Client:阿原 YUAN
Exhibitions and displays generate significant waste, and while there’s no perfect solution, improvement is always possible. This March, while designing the display for YUAN’s new product launch, I began a “wood-seeking journey.”
Taiwan’s waste wood comes from three sources. Driftwood was my first option, but its fragile condition and insect issues made it unsuitable. Fallen trees were my second attempt; thanks to Mr. Huang’s help, I explored Chinaberry wood, which I loved but couldn’t process in time. Eventually, I found thinning wood at Mr. Wu’s lumber shop—specifically Calocedrus, elegant and warm in tone, once undervalued in the forest but still full of potential.
I knew this approach required more time and cost, and client acceptance was uncertain. But proposing the idea opened up new possibilities. In the end, the only waste we produced was a single printed backdrop—not perfectly clean, but a meaningful step toward reducing waste.
如果一個品牌是在做永續的行為,從產品-原料-運輸已經起步,就不該斷在最後行銷這一塊。原先可以很快速的設計視覺圖,在預算與時間上獲得最大利益與成果,檔期結束後一切就分離乾淨,而那種乾淨我期望是徹底並且無感的。
一場展覽與一檔陳列會產生多少垃圾,沒有絕對但有機會可以改善,至少我希望。今年3月執行台灣品牌-阿原YUAN 新產品發布的陳列設計案,展開一段「尋木之旅」。
台灣廢棄木取得有三種管道,我從①「漂流木」開始撿起,但漂流木外觀大多破損無樹皮、質地脆弱,並且蟲害問題嚴重,若要放置百貨陳列有其風險。
②「倒木」大多是受大自然淘汰或風災後留下,尋木期間認識道路修剪組織,他們有一個排隊等著修剪的樹木名單,謝謝黃先生願意幫我插隊修剪「苦楝樹」。因為朋友的關係,我認識到苦楝樹,樹皮紋理清晰很漂亮,一眼就愛上,但卻因為時間有限狀況下,無法處理新鮮苦楝樹的蟲害問題,因而也與苦楝分離繼續找尋。
兜兜轉轉到了第三關③「疏伐木」,那幾天常常到吳先生的木材行報到,聽他說木頭、看他做木工,然後我看到了「肖楠」,樹皮比苦練細緻與優雅,帶點溫暖的紅褐色,筆直而有力的站著,應該就是它了。原先它們是一群在山中生長不良或被環境犧牲的樹木,下山後依然保有它們的價值。
前置思考時,就能知道這樣的做法會增加時間與金錢成本,業主的接受度也商榷,不過就在你勇敢提出想法時,可能性也就存在了。這次的陳列設計唯一的垃圾就是底版的輸出圖,無法徹底乾淨,但起碼從減少開始。
