Abstract
Labu sayong is one of the significant traditional ceramic crafts in the Malay world and appreciated for its aesthetics, values and motifs. There is so much of mathematical pattern language used in the process of structuring the pattern and form itself. Without any thought about the mathematics principles underlying the process, it will never end up with a variety of designs constructed. This paper will discuss about the mathematical design-thinking framework for the ceramicist especially the Malays and its contribution in the process of developing the industrial ceramic wares. Identified from the observations and derived from ethnographic design theory which put into practice. The investigation will be in the range on some of the structured theoretical frameworks, which observational design approaches as main measurement, accuracy, equality, transformations and estimation in exploring the development process. Finally, the paper concludes with the possibility of Malay design challenge identified by implementing the protocol analysis procedures, offering valid comparison of experimental data across the whole range of research undertaken.
