“Guide” is a relief seat designed to help hikers perform precise stretching during rest stops along the trail. Side rails guide the upper limbs to stretch within the coronal plane, while musical scale feedback indicates the stretching intensity. Colored bands provide visual cues for the forward extension range of the legs. With a lightweight and intuitive design, the seat encourages natural interaction, supporting outdoor physical well-being while maintaining friendliness and adaptability within shared public mountain environments.
Trace of plants

We recreate the forms of extinct Taiwanese plants through paper sculpture, guiding participants to gradually understand plant structures and further explore the stories and values carried behind them through the hands-on making process.
The originally flat package is designed to store the instruction sheet and material components, and can later be reassembled into a trapezoidal structure that transforms into a display base for the paper sculpture. The base is illustrated with the plants’ original habitats, allowing the packaging to become more than a disposable medium, but instead something that can be preserved and continuously reused.
Through the process of reconstructing these plants by hand, participants are invited to rediscover the beauty of their forms, while reflecting on the environmental significance and conservation values embedded within them through both observation and assembly.
We have received your opinions, and will get back to you as soon as possible!
