A design system using affordance features, the design system is provided. The system includes a storage unit that stores multiple affordances, that is messages that induce natural and efficient corresponding activities of human; a search unit that searches affordance features, that is, the structural entities that provide corresponding affordances, to search conditions set by a user; an output unit that outputs design information corresponding to the affordance features searched by the search unit and design information corresponding to an affordance feature selected by the user on a user interface; and an analogical reasoning unit that performs analogical reasoning on the basis of the design information corresponding to the selected affordance feature and derives a new affordance feature for a predetermined design target to be designed by the user.
