysis of the tourists’ responses showed that the sun god pattern shawls were the most satisfying ones, followed by the monochrome glass bead pattern shawls and the seashell bead pattern shawls. |
