Circular Furniture at China Hong Kong City | 2024

Sino Group’s “GoCircular” platform engages our colleagues, partners and the community in fostering a Circular Economy and encourage our stakeholders to “reduce, reuse and recycle”. To further uphold its goals of addressing waste issues and giving waste a second life, it has joined hands with like-minded partners to create sustainable materials and deploy upcycled furniture.

Today, Sino Group’s “GoCircular” debuts its latest project, “Circular Furniture”, at the 1/F Departure Hall of Ferry Terminal located at the Group’s shopping mall, China Hong Kong City. This offers a comprehensive showcase of the platform’s ongoing advocacy and becomes a new photogenic spot for citizens and tourists.

Led by Sino Group and EDITECTURE’s design team, the “Circular Furniture” brings a unique artistic flair to the 70sqm public space at the 1/F Departure Hall, China Hong Kong City. The floor graphic highlights China Hong Kong City’s reputation as a prime transportation hub with blue and green hues that mimic the vast seas and wave-like silhouettes shaped like Hong Kong Island, The Kowloon Peninsula, New Territories and Lantau Island, creating a map of our beautiful city.

The modular and eco-friendly design of the “Circular Furniture” collection is made from 145kg of upcycled plastic, equivalent to 10,132 plastic bottles. Located within the all-new public leisure and exhibition space, the furniture pieces can be rearranged to fit different occasion. In line with the platform’s green ethos, the chairs, display units and panels, for instance, can be seamlessly combined and reorganised to suit various needs.

The exhibition, divided into three zones, showcases six local social and circular design brands, emphasizing creativity and sustainability. BOUNDLESS offers inclusive and stylish wardrobes for diverse demographics, while Project Futurus presents “Sensory Restaurant on Wheels,” an immersive dim sum experience designed for elders with dementia and disabilities.

EDITECTURE features sustainable mahjong sets crafted from wasted fabrics, while Beyond Vision International brings tactile-audio systems to enrich the lives of the visually impaired. KIBO highlights sneakers made from repurposed materials like apple and leather trimmings, and INVISIBLE COMPANY introduces water-soluble packaging. These exhibits inspire the community to embrace upcycling and greener lifestyles for a sustainable future.
