Kamaro’an is a collaboration between the young designers and the Gangkou tribe located along the Hualien coast. In the Amis language, the meaning of Kamoro’an is to stay and to live. This series of design generated as the outflowed youth started going back to home, feel at ease and live with their sensibility.
The concept of Kamoro’an is to establish a local brand that both the tribal craftsmen and the community can engage in. Based on the local shared craft of driftwood and umbrella sedge, the designers translated the crafts into inspiring designs: a collection of home décor accessories - lightings, side table and desktop objects.
In addition to the collaboration with the craftspeople, the design team tries to match Taiwan’s manufacturing industry to the development of the local business. The introduction of the manufacturing industry can help the tribe to maintain the value chain of the brand, and extend the capability of Taiwan’s manufacturing industry to the cultural creative industry. In the end, the design products are able to be controlled under the costs by complementing with the mass production metal components. This supply capability also makes the tribal products capable to approach broader distributions and audience.
