雨具爲大衆生活中不可或缺的日常用品之一,然而市售之雨傘通常缺乏設計獨特性與文化特色。而台灣的卓越地理位置、多樣性的氣候條件,孕育出豐富的蕈類物種。於是本設計以台灣原生蕈類為主題,篩選共九種蕈菇,分別為:靛藍小菇、雲芝、綠絨泡黏菌、近藍蓋小菇、赭紅擬口蘑、銅綠球蓋菇、黃毛黃側耳、松乳菇和圓孢絲膜菌,並運用感濕油墨印刷技術,將蕈菇紋理融入傘面設計,發展出具當地特色之雨傘。包裝採三角立柱結構,整合傘具、挂繩與說明手冊,以局部透明的設計方式,使包裝兼具收納與展示機能。雨水滴落時浮現出的隱藏圖紋,其逐漸露出的模樣宛如蕈菇雨後在城市縫隙間遍地生長,展現出大自然的生命力,也猶如一場生態時尚秀。本設計透過將蕈菇意象融入雨傘設計,讓使用者在日常生活中感受自然元素,進而提升對生態環境的關注、培養尊重自然與珍惜台灣在地生態的意識。
Umbrellas are indispensable in daily life, yet most umbrellas on the market lack originality and cultural identity. Besides, Taiwan’s strategic geographical location and diverse climate conditions have fostered a rich and varied ecosystem, supporting an abundance of fungal species. Hence, the design highlights nine native mushroom species from Taiwan, integrating Reversible Hydrochromic Ink technology to capture their characteristics and translated into umbrella designs. The triangular packaging contains product, a carrying strap, and a leaflet. The structure enhances protection for the umbrella, also with a partially transparent design, it serves both storage and display functions. On rainy days, raindrops make the hidden patterns reveal, resembling mushrooms sprouting across the landscape after rainfall. The transformation redefines the connection between ecology and daily life, creating an enjoyment during the gloomy day. The design highlights the beauty of nature and aims to increase public recognition and appreciation of local natural resources.
