| Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 商業設計研究所 === 99 === Due to fast-paced development in technology and the throw-away life stytle, global warming issues caused by greenhouse effect are getting much more serious than people ever expected. As the awareness of environmental protection is on the rise worldwide, and more people are paying attention to it, government and enterprises in Taiwan appropriately respond to the issues with public policy establishment and self-initiated enterprise responsibility implementation, respectively. Under the aforementioned environmental conciousness, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) industry in Taiwan is increasingly valuing the concept of “cradle to cradle.” which means to reuse and recycle manufactured materials and waste.
The purpose of this research is to make the most of the advantages out from the Taiwan leading industry ─ petrochemical while reducing its production waste.To use its plastic “film” product, which is a petrochemical material, with the concept of designing indoor planters which would house pot plants that is full of green thoughts and can be recycled and reused.
Through literature review and questionnaire investigation, the results indicated that customers prefer visual images which are cute and fun styles. Therefore, “Seasons Series,” “Fruits Series,” “St. Valentine’s Day Series” and “Wedding Series” were developed in the study. The image of the planters was created by using the color of pink in high saturation and low brightness. The planters are design to be placed in the office or at home. For more pleasant environment not only improving the indoor air quality , but also creating better mood for studying or working.
The plastic material“film”is light, easy accessible and inexpensive；it can also be produced in mass volume without difficulty. The original idea of the planter body’s design is from the hexagonal shape of beehives. This is not only makes the planters be stacked easily to form different shapes, but the visual effect also can be changed
according to individual preference, space and special occasions to bring in pleasant and exciting living / working environment .
