F IVE ELEMENTS

Evolving over millennia, the Chinese philosophy of the Five Elements of water, fire, wood, metal and earth was developed as a means to understand the interactions between various phenomena. In a more enlightened world, its concept of interconnectedness, and of cause and effect, is still a guide to the restoration of balance and harmony. Designed by Freeman Lau, the collection is enhanced with talismanic representations of the elements. Founder partner of one of Hong Kong’s most acclaimed graphic design consultancies, and a frequent speaker at international design events, Freeman is a recipient of the HKSAR government’s Bronze Bauhinia Star, in recognition of his contributions to Hong Kong design.
