CHI WING LO -

 

Founder of DIMENONE CHI WING LO, a brand of furniture designed and made in Italy under his close direction, Lo has been actively pursuing design in Italy for almost two decades.

His tower house in Athens was nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Prize in Architecture in 2009.

At Foshan, Guangzhou, in 2010, he organized and chaired an international design conference on a theme addressing the need of original design in China. Most recently, he also contributes to Kanjian Creation, a leading platform with a cultural initiative in promoting contemporary designs inspired by Chinese traditional crafts.

Since 2012, Lo has also presented his sculptures in solo exhibitions: Chi Wing Lo - The Light and Soul of an Object, Chi Wing Lo - Journey of Imagination, Chi Wing Lo - Vision of a Civilization, in Italy and the South East Asia Raised in Hong Kong, Lo received his Master Degree in Architecture from Harvard University with the best thesis prize in 1988.
