Background_

" Our attention has limit." ｢ 在這資訊量爆炸的時代，我們的注意力是有限的。｣

Our brain become a mess as we receive too much information.

不 停 地 在 大 量 的 資 訊 中 轉 換， 使 我 們 容 易 感 到 疲 倦， 專 注 力、 生 產 力、 心 理 情 緒 與 感 受 也 更 輕 易 受 到 影 響。 用 科 技 解 決 一 切 的 數 位 時 代， 造 成 用 科 技 卻 難 以 解 決 的 問 題， 而 產 品 設 計 應 該 如 何 創 新， 讓 人 產 生 共 感， 以 有 別 以 往的角色融入生活。

T h e sw i t c h i n g b e t we e n d i f f e r e n t tasks and information can do harm to our cognition, whic h caused o u r m e n t a l o ve r l o a d , i n e f f i c i e n t productivity and low concentration.

As a designer, how to find a solution to restoration and bring the paulse into our daily lives become major nowadays.

3

Research_ 因科技而導致喪失專注力與 心 理 影 響 ，開 啓 了「 療 癒 性 」的 需 求。我 們 以 「 專 注 力 」、「 療 癒 」、 「 平 靜 」、 「 重 整 」 等 關 鍵 字 ， 收 集 從 産 品 到 空 間 的 相 關 設 計 ， 並 且 翻 閲 相 關 文 獻 ， 梳 理 出 設計與理論的關係。 The healing needs aroused due to the negative impact caused by technology. Therefore, we surveyed products featured in concentration, stress-relieving, calmness, reset, and the related documents.

?

Study & Redefine_ 科技時代使我 們 持 續 的 使 用 直 接 注 意 力 ，並 消 耗 有 限 的 認 知 資 源 ， 而 産 生 疲 勞 。 其中，注 意 力 恢 復 理 論 ( Attention Restorative Theory-ART) 提 出 在 使 疲 勞 感 恢 復 、 重新將認知負荷 歸 零 的 體 驗 環 境 裡 ，包 含 四 種 人 與 環 境 互 動 時 的 特 性 ：

The ART (Attention Resorative Theory) in restorative environment research field has addressed 4 relationship qualities for human interactions and natural environments, which the restorative experience could be effective in countering the DAF (Directed Attention Fatique).

遠離性

延展性

魅力性

相容性

遠 離 指 的 是 一 種 心 理 狀 態 上 的 逃 離， 包

•有形延展性 : 豐富而協調的環境資源，

本質能輕易吸引人的注意與興趣者。

支持個人喜好與意圖的環境

Being away 括遠離日常生活中常需要費心神的事

物，以及暫時停止某種特定目標的追尋。

Extent

Fascination

可吸引人們的留意，並進行探索。

•無形延展性 : 想像的概念，建立所體

驗的事物上與整個世界間的關聯性。

•Hard fascination : 高刺激性，無反思。

Compatibility I can do things I like here.

•Soft fascination : 低刺激性，有內省 機會 。

" Depletion of this central executive mechanism can result in directed attentionalfatigue (DaF). ART predicts that environments can counter DAF when the human-environment relationship is characterised by four qualities: fascination or the capacity of an environment to automatically draw attention without cognitive effort, a sense of extent or connectedness, being away from daily hassles and obligations, and a compatibility between the individual’s inclinations and the characteristic of the environment. "

- Environmental Psychology (Agnes E.van den Berg/Yannick Joye) 5

我們歸納出 「恢復性 restorative」 物件可能的設計手法，並設定我們的設計準則。

Based on the 4 characteristics in ART, we analyzed the previous surveys and came into some principles for restorative product design.

1. 給予 任務 達到遠離性。

3. 利用 五感 創造魅力性。

Give mission to reach being-away.

Create fasination by sensory stimulations.

2. 豐富可探索 的體驗達到延展性。

4. 創造符合自己所想的環境達到相容性。

Explorative experience to reach extent.

Shape what one wants to reach compatibility. 產品體驗過程 Experience

與產品互動、探索 Explore, interact with product.

Opportunity_

Ideation_ 依據設計手法，我們初步快速的發想了 28 個想法。 再挑選三個發展方向，進行第二輪的設計發想及統整。

PRODUCT

Based on the principles, we generated 28 ideas, and intergrated 3 restorative design methods.

我們希望透過産品作為一個載 體， 提 供 可 持 續 探 索 的 體 驗 ， 讓 人能透過與産品的互動，給予頭 腦沉靜、 重 整 的 效 果 。

The product we would like to create is to provide a continue exploration experience, which would give people the calmness in brain through the interaction with product.

1. 光影變化創造相對關係的摩爾效應。 By the effect of light and shadow, there creates repeated, moiré patterns to generate interference patterns.

3. 利用重力創造自動且自然流動的景色。 Create the natural flow.

The Flow of Sand

｢ 砂可處於動態或靜態之間， 反覆成形。｣

" Sand can stay dynamic and still at the same time."

我們發現砂平衡的物理性質，得以操作一個具 沉浸效果的短暫時間，讓我們決定以細砂下陷 所産生自然流動，作為設計要表現的主體。 We found the physical characteristics and accumulable feature of sand can easily illustrate the uncontrollable and non-replicable qualities. Thus, we decided to use this natural flow as our main expression of design.

Product Development_ Begin Stage

After the mechanism was designed, we dealt with the modeling and CMF design.

To make the working prototype, we visited to different kinds of factories and learned how to build a product from scratch. As for presentation, we made a concept film to express our design too.

Sphère The lamp to make space for brain.

Product Introduction_ In nature, a recirculation system from the steady-state would create the simultaneous focus on it, which brings the core value of our product.

With Sphère- Interaction Residential Lamp, people can have a short pause or switch from work by turning on the lamp.

15

自 然 中 的 顆 粒 物 質 有 一 種 特 性 ， 反覆打破 穩定再重新回到平衡狀態的過程中，會讓 人不由自主地停下來，將視線放在上面。

在 這 概 念 中 我 們 希 望 能 以 Sphère 形 型 互 動 立 燈， 藉 著 人 與 燈 的 互 動創造短暫的 視覺停留，讓頭腦重整思緒。

17

透過簡單的行為參與， 創造持續性視覺變化。

A Restoration Experience begins, ...

As the lampshade starts to rotate, the sand would begin to sink, fall and pile up. A ceaselessly-changing movement extends the product interaction, the casting light on the piled-up hills gives an intriguing scene as well.

Sphère 隨著燈罩的轉動，沙會隨之崩解、落下而堆積成型，而這樣的動態 效果延長了人與立燈的互動，因為互動所形成的沙丘，在燈光映照下形成 的光影景致也增添立燈營造的氛圍。

19

Product Feature_ Interaction Design The mechanism desgin for Sphère was combined with the lighting soft-starter and the initiator of sand movement. The two linked operations were triggered by the interaction of Sphère and the user.

Sphère 的作動是緩啓動開關與旋轉軌道機構的結合，讓互動産生彼此連動的兩種效果。

Lighting Design We chose NICHIA incandescent light bulb (2700K, Neutral White)with 25W/110V as the main lighting source. The bulb was designed to tilt at 145 degrees to create the contrast shade on the piled-up hills. 燈源選擇的是暖白色調的日亞牌白熾燈泡，規格為 25W/110V。為了呈現最佳的光影對比，我們 將燈源的照射角度調整為 145 的傾角。

21

Concept Film

Presentation Film _ Process of Film making What we want to value is the atmosphere that Sphère creates, which would be affected by objects from real scene, light conditions and the expression of actor. To make the film more immersive, we shot handheldly as objective veiwpoint to take audience "into" the scene. We also made eye-level shot from different angle to make film more vivid and some close-ups to present product details. 我們很重視它帶給人的氛圍，所以攝影實景的準備、光線條件設置與演員動作安排很關鍵。 為了讓觀者更沉浸，我們以旁觀視角將觀眾帶入，以不同角度與遠近景的轉換使畫面更生動， 並以極、中特寫鏡頭強調産品細節、呈現演員表情與動作的變化。

Reflection_ 動手做，就是想法突破的時候 Remember the time our minds got stuck, and are too afraid to make decisions. We abandoned worries and went to children playground to touch and play with actual sand. There appeared a moment we would never thought of before if we did not visit the place. A relief of sand particles meaned everything to both of us. And the ideas started to explode our brains. 設計師如何與工程師合作無間 The slow-start effect circuit was the main electrical technique for lamp. During the cooperation period, I need to reach a certain understanding of the existing technology and considerate the feasibility and conceptuality. Every engineer has a certain procedure and logic, that's why designer should have a more conceptual view of product to fulfill materialization or extensibility. 製程上的經驗學習 Every component of lamp was produced by factories and assemblied by ourselves.

We kept observed problems such as the uneven light shade, not enough screw holes.

Thanks to those who were willing to help us and teach us some material limitations or manufactural concerns. Sphère was not possible to complete without them.

Our goal_ 我們想帶給使用者的_

As we emphasized the refinement of blender from various aspects, we removed the frightening noise, brought smoothness and diversity to food taste, made it harmonized in any places.

Above all, the only purpose was to create a good experience to users !

Product Operation The beutiful blender is soaking into our life. We focused on the features of the portable blender which is portability and easy to use.

Reflection_ 精實產品研發也是有缺點的?

The Lean Product Development is a compact design method to evaluate and make the nessary decisions, which is a good way for company to reposition their original product and make it stand out from the other competitors.

But this method still exists some shortcomings, such as the well-organized procedure may lead to a stubborn mindset and inelastic design time point; the miniable variable and cost-saving test may of no effect as the experiment is not accurate enough.

WHAT ?

Bamboo is the main recyclable material we want to compose the chair, so we need to know what different shapes it can achieve !

G

Due to the features of bamboo material, we found that most bamboo chairs and furnitures were tough, stiff and almost square-like.

71

"

To let bamboo become softer and more shape-curving is the main challenge for us on skills.

"

Provided and teached us the techniques of bamboo-processing .

- WEI LIANFA Bamboo Warehouse 魏連發竹材店

Teached us a variety of bamboo applications .

- BAI Bamboo Garden Agency 百竹園

Teached and gave us the materials and knitting skill with ratten.

- Tr. Xu Bi-Xia / Bamboo Art Handcrafter 徐碧霞竹藝教師

HOW ?

Thanks to every professionals we have consulted, we were able to process the chair with different method included :

Firing, Bending, Chopping, Tearing, and Weaving. 我們運用了燒製、火烤彎管、劈竹、刨削、編織收邊等加工方法製作。

To form the core frame -

Find a proper bamboo with only 1 joint.

Dissect 8 sections.

Heat and bend it to designed angle.

Reflection_

體驗工藝產品從無到有的過程，很難得的經驗！

但過程中手工處理耗時許久，卻疏忽了產品身處的系統設計。

Due to the unfamiliarity of bamboo material, we were not confident to give the accurate chair design drawings to the bamboo handcrafters, so we chose to try by ourselves.

To make one bamboo chair took us a lot of time and efforts to learn the traditional techniques in less than 3 months.

Although we acquired the craft skills and learned many knowledges of bamboo, it was a pity that we overlooked some of the features like product usability, some potential problems, and the concerns that aroused by those who were in the environmental fields.
