DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade Collectors Showcase

21. 12. 2020

The "DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade" Collectors Showcase featured 18 original prototypes available as one-of-a-kind or limited edition collector’s items. These thoughtful handmade creations respond to the COVID-19 challenges – from established and world renowned designers to emerging design talents alike – combine impeccable craftsmanship, ingenuity and creativity to deliver an inspiring collectible. The silent auction preview was held November 25 - December 3, 2020 at THE SHOPHOUSE, a 1940s heritage building in Tai Hang. 

On view at THE SHOPHOUSE included the following works generously donated by the designers and collaborators. Also on view were signed edition works entitled “COVID-19 SCULPTURE SERIES” by Kacey Wong, DTFS 2018 Advisor, amongst other Future Showcase works by the DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade community. On the occasion of Stanley Wong’s 60th birthday, 6 of his original photographs taken during the first lockdown are also presented in a signed and numbered edition of 10 prints collection.

To shop the limited editioned works and other "DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade" collection, please visit the DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade e-PopUp. All proceeds will go towards supporting Design Trust’s ongoing research and grant programmes to foster and nurture emerging designers in Hong Kong and the region.
