Stitch by stitch, weaving Hong Kong’s spirit; touch by touch, feeling the city’s warmth.

Hong Kong Design Centre proudly presents the new exhibition ‘Urban Yarns’ today. This exhibition is not just a visual delight but an immersive, tactile experience of design and knitting artistry—inviting visitors to touch and feel the intricacy and creativity of textiles! ✨

With warmth and intention, ‘Urban Yarns’ reinterprets this legacy for the modern era, using design as a bridge to thread past and present. Documenting the city’s shifting identity through pioneering textile works and interactive installations, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the fundamentals of knit design and even become co-creators as they engage with the textures, techniques, and stories woven into Hong Kong’s cultural fabric.

At the opening ceremony, Ms. Rainy Chan, Executive Director of Hong Kong Design Centre, and Mr. Oscar Wong, JP, District Officer of Sham Shui Po, delivered speeches.
