文化廚房——以稻穀殼再製飯勺，每一口，承載無限祝福。
在台灣的飲食文化中，粿模不僅是製作糕點的工具，更承載著世代流傳的祝福與美好寓意。本專案以粿模紋印為靈感，透過稻穀殼回收再製，設計出五款具長壽、有餘、招財等祝福寓意的飯勺，讓傳統文化不再侷限於節慶儀式，從最日常的「吃飯」的重新回到生活之中，成為現代生活的一部分。。
同時，飯勺設計具備「可站立」與「不沾飯」的特性，提升使用便利性，同時搭配可回收環保包裝，實踐綠色設計思維，滿足現代消費者對文化、美學與永續的追求。此外，材料選用回收碳基循環的稻穀殼，減少農業廢棄物與塑膠使用，降低環境負擔，並採用環保再生紙作為包裝，達到「低碳、減材、可回收」的循環設計目標。
包裝設計上則以傳統粿模視覺為連結對象，透過鏤空與白墨符紋的結合，讓飯勺宛如粿模內的粿紋浮現，展現獨特的文化韻味。一體成形的結構設計減少材料浪費，簡約卻富有層次感，讓環保與工藝美學並存。「文化廚房」不只是日常餐具，更是一場關於文化、環保與美學的深度對話。透過稻穀殼的再生應用與粿印符紋的再詮釋，讓餐桌上的一支飯勺不僅承載著美學與祝福，更讓文化在日常使用中自然流轉，共享無限祝福的每一口餐食。

Cultural Kitchen – A Rice Husk Recrafted Rice Scoop, Carrying Infinite Blessings in Every Bite.

In Taiwan’s culinary culture, traditional rice cake molds (guò mó) are not just tools for making delicacies; they also carry blessings and auspicious meanings passed down through generations. Inspired by the intricate patterns of these molds, this project reuses recycled rice husks to design five unique rice scoops, each embodying well-wishes such as longevity, abundance, and prosperity. By integrating traditional symbolism into everyday dining, we bring cultural heritage beyond festive rituals and into modern life, making it a seamless part of daily routines.

Designed with both practicality and sustainability in mind, the rice scoop features a self-standing structure and a non-stick surface, enhancing user convenience. Complemented by recyclable and eco-friendly packaging, this product embodies the principles of green design, catering to contemporary consumers who value culture, aesthetics, and sustainability. The use of recycled carbon-based rice husks helps reduce agricultural waste and plastic consumption, lowering environmental impact. Additionally, the packaging is made from recycled paper, aligning with the circular design principles of low carbon, material reduction, and recyclability.

The packaging design draws inspiration from traditional guò mó patterns, integrating cutouts and white ink symbols to create a visual effect where the rice scoop appears as an imprint within the mold. This unique approach highlights the beauty of cultural craftsmanship while maintaining a minimalist yet layered aesthetic. The one-piece structural design minimizes material waste, seamlessly blending sustainability with artistry.

Cultural Kitchen is more than just a kitchen utensil—it is a meaningful dialogue between culture, sustainability, and design. By repurposing rice husks and reinterpreting traditional rice cake patterns, this rice scoop not only carries beauty and blessings but also allows culture to flow effortlessly through daily life. Every meal becomes an opportunity to share and savor the infinite blessings embedded in each bite.
