Under the background of accelerating global green transformation, industrial design is shifting from traditional function and aesthetic orientation to systematic guidance of sustainable lifestyle. Focusing on the theoretical level, this article aims to clarify how industrial design can intervene and shape the practice of sustainable life through value reset, behavior intervention and meaning construction without relying on case demonstration or data analysis. The research adopts the methods of conceptual analysis and logical deduction. Firstly, it deconstructs the three dimensions of sustainable lifestyle: material practice, meaning construction and system embedding, and then reveals the process of value reset experienced by industrial design in green transformation. On this basis, the theoretical framework of guiding mechanism with matter-behavior-meaning as the core is constructed. Industrial design can embed the logic of sustainable choice with low resistance and high recognition in users' daily practice through four kinds of action paths: situation presupposition, feedback reinforcement, meaning awakening and system connection. The effectiveness of this mechanism depends on the cooperation between design objects and social technology systems, and its essence is to reconstruct the cognition of the relationship between people and objects, resources and responsibilities in a non-mandatory way, so as to provide support for promoting the transformation of sustainable life from bottom to top.
