"Distance"---Chi Wing Lo's Sculptures & Implements Exhibition kicked off at Suzhou Eslite Bookstore, SIP on Jan 19 and will be free to the public till Mar 3. On display are over 100 sculptures and implements by Chi Wing Lo, a Hong Kong-born architect, recipient of the DFA World's Outstanding Chinese Designer Award 2015 and founder of Dimensione Chi Wing Lo, a brand of furniture designed and made in Italy.

Chi Wing Lo is globally known for his great attainments in architecture, sculpture, interior and furniture design. The exhibits manifest his pursuits in design, fine craftsmanship and innovative use of materials. Each of them boasts perfect incorporation of oriental cultural elements. For example, there are a series of writing tools that are designed based on traditional Chinese writing brush, ink stick, ink slab and paper. Even the exhibition hall is decorated following the architect's ideas to highlight a simple and well-arranged style.

The architect showed up on the opening day, sharing his design concepts with the visitors. It is reportedly his second visit to the bookstore, following a design lecture he gave here in 2017.
