ALUCOBOND® have engaged Charlie Huang, lead designer of K11 with the task to design our exhibition space. Different from the conventional exhibition style, we adopted a form of art gallery to showcase the various applications of ALUCOBOND®. Every article you see in our exhibition hall is made of ALUCOBOND®. Paintings that pay tribute to art masters Mark Rothko and Piet Mondrian decorated the hall, together with The Plus +6 Light by Charlie and The Edge 01 floor lamp by Austrian artist Martin Mostbock which was used in Guardians of the Galaxy, a film adaptation of the Marvel comics. Utilizing the ALUCOBOND® naturAL Reflect, Charlie has also reinterpreted Picasso’s Acrobat on a Ball in the form of a sculpture. The exhibition space that combined diverse art design elements with the quality of ALUCOBOND® material has been well received by visitors.
