From one to ten—far more than a mere sequence of numbers, this is a constellation of unfolding creative journeys.
This bilingual volume brings together ten outstanding alumni of the PolyU School of Design—Tino Kwan, Eric Chan, Freeman Lau, Dennis Chan, Tommy Li, Anthony Lo, Alan Yip, Chu Chen On, Barrie Ho and James O—each portrayed through in-depth interviews that map their distinctive positions in the world of design.
From early explorations to the forging of signature styles, from sparks of inspiration to boundary-crossing practices, each designer weaves a narrative of vision, persistence, and imagination. Their stories are not only about making, but about seeing, questioning, and engaging with the world.
This is a book of design perspectives, reflections, and possibilities. It celebrates the legacy of PolyU Design in nurturing creative excellence, while inspiring a new generation to explore boldly and innovate fearlessly.
Design begins at one, grows to ten, and expands toward the infinite.
