About this event

UP CLOSE WITH BETTY NG

Join us as we host Up Close with Betty Ng, founder of Collective Studio, an international architecture firm known for its powerful narratives that insist on clarity, beauty and function. Collective Studio’s idea-driven approach focuses not only on architecture but also engages in scenography, exhibition design, and experiential art.

Moderated by Ikko Yokoyama, Lead Curator, Design and Architecture of M+ museum for visual culture.

THE UPPER HOUSE CHRISTMAS TREE

We are thrilled to reveal this year’s Christmas tree – Doodle Tree, designed by Collective Studio, in collaboration with Streetsign HK and local neon sign craftsman Mr. Wu Chi Kai.

With a focus on heritage sustainability, the design is inspired by Hong Kong’s iconic illuminating street signs and honours the fading tradition by bringing modernity to create a new form of 3D neon tree.

In the spirit of giving, we will be auctioning off our one-of-a-kind Christmas tree, with all proceeds benefiting ImpactHK, a local charity dedicated to helping the homeless. Stay tuned.
