The one thing all these names have in common is that the design they produce consistently raises the bar in the industry, and we’re anticipating this ambitious, unrelenting creative energy will be transposed to their presence at the inaugural Hong Kong Indesign: The Event.

Bolon – Bolon by Missoni

The exhibitors:

– Bolon began as a weaving mill, and under the masterful direction of ‘the Bolon sisters’ (Annika and Marie Eklund), the name of Bolon became synonymous with world-leading creative innovation. Bolon’s collaborators include Missoni, Armani, and Google, as well as leading names in design such as Tom Dixon and Jean Nouvel. They’ll be launching Bolon by Missoni at the event.

– BW have been known for nearly a decade as the Asian market leaders for design-driven imported furniture for commercial and hospitality interiors. Their brands include Okamura, Vitra, Viccarbe, Woodmark, Hay and Jardan, to mention just a few.

– colourliving are trendsetters. Visit them for highly individual, high-end kitchens, bathrooms and lifestyle enhancements. Their 20,000 square feet lifestyle store is the first of its kind in Asia, and they’ll be launching a number of exciting new products at Hong Kong Indesign: The Event.

DEDON

– DEDON are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of outdoor furniture, represented in over 80 countries. Although the key to their success is probably the trademark highly durably fibre they use, they don’t sit still – they’re always collaborating with high profile international designers, and are definitely one to keep an eye on come event day.

– Gray Hawk is an absolute must-see. From a small town in South Australia, Gray Hawk has been designing and making bespoke furniture for over 40 years. He sees his vocation as a spiritual quest, and this comes through in his almost transcendentally beautiful objects, rich with history, tradition and experience. His furniture is characterised by earthy textures, given unearthly elegance through elaborate carven shapes or mesmerising simplicity. He probably says it best: “Optimum functionality infused with beauty by impeccable artisans… to complement your experience of the material world.”

Haworth – Infinity

– Haworth is an award-winning global leader in the design and manufacture of office furniture and organic workspaces, serving markets in over 120 countries. For the event, see Haworth team up with prominent designers and innovative Haworth xFriends Partners to showcase inspiring, meaningful work environments. They’ll also be showcasing a new fabric range – a collaboration between Haworth and Woven Image.

– Kokuyo was established in Japan in 1905. They began as a supplier of account ledgers, but this entry gave them many years of unique insights into the world of office operation, and from information management they moved to the production and sale of office furniture, store fixtures and furniture for public spaces. Together with their customers, they create ‘spatial values’.

– Lamex strives to be the preferred office solutions provider in Asia, seeking to understand the needs of Asian customers through market trends. Their comprehensive product portfolio includes seating, desking, systems and storage.
