以台灣五大山峰為靈感，融合工藝美學、自然意象與永續理念，打造兼具文化深度與環保價值的臥香座與流香座。材料使用廢棄咖啡渣與石膏，透過矽膠翻模鑄造，賦予廢棄資源新價值，響應SDGs第12項「責任消費與生產」，強調環境永續與資源循環的重要性。
設計核心圍繞山形與倒影的虛實共生，融合太極哲學中的陰陽意象，透過黑白對比展現自然的平衡與流轉。黑色基座象徵「實」，承載大地的厚重與穩定；白色煙霧象徵「虛」，隨燃香縹緲流轉，倒映山形，營造虛實交錯的意境。這種黑白相映的設計不僅展現太極圖的陰陽和虛實哲學，更透過材質與視覺層次深化對自然關係的詮釋。
工藝表現上，採用矽膠翻模技法，使每件作品皆呈現獨特紋理與質感，展現手工工藝的細膩美感。此外，搭配金屬鑄造的小山香插作為點綴，提升細節層次，增添現代工藝質感，使整體設計更具視覺張力。
燃香時，煙霧縈繞山形，形成流動的倒影，營造沉靜冥想的氛圍，讓使用者在日常生活中感受自然的平衡與內在的寧靜。不僅是一件香器，更是一種生活儀式與文化體驗。
Inspired by the five major peaks of Taiwan, this design merges craftsmanship aesthetics, natural imagery, and sustainability concepts to create reclining and flowing incense holders that embody both cultural depth and environmental value. The materials used are discarded coffee grounds and gypsum, which are molded through silicone casting to give new value to waste resources, in response to SDG Goal 12, “Responsible Consumption and Production,” emphasizing the importance of environmental sustainability and resource circulation.
The core of the design revolves around the interplay of mountain shapes and their reflections, blending the Yin and Yang imagery from Tai Chi philosophy. Through the contrast of black and white, it showcases the balance and flow of nature. The black base symbolizes the “tangible,” bearing the weight and stability of the earth, while the white smoke symbolizes the “intangible,” drifting and reflecting the mountain shapes, creating a visual interplay of reality and emptiness. This black-and-white design not only reflects the Yin and Yang philosophy of the Tai Chi symbol but also deepens the interpretation of the relationship with nature through material and visual layers.
In terms of craftsmanship, silicone casting is used to create unique textures and qualities in each piece, showcasing the delicate beauty of handmade craftsmanship. Additionally, small metal-cast mountain incense holders are added as accents to enhance the detail, increasing the modern craft aesthetic and adding visual tension to the overall design.
When incense is burned, the smoke swirls around the mountain shapes, forming flowing reflections and creating a tranquil, meditative atmosphere. This allows the user to experience the balance of nature and inner peace in daily life. It is not only an incense holder but also a life ritual and cultural experience.
