紙芝居源於日本,「芝居」在日文漢字中是「戲劇」的意思。
看著這部經過改裝的單車,你會否感到很疑惑、奇怪?其實這單車的名字叫「紙芝居」,對許多日本的小朋友來說,他們一定不會感到陌生,因為「紙芝居」是日本獨特的文化財產。「紙芝居」即是「紙戲劇」,是一種用圖畫展示和表演的方式去說故事給孩子聽。說故事的人就像載著紙戲劇的表演舞台到處去,以連續劇的方式把故事的歡樂帶給觀眾。
這輛樣子精美的單車,其實本來是一輛殘殘舊舊的二手的日本單車,經過復修後,回復了本來單車的功能,甚至變得比以前更好。單車的主要顏色,改裝時掃上了簡單又優雅的鋼琴黑色,樸實典雅,又不會搶去車尾上圖話故事的風頭。到了整輛單車最重要的部份— 一個度身訂做的書櫃,在訂造時,要考慮很多的因素,例如須採用薄木板做主要材料,避免單車太重,書櫃也不可造得太大,讓小朋友有一個更適合和舒適的高度去聽故事。同時亦須備有一個較小型的櫃桶,這樣才可以用作放置圖畫。因此,說是「度身訂造」,真是一點也不誇張。
在木頭染色處理方面,採用了既環保又天然的鐵綉染,即以一些不用的鐵碎和白醋染出來的顏色。這種染色方法被廣泛地應用在不同的地方上,如傢俬、藝術作品、甚至在歐美應用於潮流衣服上。在大家的腦海中,鐵綉總是給予人們負面的形象,人們總認為鐵綉是一些無用的、殘舊的廢品,可是,對於我們,作為永續設計師來說,這些一般人眼中的廢品,卻是珍寶,更是最浪漫的廢物利用。
