This time, the manhole cover coaster 3.0 has the shadow of the past coasters, but has its own characteristics. For the first time, it uses up to 50% of Sun Moon Lake mud as a material to reproduce the classic appearance of the manhole cover. Bring the breath of nature back into your and my life. Obtained the 2022 Product Design Category-Golden Pin Award Seal! Choose the manhole cover, the best-selling work of Taipower Cultural and Creative Industries, as the shape of the coaster, and experience the presentation of the same shape but different materials from coal ash clay, coal Cement, and bottom mud clay. This time there is still no dyeing, retaining the color of the mud itself, and feeling the purest beauty of the mud without staining. This project is co-branded with Shuanghao 2byWu&Chen, using Sun Moon Lake mud as the main material, combined with Taiwan's exquisite ceramic firing technology - Taihua kiln production, and retaining the original color of the material, reproducing the popular product manhole cover coaster. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52082025604_fbf000c4ee_b.jpg **[Sun Moon Lake mud manhole cover and mud coaster]** Since the characteristics of the bottom mud material are different from those of ordinary clay, past experience values cannot be directly applied. Therefore, more than hundreds of experiments were conducted during the development process to find a suitable production method for the bottom mud material. The new version of the Sun Moon Lake mud manhole cover coaster has a different color than before. The bottom mud fired in a high-temperature kiln has a pink-orange hue, which is very different from the common reddish-brown pottery clay. It is also different from the earlier version of the manhole cover coaster. The color of the bottom mud after firing gave the design team new inspiration to design a new style for Taipower Cultural and Creative Industries. The bottom mud is not easy to process because it comes from the bottom of Sun Moon Lake and contains impurities from the water. It is viscous and difficult to use alone. Therefore, we borrowed the experience of making coal ash to homogenize the material by lightly burning the mud before mixing it into the clay. For firing, the proportion used is 50%. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52082280760_be718d1fdb_b.jpg Double Good Design 2byWu&Chen used the gray and blue of Taipower Engineering Uniforms and the pink orange of the manhole cover coasters after being fired in a high-temperature kiln as the main packaging colors to give the manhole cover coasters a new look. In addition to the eye-catching pink color, newly designed small electrified icons appear everywhere, outlining the subtle but indispensable electrified elements in our daily lives. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52081792091_563007fecd_b.jpg ** TPCreative** **Minimalist "trendy blue" packaging design pays tribute to Taipower's frontline engineering staff** "In the early stage of the design, we visited the Sun Moon Lake Power Plant and many Taipower materials warehouses, and found that every material was accurately and neatly classified by Taipower employees, with color, appearance, and usage as sub-categories. This also became the minimalist trendy electric blue The key inspiration for packaging design. "In order to echo the circular and sustainable brand spirit of Taipower Cultural and Creative Industries, Shuanghao Design developed an exclusive integrated packaging structure. After a piece of paper is folded in a delicate way, it can provide a buffering effect for the contents and reduce the external appearance. Unnecessary cutting and waste of packaging paper. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52082289705_fa308a9d23_b.jpg **"TPC Power On" series of products** https://www.pinkoi.com/product/8i7sJ6y5 (Sun Moon Lake mud manhole cover coaster-single entry) https://www.pinkoi.com/product/6AxGcetU (Sun Moon Lake mud manhole cover coaster and water cup set | Lightning model) https://www.pinkoi.com/product/fQhpamFF (Sun Moon Lake mud manhole cover coaster and water cup set | hole cover version) https://www.pinkoi.com/product/U8rX6Jwe (Sun Moon Lake mud manhole cover coasters - four pieces) https://www.pinkoi.com/product/LAVS3YsN (Hole cover pattern water cup, lightning water cup-four pieces) Specifications Product name: Manhole cover coaster Coaster material: Sun Moon Lake bottom mud, coal ash, ceramics Coaster size: inner diameter about 90mm±2mm Origin: Taiwan Coaster manufacturing: Taihua kiln Packaging design: Shuanghao 2byWu&Chen Executing Unit: Taipower Cultural and Creative Industries -The product content includes 1 manhole cover and mud coaster. -The bottom mud and coal ash materials will undergo changes in color and pores after being fired at high temperatures, which are normal phenomena. -Product packaging is printed with soy ink.
