Features: Hong Kong is a region that places great emphasis on service exports. The government established the Hong Kong Design Centre in 2002, launched the Design+ Program in 2004, and allocated HKD 250 million in the financial budget to promote Hong Kong's design over the next five years. Hong Kong designers have been influenced by Western culture while retaining the essence of traditional Chinese culture. They absorb the nutrients and essence of the world, embodying multicultural characteristics, which is related to Hong Kong's social structure. Looking at the works of Hong Kong designers, one can see many different cultural elements. Hong Kong has many talented designers, and the nine designers featured in this book are just a small part of them. Of course, they are definitely representatives of Hong Kong's design industry, and their names are well-respected in the field. Some of them also enjoy considerable international recognition. Lin Wei, featured in this book, graduated from the Architecture Department of Cornell University in the United States and was the former president of the Hong Kong Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. His works are relatively human-centric, drawing inspiration from Eastern elements and integrating art into interior design. He explores the relationship between people and space (architecture, interior, furniture) from an architect's perspective, and his office space design is particularly noteworthy. From this book, readers can understand how art is integrated into interior design.
