Sylvia Lai obtained a bachelor’s degree from Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands and completed a master’s degree at the Piet Zwart Institute – Willem De Kooning Academy, Rotterdam University. During her time in the Netherlands, she gained four years of experience as an interior designer. In 2013, Sylvia returned to Hong Kong and joined Alan Chan Design Company as an interior designer for approximately six years. Later on, she collaborated with Wing Fung to establish a conceptual vintage shop called “Jiksap.” Jiksap serves as a platform that focuses on exploring sustainability and highlighting the local history and culture. Throughout her six years of managing Jiksap, Sylvia dedicated herself to infusing new interpretations into these old items.
Sylvia curates collections and organizes exhibitions with different themes, aiming to rediscover new meanings in old objects. Through thematic displays, she reveals the stories behind each item, showcasing their historical significance and their connections to the local community and heritage. She hopes to inspire others from a design perspective to understand and appreciate the aesthetics of different eras and the values carried by historical culture, encouraging the concept of sustainable reuse.
