Selected Taiwanese phonetic symbols — ㄊ, ㄨ, ㄏ, ㄆ — are adopted as the primary elements of design. Visually, part of the animals are integrated with phonetic symbols to form “a new breed.”

Re-presso Spoon, a co-creation by eco-friendly-tech company MINIWIZ, uses the flat-bottomed spoon, a cutlery of choice in Taiwan culture.
With the help of TRASHPRESSO, MINIWIZ’s mobile recycling plant, the artwork adds value to single-use plastic by playfully branding it with different usage and in different sizes - the basic Jiáo (dumpling), the bowl-shaped Wán (ball) and the plate-shaped Bāo (bun).
This newly shaped spoon looks at how culture can be combined with everyday objects and how the future can be shaped through value-added reusage.
