This paper describes an Establishment of a guideline of Value Growth Design focusing on material features. In recent years, environmental issues due to mass disposal and energy waste, and lack of spiritual richness have become crucial. Value Growth Design, a design concept, is proposed as one of the effective solutions to that problems. Value Growth Design focuses mainly on the changes over time and on the spiritual relationships between an artifact and its user, such as affection and devotion towards an artifact. The application of Value Growth Design to artifacts design will realize embodiment of artifacts which are focusing on spiritual values and practical values as well as long time usage. In previous studies, 4 types and 9 factors of value growth were extracted. However, the guideline of Value Growth Design has not been established. Thus, in this paper, we establish a guideline which shows necessary elements for value growth, factors to realize the elements, and properties of materials needed to be focused.
