YUAN-LING GUAN

Ling Tung University

I am a student at Ling Tung University, majoring in Creative Product Design. I hold professional certifications in Adobe Photoshop (Level C) and SolidWorks (CSWP). In 2025, I participated in the Universal Design Competition and was honored with an Award of Merit. As someone who wasn’t very confident, I initially felt anxious and overwhelmed when my work was first selected. However, through repeated discussions with my professors and continuous refinements of my presentation, I gained invaluable skills in layout design, technical writing, and public speaking. This experience not only earned me the award but also built my courage. I am incredibly proud of myself for reaching this milestone and gaining a broader perspective on design. In this current competition, I want to challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone. Although I am working with unfamiliar materials for the first time, I have conducted extensive research to ensure that my design is both aesthetically pleasing and commercially viable.

「皮革玫瑰胸針」設計為核心,結合工藝美學與感官互動概念,重新定義傳統配件的體驗。靈感來自皮革對濕氣的天然敏感度。透過精確的結構設計與細緻的手工塑形,花瓣在乾燥時呈現優雅且閉合的花苞。當塗抹精油或香水時,皮革纖維吸收液體並膨脹,使花瓣緩緩展開——如同花朵甦醒——賦予作品栩栩如生且動態的變化。 除了精緻且經典的視覺吸引力外,此設計還融合了視覺、嗅覺與觸覺的多感官體驗。佩戴者可選擇偏好香氛來個人化胸針,讓它在不同情境中傳達不同的心情與氛圍。這不僅提升了情感連結,也提升了個人價值。同時,皮革經過多重手工工藝,包括染色、切割與塑形,保留其自然的溫暖與細膩質感。因此,每件作品都成為獨一無二的藝術品。 在結構上,這款胸針結合了穩定的金屬底座與精緻設計的容器,確保了耐用性與美學的和諧。整體風格融合了復古優雅與現代工藝,展現出細膩卻精緻的個性。最終,這個專案旨在將靜態配件轉化為互動且易於察覺的藝術品,讓使用者能在日常穿著中體驗材料變形帶來的詩意美感與驚喜,從而提升生活品質與美學欣賞。
