馬蹄蓮 Calla Lily

Category: Footwear

Competitions: Taiwan Region

本作品以馬術騎士靴為設計靈感,結合馬術精神與馬蹄蓮(海芋)的象徵意涵,展現剛柔並濟的設計語言。整體造型透過挺拔的鞋筒線條,傳遞如騎士般堅定自信的姿態,呼應騎乘者穩重、果敢的特質。鞋面選用可自然氧化老化的植鞣革,並應用皮雕、皮染、手縫與彩繪等多項皮革工藝,細緻描繪馬毛的自然紋理,呈現出動態與生命力。鞋頭則以海芋為主題進行雕刻與染色,象徵純潔、堅韌與優雅,喻示創作者在設計過程中對細節與情感的深度投入。作品在設計與技術之間尋求平衡,透過植鞣革的自然質感與職人手作的溫度,傳遞皮革工藝所承載的文化與情感。整體風格兼具實用性與藝術性,呈現對馬術文化的致敬與對皮革創作的熱愛。期望藉由此作品,傳達出設計者內心強韌而溫柔的創作精神。

The car is decorated with shiny laser cuts and high-quality leather, with a design featuring sea turtles swimming among coral reefs (represented by the laser cuts). However, we must also note that the bleaching of coral reefs has caused severe damage to the marine ecosystem. Therefore, after removing the shiny laser cuts, the white leather represents the bleached coral reefs, serving as a reminder to people of the importance of protecting the marine environment.
