有種咖啡是一款以循環材料與參與式設計為核心的植栽體驗產品,將回收咖啡渣再製為可組裝的板材,轉化為兼具環保與實用性的植栽盆器。產品以「拆、拼、填、種、飾」為主要操作流程,引導長者透過逐步組裝與種植過程,進行手眼協調與手部精細動作的練習。在對位拼接、填土與播種等動作中,使用者能自然提升手部靈活度與操作能力,同時增加參與感與成就感。
設計亦強調多感官體驗,透過觸摸咖啡渣材質的顆粒手感、嗅聞淡淡咖啡香氣,以及觀察植物逐漸生長的視覺變化,讓整體過程成為富有療癒感的日常活動。這種結合觸覺、嗅覺與視覺的體驗,有助於刺激感官並延緩認知退化。
此外,產品模組化設計便於拆解與重組,可重複使用並降低資源浪費,亦適合在家庭或長照機構中推廣。透過將種植轉化為一種可參與的手作活動,不僅提升長者生活品質,也讓復能訓練融入日常,進一步達到預防與延緩失智的效果。
Coffee Grow Kit is a planting experience product made from recycled coffee grounds, using modular panels to form plant pots. Through the process of “disassemble, assemble, fill, plant, and decorate,” it helps elderly users train hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills while enhancing engagement.
The design integrates multisensory experiences—touching the material, sensing a light coffee aroma, and observing plant growth—creating a therapeutic activity that may help slow cognitive decline. Its modular, reusable structure makes it suitable for homes and care settings, turning planting into a daily rehabilitation practice.
