Beyond the Loom brings together some of Elaine Yan Ling Ng’s signature pieces, and launches Reverie, her new textile collection featuring innovative weaves in paper, metal, and lurex, bamboo and porcelain.
At the heart of this groundbreaking immersive exhibition lies the artistry of traditional weaving. Each work of art and design is a natural extension of ancient skills, introducing new materials and techniques.

New materials and advanced techniques are revealed in Reverie in Motion, a sinuous 45-metre-long ribbon installation of 3,000 handcrafted porcelain beads, bamboo, and copper, handcrafted together with Hong Kong ceramic artists Julie & Jesse. 

Reverie in Motion is a modular sculptural installation that reinterprets the essence of textile without using traditional fabric. Drawing inspiration from Elaine Yan Ling Ng’s Reverie collection, this new work transforms the poetic qualities of textile—flexibility, layering, movement—into a material language composed of hand-crafted porcelain, copper, and bamboo.
The work is celebrated by a collaboration with Julie and Jesse, with unique handmade porcelain beads, a familiar material that Elaine has not applied in her work before.

Each module is meticulously formed with handmade porcelain elements, then interwoven with fine copper wire and hand-split bamboo strips. The result is a delicate yet structurally expressive piece that echoes the gestures of weaving while standing outside the conventions of cloth. It is both rigid and fluid, tactile and architectural—blurring the boundaries between textile, sculpture, and installation.

By translating a textile logic into non-textile materials, Reverie in Motion invites viewers to consider how the essence of weaving can be captured beyond fiber—through rhythm, repetition, and the interplay of light and form. The materials themselves carry meaning: porcelain offers fragility and permanence, copper provides reflectivity and memory, and bamboo brings warmth and tradition. Together, they form a quiet choreography of materials in motion.
This piece expands the Reverie universe into new territories, maintaining its conceptual DNA while inviting fresh interpretations across disciplines—from art to design to spatial storytelling.

Colours of Hope is an art exhibition organised by Children of the Mekong Hong Kong that thrives on bridging two points of view: the unique vision of artists and the distinctive perspectives of unprivileged children supported by the charity.

Three years of pandemics, unexpected geopolitical instability, growing social inequalities, threats from climate change… These are all factors that force us to rethink the way we live and understand the world.
Artists can guide us in this reflection. Many go through the same process, constantly reinventing their creative expressions and techniques to share their emotions and convictions.

Colours of Hope is an invitation to embrace optimism and hope through the work of talented and committed artists.

In a way, artists help us, through colours, to change our vision of the world around us, to heighten our sensitivity. Bringing colours into our lives, connecting to multiply encounters, listening and positively influencing more and more, for a better world, such is the wish of our partnership with magnificent artists to be discovered during the art exhibition Colours of Hope.

Colours of Hope is about the importance of surrounding ourselves with colours that inspire, uplift and increase the chances of happiness and well-being. It explores the idea of finding the colours of hope that allows individuals to feel encouraged, energized, positive and hopeful.

Colours of Hope resonates with Children of the Mekong’s mission to support disadvantaged children. In short, bringing hope to thousands of children… All the proceeds from the sale of the artworks will be donated to Children of the Mekong to fund its activities on behalf of disadvantaged children in Southeast Asia.

Re:Materialize highlights the proactive design philosophy of “Material-Driven Design.” By re-evaluating materials and exploring innovative applications, it inspires designers to delve into the intrinsic nature and untapped potential of materials, fostering sustainable and imaginative design practices.

The exhibition brings together cross-disciplinary artists, designers, art academies, craftsmanship researchers, and material manufacturers to conduct material-based creations and experiments centered around three themes outlined in Róng Design Library’s 2025/26 Material Trend Report: “Present Optimism,” “Nostalgic Shelter,” and “Harmonic Connection.”

This is more than just an exploration of material aesthetics; it is a collective inquiry into how design can address pressing social and ecological challenges of our time. Against the backdrop of converging environmental crises, ecological imbalances, and economic upheaval, we are prompted to reflect: What kind of design can restore a sense of security for humanity? How should the relationship between humans and the planet be reenvisioned? And what does the role of designers entail in this process?

On the occasion of Re:Materialize we presented our collaborative piece with textile artist and designer Elaine Yan Ling Ng, Reverie in Motion. The piece transforms the tactile quality of Elaine’s Reverie Jacquard paper fabric series into a modular kinetic installation that blends bamboo, copper and porcelain.
