Eight love seats we ... love by Hong Kong and China artists
For the Hong Kong Shenzhen Design Biennale, 20 artists from both sides of the border were invited to design love seats, and interpreted the challenge liberally. The results have just gone on show at K11 in Tsim Sha Tsui
Love. That single emotion has inspired creativity in every possible form. Even in chairs. As part of the second edition of the Hong Kong Shenzhen Design Biennale, which began on Friday, the works of 20 designers (10 from Hong Kong, 10 from across the border) have gone on display, and feature some surprising interpretations of love. We have a soft spot for these eight.
Annabella by Danny Cheng
New dad Danny Cheng named his piece after his daughter, Annabella. “You know what love means when you have a child,” he says. Cheng’s design, which is consistent with his minimalist style, is of a low, 2.5-metre-long black bench. “The entire family can sit on it, all huddling together,” he says. “That’s how I imagine love.”
