2nd MOTIFX – Embracing the Beauty of Chinese Culture Culture to Nature – A Surreal Garden of Botanical Patterns
Organised by the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI) under the Vocational Training Council (VTC) and sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA), MOTIFX invites emerging designers to reinterpret traditional Chinese motifs for contemporary contexts, seamlessly integrating historical patterns into modern objects, interiors, and lifestyle products while deepening new generations’ engagement with their cultural heritage.
The 2nd MOTIFX – Embracing the Beauty of Chinese Culture invites designers to explore the mystical side of Chinese characters, with a particular focus on Radical Grass (艹 / 艸) and its evocative connection to a surreal world of nature. While respectfully acknowledging the cultural and philosophical differences between Eastern and Western traditions, the project embraces nature’s whimsy and dreamlike beauty with open delight
This inspiration gives birth to the central theme: Culture to Nature – A Surreal Garden of Botanical Patterns. Curated by Michael LEUNG, the exhibition brings together numerous design students and local designers who are in studies across diverse disciplines to rediscover the vibrant potential of Chinese characters. In doing so, it redefines the relationship between cultural heritage and the natural world, resulting in an imaginative collection of patterns and design works that vividly capture the theme.
A key highlight is the immersive installation Surreal Garden, created by designers Moon.noon and Stickyline. Inspired by “Radical Grass” motifs designed by these young creatives, the duo transforms two-dimensional patterns into a multi-sensory experience. Visitors move seamlessly from the physical space into a digital dreamscape, journeying through the four seasons guided by the 24 traditional solar terms — from the blossoming of spring to the retreat of winter — tracing the boundless rhythms of nature.
This surreal journey continues throughout the exhibition, which showcases over 100 original patterns created by local design students, each derived from the 艹 radical. Like countless flowers blooming in a shared field, these works express diverse creative voices, yet all are rooted in the same ancient, ever-living origin — the enduring 艹 .
DesignInspire 2025 was transformed into this fantastical garden woven from Chinese characters and nature’s boundless poetry — and let your imagination take flight.
Curator: Michael LEUNG
Born in Hong Kong, Michael LEUNG earned his Master’s degree from Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands, where he later founded Studio AA (previously MIRO). His practice spans graphic, product, and spatial design, often exploring the intersections of craftsmanship and industry, local culture, and sustainability. Recipient of the Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award and Perspective 40 Under 40, his work has been showcased at Milan Design Week, Dutch Design Week, and other major international exhibitions. In recent years, he has collaborated with institutions such as the Vitra Design Museum (Germany) and the V&A (UK), extending his creative vision into exhibition curation.
Participating Artist: Moon.noon
Moon.noon (KONG Fan-leung) is a real-time visual artist who masterfully blends data-driven storytelling with immersive audio-visual and sensory experiences. A former user-experience designer, he now transforms complex sources — climate data, urban landscapes, audience interaction — into powerfully evocative visual languages. His works have appeared at M+, Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, West Kowloon Freespace Jazz Festival, and in collaborations with Coca-Cola, LG, and Samsung.
Participating Artist: STICKYLINE
Founded in 2011 by Hong Kong creative artists Mic LEONG and Soilworm LAI, STICKYLINE is celebrated for its large-scale polyhedral sculptures that reveal the beauty of creative engineering, mathematics, and geometry. Working primarily with paper and metal, and integrating kinetics, sound, and light, the duo produces minimalist, durable, and strikingly futuristic installations, site-specific works, and private commissions that have earned widespread acclaim in the design world over the years.
Moroso × HKDI Furniture Collaboration Project
The exhibition showcases a creative collaboration between renowned Italian luxury furniture brand Moroso and design students from the HKDI’s Department of Architecture, Interior and Product Design (AIP). Together, they present the forward-looking project with MOTIFX patterns printed on the fabrics to “Designing Clothes for Furniture Objects.”
This initiative reimagines furniture as living bodies to be dressed, where textiles and soft elements become expressive garments. Moving beyond surface aesthetics, students explore adaptability, sensory depth, and emotional resonance, while engaging with ideas of circularity, modularity, and service-oriented design. The design challenge invites them to create interchangeable and upgradeable “furniture garments” that respond to personal habits, environments, and even special occasions.

Luxury Hair Clinic Sheer Reprime Marks 8th Anniversary with a Flagship Expansion into Hong Kong’s Prestigious Wellington Street
Luxury hair and scalp rejuvenation pioneer Sheer Reprime invests nearly HK$10 million to deploy next-generation, FDA and CE-certified hair restoration and scalp rejuvenation technologies.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 June 2026 – Celebrating eight years of clinical excellence, premier hair and scalp rejuvenation brand Sheer Reprime today announced the grand opening of its ultra-luxury flagship center on Wellington Street, Central. Representing a strategic investment of nearly HKD10 million, the expansive facility positions Sheer Reprime at the epicenter of Hong Kong’s elite financial and cultural district. This expansion marks a new era of medical-grade, advanced hair restoration and scalp rejuvenation.
Located at 50 Wellington Street, adjacent to the iconic Yung Kee restaurant, the near-full-floor flagship features private treatment suites engineered for maximum comfort and discretion. The venue is optimized for busy and successful individuals, stars and celebrities seeking world-class clinical trichology with exceptional hospitality.
Bridging Follicle Biology and Biophotonics
Sheer Reprime’s expansion directly addresses a surging global market demand for scientifically backed hair-loss solutions, particularly as stress and lifestyle factors accelerate the onset of premature thinning among younger demographics.
“Our expansion into the heart of Central marks a watershed moment for Sheer Reprime,” said a Brand Spokesperson. “The modern consumer demands rigorous, evidence-based hair and scalp treatments. Sheer Reprime is built at the intersection of Follicle Biology and Biophotonics. Our multi-million-dollar investment into an advanced clinical instrumentation allows us to optimize the scalp microenvironment at a cellular level, far surpassing the limitations of older generation treatments.”
Internal clinical metrics validate the brand’s scientific approach. In a recent study tracking 100 urban professionals over a 12-week regimen of Sheer Reprime’s laser hair rejuvenation therapy, participants demonstrated an average increase of 22% in hair shaft thickness and an 18% increase in active follicular density.
Departing from standard industry practices focused merely on surface-level scalp cleansing, Sheer Reprime introduces its proprietary Connotation Therapy. This multi-modality framework combines technologies which have received FDA, Medical CE, and EU MDR (Medical Device Regulation) certifications. Amongst them SLD LLLT hair loss treatment, which delivers biophotonic laser energy 3–5mm beneath the scalp surface to revive the follicular base. Winback Tecar Therapy and 500kHZ cellular radio frequency, which utilizes deep thermal energy to enhance localized microcirculation across the head, neck, and shoulders, maximizing nutrient and oxygen delivery to the hair bulb while flushing out metabolic waste and DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
The launch of Sheer Reprime’s Wellington Street flagship redefines the luxury trichology landscape in Hong Kong, merging clinically proven regenerative technologies with an unparalleled bespoke experience.
