以「無用設計」作為創作策略,透過造型實驗與設計轉化進行改造,試圖打破信封僅為裝載媒介的刻板印象,重新思考「無用之物」在當代生活中的價值。
我們藉由重新拆解信封的造型、結構與尺度,使其從單純的平面紙質物件,轉化為具有敘事性的設計載體。
例如「道歉信封」透過擬人化的「鞠躬」造型變化,使收件者在開啟前便能直觀地感受其承載的情緒溫度;而「集郵信封」則重新設計了裁切邏輯,讓收件者在取出郵票的同時,能保有信封整體的完整性,將單純的包裝轉化為具收藏價值的物件。
當物件脫離了傳統工具屬性的限制,它便能以更具層次的形式與使用者產生新的對話。信封不再只是傳遞內容或保護信件的外殼,我們希望探索物件在當代生活中除了功能之外的象徵意義,以及它們作為情感載體的無限可能。透過這些造型轉化,使信封也能是一個能主動引發觀看、觸摸與思考的媒介。
This project adopts “useless design” as its creative strategy. Through formal experimentation and design transformation, it challenges the assumption that envelopes exist solely as containers. By dismantling and reconfiguring the envelope’s structure, scale, and opening mechanisms, the work transforms a flat, utilitarian object into a narrative design medium. The envelope is no longer merely a shell for delivering content, but a catalyst for looking, touching, and reflecting. The project invites viewers to reconsider the symbolic meaning and potential presence of everyday objects in contemporary life.
