| Arthur Analts設計的蜂巢硬幣 Arthur Analts designs honeycomb coin in tribute to Latvia 由專筑網王帥，李韌編譯 拉脫維亞（Latvian）設計師Arthur Analts設計了一枚5歐元硬幣，蜂窩狀的外形非常漂亮，表達了拉脫維亞豐富的自然資源。 蜂蜜硬幣（The Honey Coin）模仿蜂巢的六角形結構，該結構用于蜜蜂儲存幼蟲、蜂蜜和花粉。 硬幣的邊緣為細胞狀波浪，其中一些細胞閃閃發亮，仿佛里面充滿了蜂蜜，而一部分細胞呈啞光狀。 Latvian designer Arthur Analts has created a €5 coin with a tessellating honeycomb shape, to highlight the abundant natural resources of his home country. The Honey Coin coin imitates the hexagonal cell structure of honeycomb, where bees store larvae, honey and pollen. It has six sides, with wavy edges created by the shapes of the cells. Some of these cells are shiny, as if filled with glistening liquid honey, while others are frosted. Analts贏得了由拉脫維亞銀行（Latvijas Banka）組織的年度設計競賽。紀念幣由立陶宛鑄幣廠（Lithuanian Mint）鑄造，現已由銀行作為收藏品發行。 Analts解釋，該項目的出發點來源于物理學家愛因斯坦（Albert Einstein）的一份聲明，該聲明聲稱，如果蜜蜂從地球上消失，人類將會在四年內滅絕。 Analts won an annual design competition organised by Latvijas Banka to create the coin. It was minted by the Lithuanian Mint and has now been issued by the bank as a collectors' item. According to Analts, the starting point for the project was a statement by physicist Albert Einstein, claiming that the human species would become extinct within four years if the bee disappeared off the face of the earth. 拉脫維亞的生態資源非常豐富，這位倫敦設計師決定將蜜蜂作為生態資源的象征。 Analts說：“我想設計一枚關于拉脫維亞的硬幣。我研究和思考了潛在的發展路線，據統計，拉脫維亞是世界上最環保的國家?！? 他繼續說：“我想展示生態，這對我們來說真的很重要，那么如何在硬幣中做到這一點呢？” The London-based designer decided to use the bee as a symbol of Latvia's impressive ecological credentials. "The idea was to create a coin about Latvia. I was researching and contemplating the potential development routes, and according to statistics, Latvia is one of the greenest countries in the world," said Analts. "I wanted to show ecology, and that it's really important to us," he continued. "The question was how to do it in a coin." 除了模仿蜂巢的結構外，這枚硬幣還融入了拉脫維亞和里加灣的地理特征。在硬幣的表面上，一些蜂巢細胞稍微扁平，形成了國家的抽象輪廓形態。 硬幣的左下角刻著LATVIJA和2018。 硬幣反面的五個蜂窩單元被壓平，象征硬幣的5歐元面額。數字5刻在中心偏左，下面刻有EURO（歐元）字樣。 As well as emulating the texture of honeycomb, the coin also references the geography of Latvia and the Gulf of Riga. On the face of the coin, some of the honeycomb cells are slightly flattened, creating an abstract outline of the country. LATVIJA is engraved onto the lower left part of the coin, while the year 2018 is inscribed below it. On the reverse side of the coin, five honeycomb cells are flattened to symbolise the €5 value of the coin. The number 5 is inscribed to the left of the centre, with the word EURO engraved below it. Analts說：“蜂巢上面的細胞結構很自然，雖然看起來棱角分明，十分工業化。但是，如果你仔細觀察，你就會發現它們半徑不同，深度不同，每一個都是獨一無二?！? 他繼續說：“雖然它們看起來非常相似，但都有自己獨有的東西，就像每一個拉脫維亞鄉村農場的不同特性?！? “蜂巢閃閃發光，就像一面鏡子，部分細胞呈啞光，這就是我們想要表達的內容，我們充分利用了材料、紋理、光澤和啞光特征?！? "These cells are also natural themselves. They may look angular and industrial, yet, if you look deeper, each of them is unique. Each has its own radius, each has its own depth, every one of them is unique," said Analts. "They seem to be very much alike but they all have something of their own," he continued, "in the same way as probably every Latvian country farm is unique in its own way." "Honey is a glistening substance, like a mirror, the cells are frosted, that is what we wanted the coin to show. We were playing with materiality, textures, lustre, frosting." Analts希望人們能夠利用形狀的本質。 他補充說：“假如你買了很多硬幣，你就能像拼圖一樣把它們拼湊在一起。每個小元素都是大元素的一部分。” 曾經使用歐元的歐洲國家有19個，包括拉脫維亞。 其他曾嘗試重新設計貨幣的設計師還有白俄羅斯設計師Andrey Avgust。他提議將美國鈔票旋轉90度。還有One Rise East設計事務所，設計了26枚硬幣套裝，代表現代英國的A到Z字母。 Analts hopes that people will take advantage of the tessellating nature of the shape. "A person buying several coins will be able to put them together like a puzzle. Each smallest element is a part of something bigger," he added. The euro is currently used in 19 European countries, including Latvia. Other designers that have had a go at redesigning currency include Belarusian designer Andrey Avgust, who proposed turning American banknotes 90 degrees, and design agency One Rise East, which created a set of 26 coins to represent an A to Z of modern-day Britain. |
