百年好“盒”Love For All Seasons
by Chow Hoi Yeung, Ocean



Most marriages go through at least three distinct stages:
1) Romantic Phase,
2) Disillusionment Phase, and
3) Friendship Phase.
According to studies, communication is the most vital way to maintain and build a happy marriage relationship.
In order to enhance communication in those stages of marriage, Love For All Seasons Box is designed for the newly married couples. This box contains all the tools to write love letters. Spouses can deliver their feelings by the letters with a sense of ritual. Couple can review their vows and commitments together with the scented candle to trigger their memories.
Bringing a sense of ceremony to the everyday life can be an effective way to recognise and celebrate the little things of couples. To maintain the Love for all seasons, the letters collected are more than pieces of paper. They are the reasons and experience to strength their marriage relationship.
By using this box, it is intended that the couples will express their appreciation through the letter effectively more than just instant messages through smart phone. Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right soul mate, but through communicating and learning to be the right soul mate.
多數婚姻經曆三個階段:浪漫階段,幻滅階段,友誼階段。據調查,良好溝通是建立幸福婚姻的方式。
為加強不同階段的交流,我為新婚夫婦設計了「百年好“盒”」。這盒子包含書寫情書的工具。夫婦可藉此盒子表達愛意,以信為溝通媒介,更可增添儀式感。夫婦可燃點香薰蠟燭,一起回顧大家的承諾。
將儀式感帶入日常生活是認識和慶祝夫妻小事的有效方式。為了延續更長久的愛情,收集到的信件不僅是一張信紙。這些都是可以鞏固婚姻關係的原因和經驗。
通過使用這盒子,期望夫婦們不只是通過手機發信息,而是用信件更有效地表達他們互相的感激之情。婚姻的成功不是因為找到合適的人,而是通過溝通成為一個合適的伴侶。
