《老莊思想應用於產品設計之方法》以作品「逸境」為例

Laozi and Zhuangzi's Concept Applied to Product Design: Take a Creation ''Yi Jing'' as an Example

綜觀已開發國家，尤以歷史悠久的國家，諸如英國|荷蘭|德國或亞洲日本等，均有許多生活日用品之創意，源自於該國之文化經驗，甚至於延伸成為該國的文化創意產業。「在地化即國際化」亦成為在地文化元素形成一種具備識別性的國際化意象。台灣在中華文化薰陶下，文明發展深受儒道思想的影響，在地文化意識的自覺，不斷在我輩發酵。本文希望探討產品設計，是否能發展一套源自中華文化思維的設計創作方法？本創作研究聚焦於探討老莊思想，以「無為而無不為」驗證一套務實的設計理論。首先本文於文獻研究探討老莊思想的要義，整理出「抱一」、「無為」、「守柔」、「誰形」、「勝物」五個要義，發展成設計方法的參考依據。然後進一步將五要義之設計方法套入本人的創作作品，產品品名為「逸境」。首創以瓦楞紙材作為灌注陶瓷裝的模具，而非使用石膏模具，使得瓦楞紙的紋理與原模的肌理融合為一體，隨著創作者與創作物產出的過程，展現產品獨一無二的「樸質」感特質。驗證並總結設計方法與老莊思想之間的關係。本創作研究希望可作為當代原創性創作理論與創作美學發展的參考，設計工作者可視其以另類的創作手法呈現老莊思想應用於產品設計之方法，展現當代原創性的設計理論基礎。

Viewing the developed countries, especially those with long history such as the U.K., the Netherlands, Germany, and Japan, have many creativities in their daily commodities. Such creativities derive from the culture and experiences of the countries, which even extend to become of their cultural creativity industry. ''Localization is globalization'' has also become an identifiable international image formed by the local culture elements. Under the influence of Chinese culture, Taiwan has developed a strong reflection of Confucianism and Taoism. The self-awareness of local culture has been rising in this generation. In this article, it is hoped to discuss whether a set of design and creation methods based on the thinking of Chinese culture can be developed. The concept of Laozi and Zhuangzi are the focus in this creation study, taking ''acting by not interfering'' to verify a practical design theory. Firstly, the essential ideas of concept of Laozi and Zhuangzi are discussed with literatures, concluding the 5 ideas of ''oneness'', ''non-action'', ''gentleness'', ''styleless'', and ''transcendence'' as the bases for design method. Furthermore, the design method of these 5 ideas is applied to my work, which is named as ''Yi Jing''. For this work, instead of plaster, the corrugated fiberboards are firstly used as the mold for infusing ceramic paste, making texture of the material merging with that of the mold. As the work is created by the creator, the unique sense of ''Purity'' is presented. Thereafter, the correlation between the design methods and the concept of Laozi and Zhuangzi is verified and concluded. It is hoped that this creation study can be taken as a reference for contemporary original creation theory as well as for creation aesthetics development. Other designers can consider it as another way for presenting the concept of Laozi and Zhuangzi in product design and express the basis of design theory in contemporary originality.
