台灣擁有多元文化,其中節慶文化的發展頗具地方特色。歷史的脈絡與當地民俗風情是節慶發展之要素,也非常值得推廣與應用。然而在工業化社會推使之下,很多節慶的文化精神一直在精簡化,同時繁忙生活也漸漸淡忘那先人流傳下來的文化脈絡,現今需透過許多的節慶活動,讓人們在休閒娛樂之餘,還能體悟文化深層的傲骨。時至今日,地方上也不斷舉辦各項新興的節慶活動,正宣告了台灣文化消費時代的到來。 本創作探討台灣節慶文化相關活動並擷取文化特色,將其元素轉化為具有經濟價值之文化商品,主題為「年年好」,將「年」視為一個單位,納入八項年節特色作為設計主軸。年節各項活動所要傳達的是消災解厄、祈求好運及熱鬧團圓的意象。因此在各個喧鬧的慶典祭儀背後蘊含著深層意義。為了讓節慶文化能融入生活用品中,以其中廣為人知的八項節慶作為商品設計的主軸,用較具節慶色彩之意象與作品結合,以「食」、「衣」、「住」、「行」四個面向作為分類,藉由彙整文化商品的相關理論,以節慶意象轉化於文化商品之架構,引導出產品意象設計,多以趣味性與故事性的轉化於其中,讓使用者更了解商品之文化意涵。 為考量生活用品的多樣化,故作品採用木材、竹子、皮革、玻璃、帆布以及柴絲草之天然材料,將各材質運用至其中。希望透過商品展現工藝品之文化價值,讓本創作樸質的外形能看見文化語彙之圖像,又能加強文化商品永續發展之重要性。
