In response to the theme of “Twin Town Interaction” for the 2nd Shenzhen-Hong Kong Design Biennial Exhibition, at the invitation of Mr. Freeman Lau, 1983ASIA has designed this set of Cloth Cover patterns which was tailored for his work Pony Chair.This design inspiration came from the key project of “Twin Town Taste the Not-Yet” in this Biennial Exhibition. And 1983ASIA hoped to bring the traditional Chinese culture into our daily life via modern design aesthetics, thus presents the core concept of Twin Town Taste the Not-Yet. After having researched the materials and data, 1983ASIA found that both Hong Kong and Shenzhen originated from the Chinese cultural system, and shared a lot of spiritual beliefs in common.“Twin Town Taste the Not-Yet”, and Not-Yet is the Future in other word. While standing from the present and reviewing the past, we found that Shenzhen was also called the “Roc City” in history and Hong Kong took the “Dragon” as its symbol, from which we unearthed and extracted the Grand Roc and Flying Dragon – the Symbols of Twin Town Spirit and Hope, and we link together the Twin Cities’ City Flowers – Azalea as the Shenzhen City Flower and Bauhinia as the Hong Kong City Flower, transformed them into the square and continuous pattern in the manner of cross combination, and made the two-in-one design of “Yin & Yang Chair”. We hoped we could let Grand Roc and Flying Dragon freely and heartedly hover in the glorious sky of each other, and there would be no distinction between you and me, and let us work together to break new and bright-colored ground.Integrating the past into the present, and the dream into the reality. Roc City and Dragon Port, here lies the start points of everything and the futures of everything.

响应第二届深港设计双年展 " 互动双城 " 的主题，1983ASIA应刘小康先生的邀请，为他的作品小马椅子设计了一组布套图案。此次的设计灵感来源于本届双年展的重点项目「双城品未」，1983ASIA希望用现代的设计审美，将华人的传统文化带到生活中，从而表现双城品未的核心理念。香港与深圳都源自中华文化体系，两地很多的精神信仰是相通的。「双城品未」，未即未来。而立足现在，回顾往昔，历史上的深圳别称鹏城，香港文化又以龙为象征，我们从中挖掘提炼出双城精神与希望的象征物 —— 大鹏与翔龙，并将两地市花联系起来 —— 深圳市花簕杜鹃和香港区花洋紫荆，以交叉组合的方式重新演绎成可四方连续的图案，设计成两张为一的 " 阴阳椅 "。希望让翔龙与大鹏翱翔在彼此美好的天空中，无分你我，共同开创色彩斑斓的新天地。将过去融入现在，将梦想汇进现实。鹏城龙港，这里是一切的开始，也是一切的未来。
