Abstract: Sustainable craft is a relatively new concept, and a growing body of literature has examined sustainable craft from a multidisciplinary perspective. However, these researchers found a dearth of research that examines service design as a prospective transformative tool in sustainability crafts. Therefore, this study identifies published articles and the most productive journals, institutions, and countries by conducting a bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database of research articles on sustainable crafts in the 21st century. Based on that, we conduct an open discussion about sustainable crafts and service design. Finally, we obtain some key findings about these two areas.
