As Hong Kong rises as a burgeoning art and design hub, in step with China’s drive for ‘new quality productive forces’, the city is set to host the eagerly anticipated debut of the Maison&Objet Design Factory at DesignInspire 2024.
Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, DesignInspire is an annual showcase that promotes Hong Kong’s dynamic culture and creativity.
From December 5 to 7, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre will become a vibrant showcase for cutting-edge design, where Maison&Objet - globally renowned for its prestigious trade shows from France - will present a curated, 1,000-square-metre exploration of ‘conscious design’.
Exclusively curated by Maison&Objet, the Design Factory transcends the typical exhibition, offering an immersive journey into the core of conscious design. With a focus on cutting-edge design research, circularity, sustainable materials and end-of-life solutions, the event will shed light on key concepts that encourage more responsible interaction with our environment.
Through this lens, Maison&Objet seeks to challenge the perception of design as mere aesthetics, asking instead how creativity can contribute to a more thoughtful and intentional world.
Alongside major design events such as Business of Design Week (BODW) and DesignInspire, the Design Factory is part of the larger ‘BODW in the City’ festival, which aims to propel Hong Kong onto the world stage as a centre for design innovation.
