HONG KONG TREES

Hong Kong Trees is an exhibition space and studio embracing historic and new design in all forms, through functional objects, installations, research projects and experiences.

Intersections of multi-sensory material histories, the natural world and new experiments by artist-designers-creators are shared in our living space in Pittsburgh and elsewhere. CURRENT AFFAIRS

Hong Kong Trees is housed within a 1930s single-story structure, originally ‘Modern Pattern Company’ a small manufacturer of wood and metal patterns for machinery castings. We embedded our own comprehensive redesign within the original building.

Hong Kong Trees is named after a book of that title published in 1969 and detailing perennial specimens of a particular region. It includes 103 trees in alphabetical order with full color photographs. The front cover pictures a Camellia hongkongensis, one of over 200 distinct species.
