Craft is an essential part of Yi traditional culture, and it makes sense for inheritance and development, as well as the protection of local culture. Therefore, designs of cultural products commonly look for inspiration in craft culture. However, research has shown that designers have encountered difficulties integrating Yi craft cultural factors into design practices. This study aims to identify the most prominent Yi craft cultural factors that influence local design practices. Based on a literature review, a nominal group technique was used to arrive at a consensus on the factors influencing the Yi craft culture in local design practices. NGT is a method of data collection using tiny group discussions to reach a consensus. This study revealed 37 common Yi traditional craft culture factors that influence local design practices after NGT discussions, of which the first five are considered the most prominent. The findings can be used as a reference for designers to improve and deepen their local design practices. In addition, a method is provided to smooth the transition from traditional Yi craft culture to modern design and the creation of ethically and aesthetically appropriate products.
