Hong Kong Paper Futures

Studio Florian and Christine x Studio Alison Chan

PMQ - Dec 2019

05.12.2019–10.01.2020

Location: Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre & PMQ pop-up unit S505

Paper craft holds a cultural significance to Hong Kong, as many celebrations and ceremonies involve paper lanterns and the burning of paper offerings.

Using waste paper and collaborating with traditional paper lantern makers in Hong Kong, the designers incorporate craftsmanship into this modern installation. Paper comes in different qualities, textures and colors. A range of techniques are employed: weaving, layering and interlocking (mimicking the traditional techniques of bamboo scaffolding. This work demonstrates the beauty and simplicity of the Hong Kong heritage craft.
