From now till 13 June, HKDI Gallery and Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) proudly co-organised the exhibition “Unseen – The Making of Traditional Chinese Furniture”. It highlights the value of traditional Chinese craftmanship embedded in contemporary designs.
Dina and Oliver, co-founder of 「DOSHA woodcraft」, decided to give abandoned wood a second life by turning them into tailor-made woodwork and furntire.
An exhibition co-hosted by Harbour City and CarbonCare InnoLab, 6 local artists and environmental groups join together showcasing their masterpieces made from recycled wood.
According to the 2018 "Hong Kong Solid Waste Monitoring Report", an average of 452 tonnes of wood or rattan materials are disposed of in Hong Kong every day. How should we "reduce the weight" of landfills? With the slogan "Don't waste, upcycle", some young people use locally recycled waste wood, add solar energy movement and bamboon surface, and design a wooden watch that is environmentally friendly, practical and beautiful.
Sawdust was flying, and the small window in the room was opened, and the sunlight fell on the half-finished wooden platform. The wooden table in front of me is made of discarded wooden pallets. The table has not been polished, and the legs are of different lengths, that makes it rickety. Although it is flawed, it is full of human touch. The tailor-made wooden platform for the corner store not only upcycled the waste, but also used woodworking to connect the community and influence more people to change their original living habits.
