Stickyline is a prominent Hong Kong-based creative duo comprising Mic Leong and Soilworm Lai whose distinctive, large-scale sculptures of the polyhedra mask the creative engineering, mathematics and geometric structural complexity of its genesis. By using paper and metal, the duo creates minimalist aesthetics, durability, simplicity in shapes, combined with technologies in kinetic, sound and light to enhance the experience in their works.

In 2013-14, Stickyline was invited by Hong Kong Ambassadors of Design (AoD) and Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) to participate in the International Design Festival Berlin 2013 and exhibited in Milan Design Week 2014 under Stickyline. Collaborations with brands include Henrik Vibskov, Ralph Lauren, Mercedes-Benz, Puma, Paul and Shark, Lomography and Givenchy.

Leong and Lai’s project On/Off was awarded Design Trust Seed Grant in 2016. Their installation was later launched at Sea World Culture and Arts Centre, Shenzhen in 2017 and received a DFA Design for Asia Award 2018 – Silver Award.
