Michael Lau shares with @designtrust in an in-dept

Michael Lau shares with @designtrust in an in-depth conversation with Marisa Yiu, about his upbringing, his artistry, how he was able, through funding platforms in his youth, transform his love for toys and creations into a life-long career, highlighting the importance of supporting Hong Kong’s young creative community and the synergies of DESIGN TRUST’s granting platform.

Known since the 90s as the “Godfather of Toy Figures”, Michael pioneered the trend of collectable vinyl toys inspired by street culture and now continues to explore new mediums and techniques. Michael has kindly donated “1+1=3 (1969)” from his “Package-Change” series to the auction. Connecting characters from both the old and new era, Michael pays homage to classic cartoons from 1900 to 2000.

Michael’s piece, along with thirteen other works donated by our community, will be auctioned off at the Phillips Auction as part of Phillips’ Hong Kong 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale, staged TOMORROW, 9 July 2020, 1:30pm at the JW Marriot Hotel, Hong Kong.

As we continue to inspire, transform and grow with our community during such challenging times @designtrust is pleased and humbled to have designers, artists, collectors and creatives generously donate to support. All proceeds will go towards supporting Design Trust’s core mission and granting programmes to foster the design community in Hong Kong and the region, addressing the immediate impact of Covid-19 and ongoing efforts in the #DTFS programme on community micro-parks development. This upcoming auction, partnering with Phillips Hong Kong, is a unique section featuring fourteen works created by members of our community involved in our foundation for years.
