Match Chen, co-founder of KaCaMa Design Lab, and Zack Chung, founder of local outdoor sports product brand Sheung Shan, will discuss how outdoor sports and extreme sports culture are being gradually popularised in everyday life, affecting design behaviour in aspects such as fashion and homeware, and even marketing practice.

Zack Chung
Founder of outdoor sports equipment brand Sheung Shan
多年來，對山岳十分熱愛，從前因擔任戶外用品公司的美術總監， 對戶外品牌發展及研究各產品的特點都有透徹了解。為了把興趣融入工作之中，更創立戶外裝備品牌《尚山》，亦不定期舉辦了名為《秘密山遊Secret Hiking》的登山活動，目的是為了讓習慣跟隨既定路線的城市登山者，展示山的不同面貌和在山野中的自由！
一路走來，尚山都希望可以成為一個平台。在這個石屎森林裡，有一處有一個可以讓繁忙工作過後，仍然牽掛山野的朋友，互相分享故事的地方。
所以我們於九龍中心的深水埗開辦《尚山岩舘》，以森林的山屋為題材，讓大家可以成為最原始的自己，回歸自然。
登山攀岩不一定要很強壯，只要你願意，就可以參與。跟大自然接觸或跟其他登山朋友交談，你就會感受到這運動帶比你的快樂。而且當中有許多故事和美學，都會是啟發靈感的泉源。
然而，我們因為這些故事和美學創造一個品牌，忠誠地透過手的温度，心的細度，要把故事如實地反映，把它帶給更多的人。
這不只關乎業務，而是把生活實踐。
這就是尚山。
