slowood eco-stories

新開張愉景灣店秉承slowood一貫的簡約北歐風。由牆身、陳架、擺設，以至地板，都以最呈現素材質感為大前提，簡單且不會讓人忘記材料的本質，希望在設計上更有「人與大自然共融」的感覺。店內的環保木材是FSC認證，確保森林的永續性。還有佑大的玻璃窗，讓陽光可以最大量、最充足地照到舖內，因為大自然中，陽光是不可或缺的。加上愉景灣獨特的海灣風景，令整家店比堅尼地城的大自然感更重。 愉景灣店還加入了環保的「廢物upcycle」手法。近大門位置，陳架用人手將再造紙逐一貼上。再以同一風格，用裝潢廢料作充填，再造紙包面，造成石頭形狀的裝飾，表達地球上每一份資源，都可以回歸本源，然後重新成為另一份資源的永續的概念。 另外，新店其獨特之處，就是佔位三分一的園藝部。老闆的心思是希望愉景灣的「森林感」重一點，除了提倡永續外，還想讓每一位踏進slowood的，都可以藉著親近大自然而放慢緊張的生活節奏，感受綠化帶給生活的能量，淨化心靈；再借每一盆植物，讓大家能將這種「在slowood的感覺」帶回家。

There's something so calming about sitting in a library, in a community space that is focused on respect and silence. I remember finding the act of borrowing a book exciting, it was almost special that it wasn't yours and you would only get to experience it for a small amount of time. Special that others would get to experience it too. But as I grew up it was a habit I lost, in part due to living in a society focused more on possession than sharing, and in part due to it simply not being a popular option anymore. 

In recent years, being a green finger is no longer just a choice; it has become a responsibility. To help save the earth that our survival is dependent on, it is important to opt for a sustainable lifestyle. While you may think individual endeavour is just a drop in an ocean, don’t get frustrated. Our behaviours can inspire our peers, and this is how we can amplify our impact - and it is always how a revolution begins. So, if you want to help save the Earth, start the little revolution with yourself.
