Hong Kong, an international metropolis, where East meets West. Local and imported, innovation and inheritance
Are constantly gestating on both sides of Victoria Harbour ...
The Hong Kong Federation of Design and Creative Industries (FHDCI), as an important fulcrum in the Greater Bay Area, will provide a stronger voice and influence for the creative industry to complement the national development strategies of “One Belt, One Road” and “Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Greater Bay Area”.
In recent years, Hong Kong’s creative industries have been developing and growing rapidly, with a constant flow of design talent, showing amazing creativity in actively embracing the global market. Particularly in the wake of the epidemic, Hong Kong design has brought more inspiration to design of various places.
So how will we reconnect with life and the world in the wake of the epidemic?
The importance of design is reflected in the theme of the Hong Kong Pavilion at Hebei International Industrial Design Week 2021, covering areas such as life, food, mobility, wearables connecting design and lifestyle, health, mobility and malleability. By highlighting the impact of technology and empathy through design, visitors will be able to explore the designs and elements in the exhibits that can help people adapt to the “new normal”.

The Brand: Shenzhen Landiao Audio Technology Co., Ltd.
The DBA Resonator loudspeaker is designed with an all-metal enclosure, using a full-range speaker and down-firing woofer. In addition to the metal enclosure. The “Resonant Disc” is a revolutionary patented design; this allows the inherent tone to be heard more clearly through the vibrations of the signal source from the top full-range driver. As a result, the ‘sustain’ or ‘decay’ of the sound waves is prolonged, which is particularly relevant when testing high frequency samples such as Tibetan chants or tambourines. In short, it is an unprecedented function in a loudspeaker design. It is also a high-end active speaker designed for the home, studio or lounge.

The container is one of the most iconic elements that carry the unique stamp of a harbour city. The living room, where interaction with pets is most frequent, is chosen as the design scene, and the special surface texture and shape of the container is extended to the sofa side table to create a living space where people, pets and nature interact harmoniously. Three kinds of independent units "containers" with different designs can be freely combined according to different needs of life scenes. The concept of sharing furniture by people brings fun and temperature to urban life.
