Description:

Showing great support to the Macau Y Show since its launch in 2016, it has been the third consecutive year for the Design Council of Hong Kong (DCHK) to partner with the Macanese organiser Chiu Yeng Culture Limited to promote youth design power and good works. Rather similar in nature to our「DesignXcel」exhibition, yet with less emphasis on the collaborative spirit, the Macau Y Show is an annual event to award design excellence of design graduates of the year in several major disciplines around the world.

This year, DCHK has nominated 5 emerging young design talents from various Hong Kong design schools to participate in the Macau Y Show, all of their designs were showcased and exposed to the public at the Regency Art Hotel in Macau during 11-14 October. While most of the nominees’ works are graphics, we are most delighted to learn that one of the young designers from Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI), Edwin Chan, whose product design of a glowing mobile busking stage has stood out and won the Sponsorship Award from L’Arc Hotel Macau.

Edwin’s mobile busking stage ‘Moz-Age’ is a transportable amplifier and speaker device equipped with lighting effects to enhance the performance quality of the buskers. When retracted, the device is small enough to carry by a single person, as the inclusion of handles and wheels further aid the transportation of the device to the desired performance location. The device is packed with various lighting effects, such as spotlights and ambient lights to mimic the effects of stage performance. Overall the product enhances the performance quality of street performers, liberating them from the limitations of the venue.

自2016年首辦以來，香港設計委員會連續第三年與澳門的主辦單位超盈文化有限公司聯成一線，推廣年青設計力量及優秀作品。澳門「Y設計展」是肯定世界各地設計畢業生卓越設計的年度頒獎盛事暨作品展，性質與《設計列陣》展覽類同，唯獨其著眼點並非側重協作精神。

今年，香港設計委員會共提名了5位來自香港各設計學院的新晉年輕設計人才參加澳門「Y設計展」，他們各人的設計均於10月11日至14日期間假澳門荔景灣藝術酒店展出予公眾參觀。大多數獲提名的作品都是平面設計，但我們非常高興獲悉香港知專設計學院的年輕設計師之一－－陳俊彥的便攜式光效移動舞台產品設計脫穎而出，並贏得了「澳門凱旋門贊助獎項」。

陳同學的便攜式光效移動舞台產品「Moz-Age」是一款便攜式擴音器和揚聲器，設備配有照明效果，以提高街頭藝人的表演質量。當壓縮裝置時，裝置的體積會縮小至適合一個人攜帶外出的程度，與此同時，透過加入把手和輪子，將裝置運送到表演地點的流暢和方便程度也會大大提高。該設備具有各種照明效果，如聚光燈和環境光等，以模擬舞台表演的效果。總體而言，該產品提高了街頭藝人的表演質量，使他們可以擺脫場地的限制。
