【Brand New Youth - Design Workshop】'This is not a stool’ making workshop
The classic round folding stool has never been a single function and is full of plasticity. It is a tribute to it when we take it as an inspiration root to start developing something else .
In the event, through sharing some basic woodworking skills and methods by instructor Ng Ka Chun from Mudwork, participants would be able to transform the folding stool into a ‘small musical instrument’ with personal characteristics, making it not only for sitting but also producing music and fun.
Remarks: All works made by participants will be owned by Design Spectrum and Design Spectrum will select two or three pieces of works for display during the exhibition period.

He also responds to social issues concerning fast-paced development in the city and preservation with interventional installations.
