Recipient of the World’s Outstanding Chinese Designer award 2015, Chi Wing Lo’s works encompass the fields of architecture, sculpture, interior, furniture and object design. His prolific output has long been recognised, in and beyond the eminent circle of contemporary Italian design, for his evocativeness in thought, gracefulness in form and meticulousness in every detail.
Lo is also the founder of DIMENSIONE CHI WING LO Italia, a brand of furniture designed and made in Italy under his direction. His aspiration for timelessness has brought his designs to international attention and many of his earlier works continue to be much sought after today.
Infusing poetry with usefulness, Lo’s works are inspired by materials and techniques that have passed on to our generation. He wishes to unite wisdom and sensibility of past and present, creating works that are lasting, simple and essential.
Raised in Hong Kong, Lo received his Master Degree in Architecture from Harvard University with the best thesis prize in 1988. He had taught at the Syracuse University, NY, and was a member of the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart. He served as a visiting critic in different universities and a frequent speaker in cultural and design events. Lo has a multidisciplinary practice, integrating art, architecture, interior, furniture and object design for exclusive projects in Milan, Athens, London, Istanbul, Dubai, Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong.
