C Future Lab was opened in July 2020 in C Future City, Shenzhen, China. It is an entirely new concept of a gallery where it allows visitor to explore the future development of Shenzhen and it provides a new platform for designers, thinkers, artists to discuss how urban design will reshape our ways of living in the future. 

As an experiential laboratory, it integrates Technology, Art and Nature through a series of innovative installations composed of digital art, 3D printing sculpture and green vegetation to create multi-dimensional experiences of senses to visitors. Through sight, hearing, touch and smell, visitors can experience the distinct design elements that shape the C Future City.

C Future Lab combines the work of a group of the most innovative designers from all corners of the world, including digital artists teamLab from Japan, landscape consultant Patrick Blanc from France, industrial designer Ross Lovegrove from the UK, and China’s exhibition specialist, Motse to create an inspiring journey for visitors to rethink the way they live. 

As a platform to inspire innovative insights and to encourage discussion, the functions of art gallery, co-working space, garden, discussion forum and social gathering area are combined to adapt to the evolving functional needs of society. Different zonings are created with unique stories and they work as sequential spaces of anticipation, inspiration, exploration, information and discussion.

​C Future Lab presents an opportunity for a unique experiential project designed to showcase Shenzhen’s C Future City – with the aim of creating a laboratory for new ideas to be tested, shared and discussed to define the path for the future construction of the ultimate city.

​Founded in 2017, QUAD Studio has designed a variety of projects with footprints across continents. Offices located in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, the client base and project experience have been significantly developing as well as our reputation and the size of the team. Besides architecture and urban design, QUAD has allocated abundant resources to work on interiors, landscape and branding designs. Especially for interiors, the team interacts closely with architecture team and creates interconnected projects that satisfy and amaze clients. This year, it is proud for us to announce that QUAD has established QUAD Interiors and Sean Leung has become a new partner and will continue to lead the interiors team.

The fundamental philosophy of QUAD studio flows into the realm of Interior Design with a team focusing in place making and creating the right dogma befitting for the context wherever that may be. No two spaces are the same. No matter how you experience the space, whether by volume or by tactile objects, the way these elements come together changes your behaviour and the way you interact with the space.
​
Unlike Architecture, Interiors invades your personal space. Hence our designers have to be sensitive to manipulate this space so that it compliments the mood of that individual. QUAD believes that a person enters a space for a particular reason, whether it is to work, relax, distraction, or just plain self-enjoyment. As well as to understand the functions of each space, we need also understand that individual so that we can make a bespoke space for that individual.

​Sean Leung, who joined QUAD in 2019 as Design Director of Interiors, officially becomes our new partner of QUAD Interiors. Sean will oversee all the interiors projects and lead the interior team to further their success.  Pursued to achieve unique designs and innovative presentation, Sean is dedicated to strengthen the team to deliver excellent designs and services to clients. Being observative and caring, Sean is a friendly leader who strongly believes in team efforts. He recognizes hard work and encourages transparent communication among teams in QUAD to work as One QUAD which is one of the core ideas that QUAD values the most – creative polymath.
 
In prior to joining QUAD, Sean was an Associate Director at Aedas Interiors with over 18 years of interior design experience. His comprehensive experience has cultivated his ability to design diversified projects for different sectors and to efficiently manage the team even under great pressure and tight deadlines. With a portfolio of designing hospitality, high-end restaurants and residential at Aedas, Sean has completed remarkable projects as in C Future Lab, Suining Q Hotel and One Point One One at QUAD over the year.
 
With Sean’s professional ability and charismatic personalities, QUAD believes that he will be capable of marketing the industry and leading QUAD Interiors to achieve the goals by creating more outstanding projects around the globe.

Hence, we have the “MASK BOX” ……. The rationale behind the “MASK BOX” is quite simple. From time to time, and for whatever reason people need to take off their face mask during the day. This contraption allows the mask to be suspended away from any surface when not in use.
​

The following is a quick exercise on how to make the “MASK BOX” :

On the 21st November, Sean Leung of QUAD studio attended LEGENDS: WARHOL/BASUAIT at Sotheby’s Hong Kong. The event is a selling exhibition that showcases the compelling works By Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Marking the two legendary masters’ first joint exhibition in China.
​

There are few artists who become true legends, and fewer legends who forge legendary friendships. Immortalized in art history is the epochal pairing between two of the late twentieth century's greatest and most influential artists, Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Lasting for six years from 1982 until Warhol's death in 1987, the deep, complex and symbiotic friendship was mutually inspiring for the two artists, whose highly distinctive oeuvres have each become eternally emblazoned within the highest echelons of fine art. In honour of these two extraordinary and intertwined lives, ​

Sotheby's is privileged to present LEGENDS: WARHOL/BASQUIAT, a selling exhibition featuring compelling works by the two artists in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Juxtaposing Warhol's polished pop aesthetic against Basquiat's singular raw expressionism, the specially curated selection powerfully captures the dynamic magic of 1980s New York.
