Classic designs never go out of style. This is what Ron LEUNG, the Creative Director of L.I.M. Design Work, strives for. "I prefer simple designs that are not confined to current trends, bringing betterment to the lives of people," he said.

Laputa, the sofa designed by Ron, incorporates controllable ambient lighting and a built-in Bluetooth audio system, allowing busy city dwellers to enjoy quality “me time” by simply adjusting the ambient light and playing music, so as to relieve physical and mental stress. These are not about very advanced new technology, but collaboration, "For a traditional furniture manufacturer to do things beyond what it is used to, the manufacturer has to be very open. Fortunately, I met one and we solved technical problems together."
 

Collaborate to Unleash Design Potential
Ron believes that partnership and collaboration is a major trend in the design industry. Designers share ideas with manufacturers and communicate closely to eventually develop new products. "The Hong Kong economy is not very large in scale, but there are many talents in various fields. If we work together, the effect will be not just additive but multiplicative or even exponential," he explained.
