“Ground Yourself: The Pocket Object Workshop” is a process of self-discovery and environmental exploration. Participants will seek out intriguing or curious elements in their everyday lives.
During this exploration, participants will re-examine various everyday objects—breaking away from preconceived notions to explore the materials and their sounds from a fresh perspective, rediscovering the textures found in everyday life.
The activity will guide participants to look inward, identifying the specific sounds and tactile sensations that bring them comfort and healing. Using these sensory elements as inspiration, they will handcraft their own personalised, portable “Pocket Object”.
When feeling anxious in an information-overloaded daily life, simply reaching into a pocket allows one to reconnect and ground oneself through these familiar touchpoints and sounds.
ROVE Design Studio is a social innovation practice dedicated to transforming passive observation into active community participation. We believe that design is most powerful when it connects people to their environments. Through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing exhibition design, art installations, and workshops, we spark new imaginations within the urban fabric; integrating architectural and product sensibilities, we transform public spaces into hubs for dialogue and shared imagination.
Co-founders Brian Lee Long Yin and Eva Leung Ka Wai bring a shared vision of “design as a bridge”. With a specialised background in Product Design from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, they infuse their projects with a unique blend of structural precision and social empathy. ROVE’s work is recognised for its ability to foster public dialogue, making them a preferred partner for initiatives that require deep community integration and creative problem-solving.
