This study tends to develop multi-functional pressure-releasing massage products with shape design. First, the development of present massage products is investigated through market inquiry. Furthermore, the in-depth interview with Chinese doctor was conducted to realize the factors for people getting illness due to working pressure and the releasing method. Then, the behavioral habits and the factors of consumers purchase decision were further investigated Based on survey. The functions of shape design, warming, vibration, and kneading were selected through SPSS to analyze the questionnaires. Bionic design was utilized as the shape design for dividing the massage methods into operation direction and functioning surface according to such requirements to develop the product. The former is transformed into mechanical design parameters, and the latter is simplified into dots, lines, surfaces, and lotus-shapes. Finally, the optimal bionic objects of shape and product functions were discovered; the design idea is drawn by hand; and, the simulated style is drawn with 3D. This study tended to provide the reference for designing massage products with functions and shape.
