Forthcoming exhibition at the Arts Pavilion, Hong Kong
Hong Kong Design Annex
The Hong Kong Design Annex exhibition, conceptualized by Lim + Lu, and organized by Designworks Foundation, aims to celebrate and showcase design visionaries of Hong Kong in the realm of furniture, lighting and product design. The exhibition provides a platform for these talented individuals to display their innovative works, highlighting their unique perspectives and creative prowess.
To create an immersive and captivating experience for visitors, Lim + Lu envisions a pavilion made from fresh bamboo. This pavilion will feature both above and below reflective surfaces, resulting in a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow. As visitors walk through the exhibition, they will immerse themselves in an enchanting “infinity bamboo forest.” The meandering path will lead visitors on a journey of discovery, unveiling the beautiful and thought-provoking design pieces hidden within.
The choice of bamboo as a primary material pays homage to Hong Kong’s signature bamboo scaffoldings. It reflects the exhibition’s commitment to sustainability, as bamboo is a renewable resource with a myriad of applications.
The Hong Kong Design Annex exhibition not only serves as a platform to promote Hong Kong designers but also provides visitors with a unique opportunity to engage with the vibrant design culture of Hong Kong. By combining the beauty of nature, innovative design, and a captivating environment, this exhibition seeks to inspire and captivate both design enthusiasts and the general public alike.

For What it's Worth at Novalis Art Design, Hong Kong, 1 December 2023-20 January 2024
For What It’s Worth
Each day, we tend to accept the established values assigned to objects, whether dictated by market forces or cultural associations. In this exhibition, Julie & Jesse will present their latest works, which stem from their extensive creative and research exploration of mining resources from the urban environment. By fusing the city’s discarded and overlooked materials with ceramics, they bring the unseen into view and elevate the unwanted to the forefront. Each find is an opportunity to unpack stories across time and space, hidden within the material. This process of generating new value for the devalued subverts, redefines and expands our current perception of the worth of materials.
