在日常的時間,察覺生鏽的刻度。
Perceive the phenomenon related to the rust in our daily lives.
概念 Design Concept
生鏽是時間從無形轉化為形體的過程。
鏽時探索人與鏽之間的時間關係和人對時間的感知,從生鏽的過程實驗與觀察,將鐵鏽在不同時間與環境呈現的姿態、紋理和美感融入設計中,並將鏽與我們的距離貼近,以獨特的方式感受生鏽、感受時間。
專題發想於日常生活中隨處可見的鐵鏽,我們在這段過程探索鏽的多樣性,不論是生成鏽所需要的時間、鏽的顏色以及其中所承載的意義。在被視為陳舊、廢棄的媒材中實驗,應用於平面和產品設計,表現「能被看見的時間」。
Rust exemplifies the process of the time.
This project explores the interrelation between people and rust. Based on the experiment and the observation, we incorporate various appearances and textures of rust into the design in order to represent our understanding of aesthetics and expect that people may thus be closer to the rust and sense the rust in a distinctive way.
The idea comes from our daily experiences and we hope to explore the diversity of rust, including the time required to produce rust, the color of rust and the meaning it carries. Starting from the material that is usually misunderstood or discarded, we reinvent it by utilizing it in graphic and product design widely and further show our central concept: the time which can be seen.
視覺設計應用 Graphic Design
將鐵鏽隨時間變化的特性實踐在印刷中,製成印樣書本與年曆。鐵鏽顏料的印製品會隨著時間的流逝、水氣的吸收漸漸氧化,呈現不同的姿態,展現時間的痕跡。
We apply different states of rust to printed books and calendars. These printed products will show diverse appearances when they gradually oxidize and absorb the moisture.
產品設計應用 Product Design
扭轉的時間 - 第四十五號 [筆筒]
發想自螺帽廢鐵,運用上下兩個六角形銜接出流線曲面。
Reversal of Time - No.45. [Pen Holder]
The concept comes from a rusty screw nut. We used the upper and lower hexagons to connect the streamlining surface.
交錯的時間 - 第九十號 [衛生紙盒]
運用摺紙概念彎折鐵,在每個邊緣嘗試弧度的可能性。
Interleaving Time - No.90. [Tissue Paper Holder]
We used the origami concept to bend the metal and to challenge the possibility of it.
循環的時間 - 第一百八十號 [時鐘]
鐘面造型以180 度爲單位週期循環對稱曲面形成。
Cyclicality of Time - No.180. [Clock]
The clock is formed by cyclic symmetrical curved surface in 180°.
仿鏽漆料 Lacquer
表層材質上運用漆料仿鏽,藉由使用者不同的使用習慣,留下不同鏽蝕與使用時間的痕跡。
On the surface of the products, we use the rust-imitated lacquer. The surface changes depending on different ways of using it.
五十四色 色票應用 54-Color Samples
時間是具有感染力的語言,在陳舊的鏽中找到時間留下的美。鏽蝕的過程中,鏽會隨著外在環境產生不同顏色,甚至會與金屬表面的漆料融合產生多顏色,在鏽實驗過程的最後,我們在環境與實驗中取大量常見的顏色,製作五十四色的色票,並在表面仿鏽紋理。
Time is an attractive language, and we can find its beauty in the old rust. In the process of rusting, rust produces different colors depending on the external
environment and it even produces multiple colors when it merges with the paint on the metal surface. At the end of the experiment, we took a lot of common colors in nature and made them into 54-color samples with rusty texture.

設計過程 Design Process
實驗性的媒材主題,讓進行的時間充滿不確定的因素,如同我們想表述的「時間的樣貌」也是變幻莫測,而如何將這份會隨時間變化的不確定性化為設計的獨特性,是我們致力追求的方向。會隨時間生鏽的印刷品、會隨時間留下使用痕跡的仿鏽產品和大量採集的鏽色票在每一次的實驗中,漸漸趨於完整。
The experimental project is full of uncertainty, and time itself is also unpredictable. How to turn the uncertain factors into the uniqueness of the design is our final goal. The rusted print that will rust over time, the rust-like products that will be left traces by users time after time and the large collection of rust-colored chips were gradually completed.
我們造訪廢鐵廠,看見生鏽的廢鐵奄奄一息成堆在我們眼前,拍攝紀錄各種鏽的樣貌,並帶走一些廢鐵零件,從中發想設計,期望能創造因為鏽化而留下的設計,而不再是因為鏽化丟棄。
When we visited the scrap metal factory, we saw the rusty iron piled up. We noticed the iron pieces were dismantled and they rusted in the rotten smell.
We took pictures of various rusts and collected some parts of scrap irons to design our product. We hope that rust becomes the one we would like to cherish rather than to discard.
接著,我們提煉不同的鏽色,製成顏料與色票,搜集鐵件並翻印在胚布上採集鏽的紋路。在改良與發想的時間中,我們嘗試各種鏽製成色票的方法、鏽在印刷上的方式以及產品應用。
Next, we refined different rust colors and made them into pigments and color samples. We also collected iron pieces and reprinted them on the grey cloth. At the same time, we tried various methods to improve our applications.
