View Article | Visit Website

Hong Kong designers bring a feast of world class design to London.

In a capital city famous for its long and all-embracing relationship with design, this celebration of the work of leading Hong Kong designers took place in three well-known venues – Harvey Nichols, a British department store in Knightsbridge (now owned by a Hong Kong enterprise), the Design Museum, and the London Business School.

The campaign entitled Creative Hong Kong in London, was launched at Harvey Nichols with a collaborative exhibition of ten world renowned brands and ten accomplished Hong Kong designers who drew inspiration for their designs from the 10th anniversary (1 July 2007) of Hong Kong’s reunification with China. Products designed included a Chinese dining setting, a hi-fi system, fashion accessories, a watch, and a unique ‘treasure box’. Designer/brand collaborations included Gary Chang and Alessi (Treasure Box for Urban Nomads), Vivienne Tam and Georg Jensen (8S), Barney Cheng and LeSportsac (Brilliant Beauty), Lo Chi Wing and KEF(Stringless Pleasure), Michael Young and o.d.m (Euclide), and Alan Chan and Salvatore Ferragamo (Hong Kong My Love). Limited edition products were also on sale.

Matthew Dent, a 26-year-old graphic designer, has achieved so early in his career what other designers only hope to do in their lifetime: to make a lasting impact on not only the design world, but to people’s lives in general. Matthew’s design will soon be in the hands of millions of people, used every day, and has the potential to stay in circulation for a very long time. This achievement comes from submitting the winning design in an open competition to design the new reverses on the coins of the United Kingdom. Out of over 4,000 entries, The Royal Mint Advisory Committee selected Matthew’s concept and design because of his respect for the British traditions of heraldry combined with a contemporary, fresh approach to the project.
