Hong Kong design duo stand out from the crowd by making their art look easy and accessible
Uniquely playful 3D paper sculptures spark joy and keep people wanting more
Hong Kong art and design duo Stickyline have made a name for themselves in the city’s competitive arts scene through their inventive, playful 3D paper sculptures that have been exhibited in diverse settings, from high-end fashion boutiques to contemporary dance performances and even local gigs.
Since then, the former classmates have been flooded with requests to create more of their striking, inventive artworks for display in public spaces and galleries.
“So many different friends came to us for collaborations, starting from window displays. It slowly grew and grew out of that,” Lai recalls. “People just kept coming and asking for more.”
A vibrant art is flowering on Hong Kong’s grey streets
The endless stream of new commissions has seen Stickyline grow from a fun side project into a full-fledged art and design success story, taking up more and more time from Lai and Leong’s day jobs as designers of packaging and toys, respectively.
