Deputy Director of Leisure & Cultural Services Choi Suk-kuen said the items featured in the exhibition are all representative works that reflected the individual styles and effort of designers in the four regions.

"Some of the works on display are influenced by tradition, some incorporate both Chinese and Western concepts, not to mention the bold, innovative works which, together with the other works, present an impressive spectacle," she said.

Book design an artistic undertaking 

"When one talks about book presentation today, it is not simply a concern about binding and layout, but the consideration of a unified work in which form and content complement each other. It is, in the simplest term, an artistic undertaking. Book designers play important roles in the production of a book."

Jointly presented by the Leisure & Cultural Services Department, Tsinghua University Department of Fine Art, and Shantou University Cheung Kong School of Design, the exhibition is the first programme of the museum's "Design Infinity" series.

Poster, fashion, product and interior design exhibitions will be run to enhance public understanding of the role of design in business activities here.
