Embrace

Combined with heritage conservation, technology, changing lifestyles, and the use of design for sustainable development, the rebound of Hong Kong is fascinating. Embrace is inclusive and focuses on the reset, revamp, and reimagination of the interrelations of design to an object, society, technology and culture with impact. It leads designers to re-conceptualise their priorities: products, spaces, design, materials and culture with their actual needs and functions. This year’s EDT will showcase young designers’ creations and let us embrace the latest design trends.
