We are devoted to the art of storytelling through creative drawings, weaving poetic narratives that celebrate our design concepts. Our passion lies in crafting exquisite concept artworks, be it framed prints or canvas masterpieces, each a testament to our dedication to visual storytelling.
These artworks are not mere decorations but integral parts of the spaces we design, commissioned by our clients to imbue a sense of depth and personal connection for the end users. They elevate the experience within the spaces, adding layers of meaning and emotion to the environmen
Celebrating Design Concepts Through Artworks
Our artistic process is a fusion of diverse methodologies, from intricate hand drawings to advanced 3D computer modelling and AI technology. This eclectic approach results in a collection of limited digital prints that embody the essence of our design concepts.
Among our unique offerings are the ‘shadow artworks’ - delicate 3D paper cutouts meticulously crafted to create captivating layers of shadows, revealing the architectural elements of our designs. By accentuating the core elements, we aim to provide viewers with a clearer understanding of the main concept behind our designs.
Our commitment to artistic excellence has been recognised through exhibitions such as the Le French May in Hong Kong. Encouraged by the enthusiastic response, we now welcome commissions for these bespoke artworks as part of our comprehensive architectural interior design projects.
In showcasing our collaborative approach, we delve into two distinct case studies that highlight the integration of our artworks within the spatial narrative.
Case Study: The Work Project - A Narrative of History and Connection
As part of our design for The Work Project in Causeway Bay, we were tasked with creating a series of handmade 3D paper cutout framed drawings and digital canvas paintings that encapsulated the historical significance of the site as a typhoon shelter for fishermen’s boats. These artworks, displayed throughout the co-working space, serve as a visual ode to the sculptural canopy structures that unite people within the space.
Case Study: Landmark South Showroom - A Symphony of Nature and Design
For Landmark South showroom in Wong Chuk Hang, we were commissioned to produce a set of three framed digital drawings that adorn the showroom inspired by the mountains of the south side of Hong Kong. These artworks intricately depict our design concept, drawing inspiration from Japanese garden houses and featuring our signature Bean Tables inspired by sculptural rocks in a Zen garden.
Through our artistic endeavours, we seek to transform spaces into immersive narratives, where every stroke and shadow enables a deeper connection between the viewer and the design concept.
