黃耀霖
Multimedia designer, spatial designer and photographer. I delve into different realms of creativity, seeking ways to perceive the world through the creative process. This collaboration with Edited and MADE was organic. We each started from our respective areas of expertise, constantly oscillating between conceptualization and form, colliding ideas, and ultimately infusing shared spiritual values into the final product. This creative collaboration allowed me to revisit the origins of my creativity and reinterpret the purpose of design.
多媒體設計師、空間設計師、攝影師,涉獵不同範疇的創意領域,渴望在創作過程中找尋認知世界的方式。此次與 Edited 和 MADE 合作創作的過程是有機的。大家從各自的知識範疇出發,不斷在構思和造形之間來回,進行意念碰撞,最終在完成品中注入共同的精神價值。此次的創意合作,讓我重拾創作時的原點,重新理解設計時應有的意旨。

胡卓斌
As a designer and editor, I have always worked as a brand consultant for different local brands, dedicated to integrating culture into daily life and business and discovering the value of local culture. I have always seen books as a form that carries ideas. The creation of this exhibition follows a similar process; it is also a process of transforming ideas into material form and crafting furniture prototypes with symbolic imagery. During the creative process, I suddenly realized that I had been carrying an unbearable weight for the past few years. Thankfully, this exhibition has allowed me to lighten this indescribable heaviness and turn it into furniture that accompanies us every day.
設計師、編輯,也一直為各類本地品牌擔任品牌顧問,致力將文化融入日常生活和商業,發掘本地文化的價值。我一直將書籍視為一種盛載著意念的形式。這次展覽的創作過程也很相近,也是將意念形塑成物質的過程,創作出擁有意象的家具原型作品。在創作的過程中,我忽爾覺察到自己幾年以來,累積了難以承受的沉重。幸得這次展覽,讓我得以將無以名之的沉重變得輕盈,轉化成每日陪伴大家生活的家具。
MADE
Local handcrafted wood furniture brand. MADE is committed to passing on the culture of handcrafted woodworking, promoting the beauty of wooden furniture, and pursuing a Made to Order crafting process that is more community-centered and has less environmental impact. This collaboration with Renatus and Dio allowed us to engage in a dialogue between woodworking and ideas, fulfilling one of our wishes since the establishment of MADE. Over the past few years, we have not been in the best spirits and often felt powerless. This collaboration has reignited our joy in creation, made us more determined in our pursuits, and encouraged us to continue creating furniture that enhances our lives and serves as spiritual support.
本地木藝家具品牌。志在傳承手工木藝文化,推動木家具美好,亦在追求一種更能凝聚社群、對環境影響更少的Made to Order製造過程。這次 MADE 和 Renatus 與 Dio 兩位設計師的合作,能以木工和意念對話,算是達成了我們成立 MADE 以來的其中一個心願。這幾年夥伴們的心情也不是太好,時常感到無力。這次合作令我們重拾創作的快樂,各自都對自己想做的事變得更加堅定,也鼓勵了我們繼續為大家帶來更多能支撐生活,又能成為精神支柱的家具作品。
