From Czech traditional leather technique to Bohemian crystal glass, the exhibition celebrates the fusion of heritage and modernity, safeguarding near-extinct crafts while inspiring future generations through cross-cultural creativity.
Kumiko is a traditional Japanese woodworking technique. In this craft, pieces of wood are intricately joined together using precise angles and pressure, creating classic patterns such as Asanoha, Goma, Shippo, and Rindo. Every shaving and polish is a tribute to detail, and a quiet dialogue between the artisan and nature.
The curatorial team of ‘Everyday Plus’ is led by Ire Tsui, founder of Talking Hands, together with Chi-wing Lee, creative director of Milk Design. The exhibition showcases everyday objects from the designers’ perspectives, exploring the close connection between design and daily life for the public.
This is our first time presenting aesthetic lifestyle brands, including local incense brand Heung Yau and smart product design brand Get The Pong. Hong Kong fashion brands Aepel, Blind by JW, and Classics Anew are joining us to showcase their unique clothing and accessories.
The exhibition brings together creative units from 6 designers, artists, and community innovators, inviting the public to re-observe familiar everyday objects and explore their "added value" and creative potential within the city and community, uncovering various creative aspects and the hidden delights within the ordinary.
