“HK+FR: Furniture for World Design”

HKF&DA invited four distinguished homegrown design masters to contribute their expertise to the presentation: Mr Joey Ho; Mr Tommy Li; Mr Walter Ma; and Mr Victor Wong. Each designer is a leader in interior design, brand design, fashion design, and cross-media design, all exemplifying the dedication and professionalism of the local industry, uplifting Hong Kong as a vibrant hub of creativity and innovation, and inspiring the next generation of designers.

Esteemed award-winners of Maison&Objet's Rising Talent Awards in 2023 and 2024 were also presented in collaboration with the group of design masters. The awards are prestigious recognitions given to outstanding talents in the design and interior decoration fields, with selections carried out by a jury composed of industry experts. Participating designers include:

• Sébastien CluzelandMorgane Pluchon, representing their studio CLUZEL / PLUCHON, focused on recreating everyday objects by questioning their use, their perception of space, and their mode of production. Their presentation ISOLA sofa was inspired by the beautiful landscape of Italian islands.
• Nelson Fossey, representing his studio Index Office,presented products that blend functionality, durability, and timeless appeal. Specially created for this exhibition, Fossey worked with the Hong Kong-based furniture company Profilia to design a lighting fixture and coffee table made from solid wood.
• Jenna Kaës, whose work explores mysticism in contemporary contexts, delves into the unconscious while addressing themes of love, fear, and the memorialisation of death. In her work A Cold Wave Song &Mental Coil, two bamboo silk carpets were inspired by compositional works using torn paper collages.
• Line and Pierron, the Paris-based design duo from the studio Line & Raphaël, specialize in furniture that harmoniously blends traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. By integrating solid walnut wood with gold-toned 3D-printed inlays, the designers achieved a unique blend of textures and materials.
• Felix Rasehorn and Robin Hoske are representing industrial design and research lab WINT Design Lab, dedicated to helping brands create innovative products that seamlessly integrate into everyday life. Their work O-Pendant light family is a versatile and elegant ambient lighting system inspired by experimental paper shapes and the interplay of light and shadow through reflections and folds.

HKF&DA will tour the exhibition to other regions. Further details will be announced in due course.
