Hexagram 64

Vincent Cheung
 


位於日本鹿兒島的櫻島活火山,每年大大小小爆發不下百次,留下大量火山灰及碎石。Hexagram 64就是以火山灰和碎石配合棕櫚蠟等天然及環保材料製成。設計師希望拉近人與大自然的關係,將火山灰製成日常用品,讓大眾每天都看得到,摸得到,感受火山的存在。設計另一個靈感來自《周易》中的太極,俯瞰或仰視時,洗手盆會呈現逗號形狀,寓意陰陽兩儀。當水流至盆中,行走路線、流動方向都如自然生命中變幻莫測。

材料構思: 曾親身踏足過日本鹿兒島的活火山--櫻島火山, 每年該處均有數百次大小型爆發,留下大量火山灰和碎石於市區當中,看到當地市民會蒐集好並置於塑料袋裏,放在指定放置處供政府回收再利用,最常會製成建築材料如水泥使用。

本作品希望探討火山爆發噴出的火山灰和碎石之延伸使用,混合天然或環保材料,製作出有生命的設計,而非水泥般硬梆梆的製成品。而日常用品似乎最適合不過,每天都看得到;摸得到;感受得到火山切切實實的存在,藉此拉近人與大自然的關係。

同時加入綠色和永續的設計要素,特別選用棕櫚蠟作天然黏合劑,因其具備強抗水能力及生物可降解的特性,與火山灰和碎石結合而成的材質亦十分堅固。

而水槽位置再加設以PP聚丙烯瓶回收再造的塑膠塗層,其耐熱程度可達120℃以上,防止不慎使用,令沸水直接接觸到棕櫚蠟(熔點82℃)而熔化的機會。相比其他塑膠,聚丙烯比較耐碰撞,用家可放心於盆內洗濯物件,而且釋出有毒物質的風險相當低。
