This study used inductive method such as lifestyle population surveys; focus group interviews; Kano model; and QFD (quality function deployment). The results show that important for having idpendent living for to study the possibilities of desiging kitchen supply for the independent aging. The most important design elements for ederly using kithen supply are to have the anti-hot pot body; fast heat conduction; heat dissipation; no ship handli; lightweight and easy to pick up; and in line with the hand.
