公司舉辦演講,請來『琉園』、『琉璃工坊』創辦人王俠軍先生,談談新品牌『八方新氣』的心路過程。

在這之前,琳並不去特別注意瓷器,只知道家裡用的康寧餐具很耐,以及百貨公司的瓷器專櫃很高『貴』。

演講中,王先生分析創立『八方心氣』所遭遇到的困難,包括品牌、通路、產品、團隊,相較於外國百年品牌,每一項都像是銅牆鐵壁,擋在前方。

本著『與其最好,不如唯一』的精神,王先生突破重重障礙,創作出一件件富有中華文化、生活情趣的日常用品。看著投影片上令人賞心悅目的瓷器,才發現,原來瓷器可以與人互動,生活可以這麼豐富,它就藏在每日微不足道的細節當中,這就是大師之所以為大師的心思啊!

可能是談論到仿品的問題吧!王先生提到一句『只有外象,沒有內涵』,這八個字,讓琳很認真的把它寫下來,並細細琢磨、省思。

最後,王先生採用Robert Frost的詩句,為演講作個總論:

『I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.』

今年四月,『八方新氣』會進駐新竹SOGO,到時候,就算買不起,也一定要去參觀。



Road Not Taken

                 一條未走的路

        TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, 
        And sorry I could not travel both 
        And be one traveler, long I stood 
        And looked down one as far as I could 
        To where it bent in the undergrowth;

            黃葉林中有路雙岔,
            可惜我不能兩條都走,
            我這位旅者,佇立良久,
            極目遠望,
            有條彎路沒入草叢。

        Then took the other, as just as fair, 
        And having perhaps the better claim, 
        Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 
        Though as for that the passing there 
        Had worn them really about the same,

            而我選擇他路,同樣秀麗,
            或許它更加值得,
            因為路上雜草叢生,正待君來踩踏;
            即便此地往來行旅,
            已把雙徑蹂躪得難分上下。

        And both that morning equally lay 
        In leaves no step had trodden black. 
        Oh, I kept the first for another day! 
        Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 
        I doubted if I should ever come back.

            而當日早晨,同樣落葉覆蓋的兩條路,
            未遭足跡污染踐踏。
            啊,我留下第一條改天再走!
            卻覺路走過一條接一條,
            遲疑是否該走回頭。

        I shall be telling this with a sigh 
        Somewhere ages and ages hence: 
        Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— 
        I took the one less traveled by, 
        And that has made all the difference.

            他日他地,歲歲年年之後,
            這段往事我將邊嘆息邊說:
            林中有路雙岔;而我——
            選了乏人行走的一條,
            從此一切都大不相同。
