The Hong Kong furniture studio “TOUN 亠” focuses on “variability and continuity”, transforming the frequent moving experiences of Hong Kong people into inspiration for furniture design. This workshop requires no woodworking background or design foundation; participants will assemble a mirror by hand within an hour.
The team views furniture as an integral part of the home, striving to break the limitations of singular functionality, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into any new residence and avoid the fate of being discarded. In the workshop, participants will not only be able to assemble a unique mirror but also freely adjust its form and function in the future by adding or removing panels. This hands-on experience allows everyone to appreciate the flexibility of modular design and the potential for spatial transformation, making this piece a lasting companion that carries daily life and emotions.
TOUN 亠 is an art furniture studio rooted in the philosophy “plant a piece, grow a home”. Each design begins as a seed—nurtured with care and warmth, it grows to shape the living spirit of hearth and home.
Renee Neoh, an art furniture designer and sculptor whose creative path began with photography and abstract set design. She is a graduate of Central Saint Martins, London and has developed a distinct hallmark that merges sculpture and furniture into a single language. Working with the tactile qualities of materials and intuitive hand experimentation, she transforms functional objects into pieces that move beyond conventional frameworks while retaining strong aesthetic presence. For Renee, art should not be distant or confined to institutions—it should be part of everyday life: tangible, approachable, and woven into the spaces we inhabit. Her creations explore how functionality and sculptural presence can coexist, reimagining beauty from a fleeting sight into a companion through daily living.
Samuel Choi, a Hong Kong-based art furniture designer and sculptor. His early practice spanned art props and multimedia visual production before evolving into furniture and sculpture. His work explores structure and form, seeking moments of tension and harmony through material experimentation. By reimagining the relationship between objects and space, Samuel creates designs that transcend utility, intertwining functionality with sculptural expression. Each piece invites users to sense art not as remote or untouchable, but as part of lived experience—expanding the possibilities of how furniture can embody both purpose and poetry.
