隨著科技的迅速發展，電子產品的更新汰換越來越快，據統計，全球每年產生數千萬噸電子廢棄物，其中包括大量的「電腦機殼」。傳統電腦機殼通常由鋼材、鋁材和塑料製成，這些材料在生產、使用和處置過程中均會產生大量的碳排放，對環境造成負擔，且在後疫情時代開始，居家辦公已成為趨勢，工作與生活空間的界線逐漸模糊，消費者對於產品的需求也日益多元。一台兼具美學、功能性與環保理念的電腦機殼，正符合現代居家環境的發展方向。因此，我們選擇木材作為主要材料，利用其可回收、可再生、可固碳的特性來減少對環境的負面影響，並將使用情境設定於客廳空間，讓科技產品能夠自然融入居家環境。在設計上，我們採用磁吸面板設計，不僅提升了產品使用壽命還支援使用者在需要時進行簡單的清潔和維修，而不是直接更換整個設備，這樣可以減少電子垃圾的產生，進一步推動循環經濟。木製電腦主機殼設計，不僅具備實用與美觀，還能成為一個具體的環保宣言，向市場傳遞綠色設計和永續理念的價值，鼓勵更多的消費者和製造商關注環境議題，在科技帶來便利的同時也做到減碳的友善環境效果。
With the rapid advancement of technology, the replacement cycle of electronic products has become increasingly shorter. According to statistics, tens of millions of tons of electronic waste are generated worldwide each year, including a significant number of computer cases. Traditional computer cases are typically made from steel, aluminum, and plastic—materials that produce substantial carbon emissions throughout their production, use, and disposal, adding to the environmental burden.
In the post-pandemic era, remote work has become a prevailing trend, blurring the boundaries between work and living spaces. As a result, consumer demands for products have become more diverse. A computer case that combines aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability aligns perfectly with the evolving needs of modern home environments.
Therefore, we have chosen wood as the primary material, utilizing its recyclable, renewable, and carbon-sequestering properties to minimize environmental impact. The product is designed specifically for living room integration, allowing technology to blend seamlessly into home spaces.
In terms of design, we have incorporated a magnetic panel structure, which not only extends the product's lifespan but also enables users to perform simple cleaning and maintenance when needed, rather than replacing the entire device. This approach reduces electronic waste and further promotes the circular economy.
The wooden computer case is not only practical and visually appealing but also serves as a concrete statement of environmental responsibility. It conveys the values of green design and sustainability to the market, encouraging more consumers and manufacturers to prioritize environmental issues. While technology brings convenience, it should also contribute to carbon reduction and a more eco-friendly future.
