Eudaimonic images can be conveyed through products. As people have awakened with regard to spiritual value, the paradigm informing product design has changed. Other than the basic demands of function and aesthetics, product design should return to the nature of bringing happiness to the people, pursuing design performance that conforms to this value. This study used eudaimonia as the starting point to describe the correlation between the philosophy of eudaimonia and product design. A focus group method and qualitative study were conducted to discover the consensus and divergent views among designers and users with regard to the expression of eudaimonic design and to construct a model for product design based on it. The research process was divided into the three parts: (1) A literature analysis focused on the philosophy of eudaimonia and product trends. (2) Designers and users were used as subjects and existing products were used as samples for dual-track focus groups. (3) Cross-referencing of the data and the literature were conducted based on the summarized results from the focus groups to verify the model's reasonableness. The results of this study could be used as a reference for product development and design practice in relevant industries. It is hoped that the guidance of eudaimonic design thinking could result in product design being brought closer to the needs of the people.
