城市街頭常見的棄置椅子、燈具或衣櫃往往被視為市容累贅。然而，在宜蘭，「海波浪文化事業有限公司」以「再生老家具．循環生活化」為題，嘗試將這些被遺忘的物件重新帶回公共視野。計畫以走讀、座談、工作坊與展覽串聯出一條學習路徑，將廢棄家具轉化為承載永續教育與城市美學的媒介。
Old and broken chairs, lamps, or closets often discarded on the streets are seen as eyesores. However, in Yilan, Seabelongings draws inspiration from the concept of “Bring Old Furniture Back to Life”, encouraging the public to rediscover these forgotten pieces. Through outdoor learning, forums, workshops, and exhibitions, the project has created a learning pathway that transforms discarded furniture into a medium for sustainability education and urban aesthetics.
行動的起點是街區走讀。團隊帶領參與者走入大同區，以觀察並紀錄的方式，串起家具背後的生活記憶與被丟棄的社會脈絡。接續舉辦的「你丟我撿」座談會，則透過故事交換與經驗分享，引導大眾理解：廢棄物可以以另一種姿態存在。
This project begins with outdoor learning. The team guides participants to Datong District in Taipei to explore and record the stories behind discarded furniture and understand why it was abandoned. Later, a forum called “You Throw, I Pick Up” is held, where participants share their stories and experiences to show the public that waste can be given new life with a fresh perspective.
在工作坊環節，廢材經由創意與工藝被賦予新生命，例如，電風扇外殼與薯榔渣染線交織成「漁網燈」；染材與廢紙漿則轉化為再生紙海龜；舊家具經修復後回到生活場景，重現功能與價值。這些實作過程讓參與者親身體會，所謂「廢棄」並不是所有物件的終點。
During the workshop, waste materials are given new life through creativity and craftsmanship. For example, the Fishnet Lamp is made from an electric fan cover and yarn dyed with Dioscorea cirrhosa; recycled paper sea turtles are created from dyed fibers and reused pulp; and old furniture is repaired and restored with new function and value. These hands-on processes allow participants to experience firsthand that being discarded is not the end of an object’s life.
最終成果凝聚於「廢棄家具重生展」，並搭配「以物易物」交換與跨域合作，讓改造後的家具重新進入社區，形成可被使用、被流通的循環。
The project culminates in the Reborn Exhibition of Waste Furniture, which offers a “Barter” experience and cross-functional collaboration. Through this, the renewed furniture is returned to the community, allowing the recycled pieces to be used again and again.
透過這一系列行動，海波浪展現了永續教育的力量：從環境觀察到實作體驗，從修復展覽到日常應用，老家具的重生不僅改變了物件的命運，也啟發人們重新思考與物的關係，將永續真正帶進生活。
Through these events, Seabelongings shows the power of sustainability education: from exploring the environment to hands-on practice, from repair exhibitions to daily use. The rebirth of old furniture not only gives new life to objects but also encourages people to rethink their connection with things and bring sustainability into everyday life.
