关于 Meta Zen Meta Zen：触感冥想的艺术转化
李雨萌设计的革新玩具，重塑内心平和
在快节奏的现代生活中，Meta Zen作为一款触感冥想玩具，为成年人提供了一种独特的放松方式。设计师李雨萌通过简约的设计理念，将禅宗美学与模块化创新相结合，创造出这款能够调节情绪、促进内心平衡的玩具。
Meta Zen的设计灵感源自禅宗，这一全球公认的内心平静修炼方式。艺术形式遵循禅宗的审美原则，包括简约、微妙的深邃之美和宁静。与道教相契合，单一的基础模块展现了流动的感觉；组合起来的神秘图案反映了佛教的世界观。它传达了简复一体的智慧：相同的基础模块可以重新排列组合成数百万种组合，形成在游戏中体现侘寂美学和功能性的系统。
Meta Zen是一款诗意的成人玩具，也是一种可变换的室内装饰设计，适用于社区空间或临时场合。在形式上追求极简，这些模块可以自然地完成任何规模和复杂度的动态沙纹，从三件套的桌面物件到整个立面装饰，都能在几分钟内营造出禅意氛围。模块化面板内嵌磁铁，方便精确对齐，适合视觉障碍者、老年人和手部颤抖的用户使用。
所有模块都是可重配置的，以消除为了不同建筑而进行的不必要购买，从而提高可持续性。所有可大规模生产的部件均由完全可生物降解的PLA制成。只添加了竹子和藻类等天然纤维来调节自然色彩和质感。专利的山脊和山谷几何形状以卫生和方便的方式表达了禅宗，形成了不断变化的拼图图案，提高了可访问性和重玩性。

- 生产技术
- All modules are reconfigurable to eliminate any redundant purchases for building differently to improve sustainability. All mass-producible parts are made from fully biodegradable PLA. Only natural fibers including bamboo and algae are added to tune natural color and texture.
The patented ridges and valleys geometrically express zen with a hygienic and handy setup forming ever-changing puzzle patterns that improve accessibility and replayability. - 设计挑战
- The core challenge was serving two audiences: offering a non-screen anxiety relief for individuals in quarantine and ensuring hotels, even as temporary isolation spaces, offering humane care through natural visuals and a universal zen cultural experience.
Another critical difficulty was ensuring the project allowed for easy reconfiguration by subsequent users over time, with potential future use as a playset for group activities and as an indoor installation adaptable to various scenarios. - 研究
- Research shows tactile activities reduce quarantine anxiety, digital fatigue, and physical interaction scarcity. Employing widely recognized Zen aesthetics and computational tools, we crafted a modular system based on Taoist principles. With just three angles, it enables infinite Zen landscapes, combining geometric innovation and tactile inclusivity. This approach facilitates easy, unique Zen space creation for meditation, requiring no sand or expertise, prioritizing ease and hygiene.
- 灵感
- Zen, is globally acknowledged for cultivating inner peace through performing activities.
Artistic forms follow the aesthetic principles of Zen including simplicity; subtly profound grace, and tranquility.
Aligned with Daoism, one single base module demonstrates a sense of flow; the assembled mysterious patterns reflect the worldview of Buddhism.
It conveys the wisdom of simplexity: Identical base modules can be rearranged into millions of combinations, forming the system in play that manifests wabi-sabi both aesthetically and functionally. - 项目周期
- Launched in December 2021 and completed in July 2022, this project was initially developed during the pandemic for adults living in collective quarantine settings. It aimed to reduce the anxiety of remote working individuals.
This project won European Product Design Award, and International Design Awards in 2022, and was selected as finalists in Product and User Experience categories of iF Design Award in 2023. It was featured on Yanko Design in January and Puxiang Design in February 2023. - 操作流程
