Beneath the cold metal lies an unseen beauty.
This year, SSL debuted its cross-disciplinary "Industry & Times Art" exhibition at the Taiwan Design Fair - Changhua. Based on industrial processes, they combined cultural imagery and aesthetic creativity to present three new works: a Blue and White Porcelain Drive Shaft, a Blue and White Porcelain Rendered Leather Case, and a 3D Exploded View Drive Shaft Installation.
This is more than just a technological showcase; it's an attempt to "let industry speak."
Seeing the Possibility of Beauty from Industry
SSL has long specialized in drive shaft manufacturing, leveraging rigorous craftsmanship and accumulated technology to support the operation of countless machines. However, for this exhibition, the team chose to reinterpret the product from a fresh perspective—the drive shaft is no longer just a structural component; it can become a carrier of culture and a medium for art. "We hope that through these works, viewers can see another side of industry. It can be precise and rational, yet elegant and emotional." Exhibition Highlights Blue and White Porcelain Drive Shaft: A Dialogue between Tradition and Technology Incorporating classic oriental patterns into the metal surface, the flowing lines of blue and white across the steel symbolize the fusion of traditional culture and modern craftsmanship. More than just a drive shaft, it's a dialogue—a balance between cool and warm, hard and soft, showcasing the balance between culture and technology.
Blue and White Porcelain Rendered Leather Case: An Extension of Flexibility and Strength
The leather-wrapped exterior is rendered with a blue and white pattern, showcasing a softness and tactile feel rarely seen in industrial structures.
This work prompts a rethinking: When technology is integrated into our lives, can it also possess warmth and tactile qualities?
3D Exploded View of a Drive Shaft: The Art of Deconstruction
Using engineering visual language to reconstruct product structure, this 3D exploded view allows viewers to clearly see the order and rhythm between the components.
This is an experiment in "technological aesthetics"—allowing people to see the power of creation through deconstruction.
Cross-border Experimentation, Moving for Future Design
This exhibition not only represents SSL's redefinition of industrial design but also a new journey exploring "design language."
In the rotation of the drive shaft, we witness the flow of art; in the mechanical structure, we hear the voice of culture.
SSL believes that when industrial technology meets design imagination, beauty is no longer just decoration, but the starting point of innovation.
