OWL 时间胶囊

Designs On— Aging

By Elger Oberwelz and Yusuke Miyashita

A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can’t we all be like that wise old bird?
(English Nursery Rhyme)

OWL (On the Wisdom of Life) is an elegant thought time capsule flanked with 80 glass tubes representing the years of your life. Each year, you are asked to write a reflection on the past year and a hope for the coming year to be placed it in one of the vessels. Tubes that live above the wooden piece represent the wisdom you’ve accumulated, with varying heights symbolizing the ups and downs of the year. The tubes below represent the potential for years ahead.

Quietly perched in the living room as decor, the OWL extends to all generations and can help families share each other’s histories visually on the wall.

聪明猫头鹰，住在橡树梢；
越是见得多，越是说得少；
越是说得少，越是听得多；
都学猫头鹰，人人这样做。
（英国童谣）

OWL 是一个造型优雅的时间胶囊，插在两侧的80个玻璃管里写满了你的人生故事。每过一年，您回顾过去，展望未来，在新的小玻璃瓶中写下对下一年的期望。木条上方的玻璃管代表着您已经积累的人生智慧，高高低低仿佛人生的起起伏伏。下方的玻璃管代表着未来的潜力和期待。

静静地坐落于客厅一角，好像装饰一般，代代相传，这是家人们分享过往时最生动和形象的记载。
