and it has over 60 years of history.

在地經營已超過六十年

This place was built by spare factories here

是利用閒置的廠房所成立的

and it exhibits a lot of different classic pieces of furniture,

這裡展示著很多經典家具

and also the ingredients of how the furniture is made.

也展示著各種家具原料

What's really fascinating about this place is that

更有趣的是

these pieces of furniture do not require any nails.

家具不用釘子

They use this special technique called mortise and tenon,

就可以組合起來的榫卯工法

where you have two different parts of furniture,

如果你有兩個不同的構件

if they are in the right size and shape,

它們的尺寸大小和形狀可相合

they assemble together perfectly.

就可以完美地組合起來

That is really cool.

非常有意思

And their furniture is sold all over the world and known internationally.

他們的家具銷往世界各地並享譽國際

Let's go discover more.

我們來去看看吧

Hello!

廠長好

Hello!

你好

Can you take me on a tour around the factory here today?

可以帶我參觀一下這裡嗎

It's my honor.

很榮幸

As Mr. Wang was telling me earlier,

王廠長剛才跟我介紹

there are four different parts of this factory.

工廠共分成四個區塊

We start from that corner back there and move to this corner here,

製作過程 從最後面那個角落開始一路到這裡

where you assemble and take care of all the details.

這裡負責組裝和細部調整

So right now he is gonna show me how it is all done.

他將會向我示範它是如何製作的

This technique is called the mortise and tenon technique,

這個技巧叫做榫卯

which you assemble the pieces of wood,

把不同形狀的木頭組合在一起

for example here you have one knob out and one hole inside,

結合成家具的一部分

for example here you have one knob out and one hole inside,

完全沒有用到釘子

so they can actually just stick right in and assemble.

一切都是由木頭組合而成

So you see here there are no nails used,

事實上這種方法需要精細的計算

Everything is piecing together.

才能精準地將兩塊木頭

This actually requires careful calculation

牢牢固定在一起

because you need the holes to be exact so that when they fit,

盒子關起來後

it's not going to fall apart easily.

上面的蓋子打也打不開

When you close it,

但當我轉到一個角度

you actually cannot take the lid off no matter what,

就能立刻掀起 非常聰明的設計

but when you turn it at an angle,

王廠長告訴我 這裡木頭的味道

the lid comes off. It's a really smart design.

有讓人變年輕的魔法

Mr. Wang is telling that the smell of wood here

這裡有不同種類的盒子

actually makes you younger.

可以自行決定要如何設計

There are a variety of boxes here,

像剛才我們看到的木盒子的蓋子 同時是鎖

you can customize it however you like,

也可以在盒子內部設計圖騰

like we saw earlier how the lid is a lock also.

像我手上這個就有銀色的圖案

And you can have different patterns inside the box,

組合家具

for example here this one has unique silver designs.

有多種不同的方法

These are some different ways that they use

這個是彎處的設計

to assemble the pieces of furniture together.

不同部位拼湊在一起

This is more for curves

能快速分開 也能快速重新組裝

so you see the pieces assembled together,

這一根木頭支撐組合了所有部分

you can take them off, and then put them back.

剛才我們在工廠看到組裝中的椅子

Here, this one holds them all together.

這裡有完成品

What we saw earlier assembling at the factory,

這個空間裡的所有家具

this is the finished product for that.

都是可賣品

Actually all the furniture you see right here in this exhibition hall

大家都能來這裡挑選

is for sale,

或是訂製客製化的家具

so you can also come here to buy it

從以前到現在一個家具的發展

or you can get it custom made.

那一開始可以看到這是明朝的

This is how furniture changed from the past to present.

這一區展示臺灣家具的演變

From the beginning, is the Ming Dynasty.

從一開始明朝家具的簡單設計

So here we see the evolution of furniture in Taiwan,

到日治時期 戰後時期

we start from the Ming Dynasty when furniture was simpler back then

慢慢到了現今的家具

and then the Japanese colonization, post war,

能從這個時間軸

and now we slowly get to modern time.

認識臺灣的家具史

It's really interesting to see

非常新奇

how furniture in a typical Taiwanese household

這是我們魯班學堂的堂長黃老師的作品

would look like and evolve.

這裡的椅子都是得獎作品

This work was made by the leader of Ruban Craft Academy, Mr. Huang.

剛才看到的第一張椅子 是由竹籐製成

These chairs here are all award-winning chairs.

最特別的地方在於 它整個彎成半圓形

The first chair we saw earlier, it is made from vines.

或著說像英文字母的「U」形

What's special about it is that it is bent like a half circle,

一般來說 竹子無法彎曲

like a U-shape of the alphabet.

所以這個製作過程

Usually bamboos don't bend like that

必須解決許多物理上的限制

so it takes a lot of creative thinking

這張椅子也是由竹子做成

to defy physics and its original structure.

最特別的是 它彎曲的椅背

This one right here is also made from bamboo.

像是一排樓梯

What's special about it is the arc here,

而且這裡 非常有彈性

it's kind of like a staircase.

現在來到了木工課程的教室

Also here, this is very flexible.

這是臺灣第一個

This is the classroom used to teach woodwork.

教導榫卯工法的課程

This is the first class in Taiwan

完全沒有釘子 只有不同形狀的木頭組裝

where the technique of mortise and tenon is taught,

一堂課

so there are no nails in this class, just shapes and assembling.

從基礎到進階共18週

What's special about this course is that

很可惜我沒有那麼多時間能參與

it's an 18-week course so it's very intensive.

還好樓下

Unfortunately I don't have enough time for this course,

有DIY木工體驗教室

but thankfully there is another option for me,

我們去看看吧

the DIY fun classroom downstairs.

博物館除了展覽

Let's head to that.

還設立了一個DIY區

Besides the exhibition here at the museum,

讓大家體驗木工的樂趣

there is also a DIY area

今天我的任務是要完成一雙筷子

where you can make your own things out of wood.

右手下壓

Today I am going to make chopsticks.

同時左手要往前推

So my right hand is pushing down

有點像在削鉛筆

while my left hand is pushing forward.

完成一支筷子了

It's kind of just like sharpening a pencil.

但需要兩支才能湊到一雙

I think I just finished one chopstick.

現在我要繼續製作我的第二支筷子啦

But it takes two to be a pair,

來到這座家具博物館

now I need to work on my second chopstick.

我感受到這間

After touring through the museum,

六十年歷史的家具工廠

you can really see how they

有著認真踏實

used the 60 years of experience

並傳承創新的企業文化

that they have to build what is now

了解這些家具的故事真的很有趣

and to plan on an innovative future.

從中也能看出他們為顧客的努力 只追求完美

It was very interesting to learn about all about the furniture

他們的創意 創新

and learn that they only pursue the best for their customers.

努力及專業

Through their creativity, innovations,

各個都印證了仁德為什麼會稱作是企業之鄉

hardworking ethics and professionalism,

來趟仁德

you can really tell that Rende is the town for enterprises.

體驗在地的企業文化精神

Come here when you have time

說不定就能解開他們成功的秘密喔

and immerse yourself in this business atmosphere.

And maybe you will find the secret to their success.
