Design Spectrum: always at PMQ


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

From a spark of awareness to a series of action, behaviour is gradually formed and becoming a custom.

Our response to environmental issues often begins with a blink of idea. To recycle and reuse is like a centre origin point, connecting different actions under the radius of similar concept, forming a continual round. This seemingly endless circular momentum, if we look at it from a slightly tilted angle, we see a dynamic movement going forward, picking up strength from each looping and extend into an ever going path. Through this dynamic line, design connects people, objects and communities. From here, we can trace the origin to find out where design ideas come from, how it is closely related to our living and environment, affecting different aspects of daily life. Keep going, always by design.

A total of 21 posters spanning from 1970s to 2010s from 12 renowned Hong Kong designers – including Arthur Hacker, Henry Steiner, Alan Chan, among others – were exhibited at Central Market to convey their unique insights on social issues. For the second phase of the exhibition at PMQ, 8 young designers have joined the show with their own posters, through which visitors can feel how the ideas of the past are passed down from generation to generation.

A series of concurrent events such as guided tours, workshops and designer sharing sessions will also be organized around the exhibition for the public.
