deTour 2025 設計節以主題「想望之器」出發，從「設計三問」三個層次作為切入點，希望讓大家更能探問設計的可能性。

從三個層次欣賞 Neri Oxman 工作室的作品《Silk Pavilion》— 陽光穿透半透明的絲質穹頂，數千條蠶在精心設計的框架上吐絲作繭，在這座由生物與人類科技共同編織的微型建築中，每根蠶絲就像是協同創造的見證。

▸第一層 — 功能、美感與文化意涵：設計回應了什麼問題？
● 蠶群依照數位引導的桑葉分佈吐絲結繭，將生物本能轉化為建築結構，融合設計、工程、生物學、藝術與電腦科學，讓我們看見跨領域合作迸發的美學可能。

▸第二層 — 結構與社會：這項設計背後所追求的長遠願景是什麼？
● Oxman 開創了「生物共構」的模式，證明建築不必掠奪自然，而能與生態共創。蠶群的自發行為與數位框架相互調節，展現人與環境的共生可能。

▸第三層 — 情感、存在與願景：是什麼核心價值驅動創作這件作品？
● 人類總是試圖用控制與規律獲取安全感，尤其在設計中往往被視為必要。然而，這件作品嘗試展現另一種可能：當設計師願意適時放手，擁抱與自然共同創作帶來的有機性與不確定性，反而能產生意想不到的驚喜。那些未經精密計算的蠶絲紋理，正是設計的可貴之處。

你是否也準備好放手試驗新設計？本次公開徵集截止日期為7月27日（恕不延期），記住把握機會！

【deTour 2025 Open Call for Creative Proposal | “The Shape of Yearning” - The Weaving of Lives】

☞Check the information kit and submit your proposal now: https://pmq.hk/yJDFT
Submission Deadline：27 July (Sun), 2025 18:00 (HKT) | No deadline extensions❕

This year, deTour Design Festival attempts to explore design’s essence with the theme “The Shape of Yearning”, and through “Design Trichotomy”—a framework of three interpretive layers.

Take Neri Oxman’s “Silk Pavilion” as an example — sunlight filters through its semi-transparent silk dome, where thousands of silkworms spin cocoons on a digitally guided scaffold. Each thread stands as a testament to the co-creation between biology and human technology, forming a micro-architecture woven by cross-species interactions.

▸Layer 1 — Practical, Aesthetic, and Cultural Dimensions: What issue or need does this design respond to?
● Silkworms, guided by algorithmic patterns, transform instinct into architecture. Merging design, engineering, biology, art, and computer science, the piece can reveal the aesthetic potential of interdisciplinary collaboration.

▸Layer 2 — Structural and Social Framing: What long-term vision or aspiration underlies this design?
● Oxman pioneers “biological co-creation”, proving architecture need not exploit nature but can co-evolve with it. The silkworms’ spontaneous behaviour and the digital framework strike a balance, modelling human-environment symbiosis.

▸Layer 3 — Emotional, Existential, and Aspirational Impulses: What core values or convictions are reflected in this design?
● Humans crave control, especially in design, to impose order and security. Yet this work embraces organic uncertainty, showing how surrendering precision can yield unexpected beauty. The silkworms’ unscripted silk patterns become the design’s most profound gift.

Be ready to experiment with your designs, and submit your proposal before 27 July (no extensions will be granted).

deTour 2025 設計節以主題「想望之器」出發，從以「設計三問」三個層次作為切入點，希望讓大家更能探問設計的可能性。

瓷碗在水面漂移相撞，奏出隨機卻和諧的聲響——當將這三個層次去閱讀法國藝術家 Céleste Boursier-Mougenot 創作的藝術裝置《clinamen》上，它表面是聲響與物件的共舞，深處或許是對「控制與偶然」的叩問。

▸第一層 — 功能、美感與文化意涵：設計回應了什麼問題？
● 當瓷碗成為樂器，水面化作舞台，這件作品模糊了雕塑、表演與音樂的界線。在 Boursier-Mougenot 的實踐中，聲音彷彿被賦予生命性，能隨環境自主演化，讓我們重新思考對藝術形式的認知。

▸第二層 — 結構與社會：這項設計背後所追求的長遠願景是什麼？
● Boursier-Mougenot 跳脫傳統音樂的創作框架，構建讓聲音作為自主現象存在，而非只是「被創作」出的樂章。觀眾的移動、水波的擾動，都成為作品的一部分，挑戰著「創作者主導」的傳統觀念。

▸第三層 — 情感、存在與願景：是什麼核心價值驅動創作這件作品？
● 在秩序與混亂、靜止與流動的張力間，觀眾被迫直面各種「無法預測」的詩意。這不是被動的觀賞，而是一場關於如何在變化中尋找自身定位的冥想。

透過三個層次檢視設計，將開拓創作的新視野。把握7月27日截止期限（恕不延期），讓你的作品登上今年 deTour 舞台！

Ceramic bowls drift and collide on the water’s surface, producing random yet harmonious sounds—this is “clinamen”, an art installation by French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot. While ostensibly a choreography of sound and objects, at its core, it questions “control and chance”.

This year, deTour Design Festival attempts to explore design’s essence with the theme “The Shape of Yearning”, and through “Design Trichotomy”—a framework of three interpretive layers.

▸Layer 1 — Practical, Aesthetic, and Cultural Dimensions: What issue or need does this design respond to?
● When ceramic bowls become instruments and the water surface transforms into a stage, this work blurs the boundaries between sculpture, performance, and music. In Boursier-Mougenot’s practice, sound is endowed with a certain vitality, capable of evolving autonomously within the environment, thereby redefining our understanding of artistic forms.

▸Layer 2 — Structural and Social Framing: What long-term vision or aspiration underlies this design?
● Boursier-Mougenot breaks away from the traditional frameworks of musical creation, constructing an environment that frees sound from the constraints of musical composition. Sound exists as an autonomous phenomenon, rather than a composed melody. The audience’s movement and the ripples of water become integral parts of the work, challenging the traditional concept of “creator dominance”.

▸Layer 3 — Emotional, Existential, and Aspirational Impulses: What core values or convictions are reflected in this design?
● Amid the tensions between order and chaos, stillness and motion, the audience is compelled to confront the poetic essence of “uncertainty”. This is not a passive observation, but a meditation on how to find one's footing within instability and changes.

By examining design through these three layers, you can expand your creative horizons. Don’t miss the 27 July deadline (no extensions will be granted) and let your work shine on this year’s deTour stage!

螺絲，這個看似簡單的金屬元件，以精確的螺紋與標準化規格，成為現代製造的無名基石。它不追求視覺張力，卻在每一次旋緊中實踐「形式服從功能」的終極信條。

今年，deTour 設計節策展人陳濬人 (Adonian Chan) 嘗試以「想望之器」為名，透過「設計三問」— 三個解讀設計的層面，探問設計的本質：

▸第一層 — 功能、美感與文化意涵：設計回應了什麼問題？
● 作為可重複使用的緊固件，螺絲以最小體積實現最大結構效益。省略裝飾的極簡形態，正是功能主義的純粹實踐。

▸第二層 — 結構與社會：這項設計背後所追求的長遠願景是什麼？
● 標準螺紋規格背後的深意，是創造可修復、可替換的產品系統。這套工業邏輯推動了永續設計，讓「耐用」與「效率」成為可能。

▸第三層 — 情感、存在與願景：是什麼核心價值驅動創作這件作品？
● 在快速變動的時代，旋緊螺絲的動作象徵人類最原始的渴望——為變動的世界尋找錨點，在混沌中建立可控的系統。

這顆直徑不過數毫米的元件，以其精確度與可替換性改變了現代製造系統。它用最沉默的方式宣告：真正的設計變革，往往誕生在最微小的受力點上。

7月27日前提交計劃書，讓你的「想望之器」成為今年設計節的關鍵元件！

How did this micro steel design rewrite modernity?

Screws, seemingly simple metal components with precise threads and standardised specifications, are the unsung heroes of modern manufacturing. Their minimalist appearance conceals an underlying complexity; every rotation represents ‘function over decoration’ in motion.

This year, the curator of deTour Design Festival, Adonian Chan, attempts to explore design’s essence with the theme “The Shape of Yearning”, and through “Design Trichotomy”—a framework of three interpretive layers.

▸Layer 1 — Practical, Aesthetic, and Cultural Dimensions: What issue or need does this design respond to?
● As a reusable tool for fastening materials, screws achieve maximum structural efficiency with minimal size. Their unadorned, minimalist form is a pure demonstration of functionalism.

▸Layer 2 — Structural and Social Framing: What long-term vision or aspiration underlies this design?
● The deeper value behind standardised thread specifications is the creation of a repairable and replaceable modular world. This industrial logic drives sustainable design, making “durability” and “efficiency” possible.

▸Layer 3 — Emotional, Existential, and Aspirational Impulses: What core values or convictions are reflected in this design?
● In a rapidly shifting world, the act of tightening screws symbolises humanity’s basic desire — to find anchor points in a floating world and hold things together.

At just a few millimetres in diameter, this unassuming component has rebuilt the order of modern manufacturing with its precision. It silently proclaims that profound design transformation often begins from the smallest points.

Submit your proposal before 27 July and let your design become one of the valuable “screws” of this year’s design festival!

時鐘的錶盤之上，是精準的刻度；錶盤之下，是設計的哲思。我們賦予時間形狀，卻在不知不覺中，被時間塑造了對生命的理解。

今年，deTour 設計節策展人陳濬人 (Adonian Chan) 嘗試以「想望之器」為名，透過「設計三問」— 三個解讀設計的層面，探問設計的本質：

▸第一層 — 功能、美感與文化意涵：作品回應了什麼問題？
● 從極簡數位設計到精緻機械工藝，時鐘以精準度重新定義時間的測量，將時間可視化

▸第二層 — 結構與社會：這項設計背後所追求的長遠願景是什麼？
● 時鐘體現生產力與控制的意識形態，透過規劃日常活動與集體行程來維持社會協調

▸第三層 — 情感、存在與願景：是什麼核心價值驅動創作這件作品？
● 蘊藏著人類試圖掌握時間流逝的渴望

當我們仔細觀察時鐘：表面的精準測量下，是對時間本質的探索；零件間的精密協作，實則是生產力與意識形態的具象化；而那循環不息的軌跡，正映照出人們的盼望與感慨。

從不同層面剖析你的設計，你將會發現功能、社會層面和個人情感如何交織成獨特的個人體現。7月27日或之前提交創意計劃書，將你的「想望之器」呈現在公眾眼前！

☞Check the information kit and submit your proposal now: https://pmq.hk/yJDFT
Submission Deadline：27 July (Sun), 2025 18:00 (HKT) | No deadline extensions❕

On the dial, there are precise markings; beneath the dial lies the philosophy of design. We shape time, yet unknowingly, time shapes our understanding of life.

This year, the curator of deTour Design Festival, Adonian Chan, attempts to explore design’s essence with the theme “The Shape of Yearning”, and through “Design Trichotomy”—a framework of three interpretive layers.

▸Layer 1 — Practical, Aesthetic, and Cultural Dimensions: What issue or need does this design respond to?
● From minimalist digital design to exquisite mechanical craftsmanship, the clock redefines the measurement of time with precision and visualises it

▸Layer 2 — Structural and Social Framing: What long-term vision or aspiration underlies this design?
● Embodied in the ideology of productivity and control, maintaining social coordination through the planning of daily activities and collective schedules

▸Layer 3 — Emotional, Existential, and Aspirational Impulses: What core values or convictions are reflected in this design?
● It embodies humanity’s enduring desire to grasp the passage of time.

While we carefully observe the clock, beneath its precise measurements lies an exploration of the nature of time; the intricate collaboration between components is a manifestation of productivity and ideology, and that endless trajectory reflects the hopes and sentiments of people.

By analysing your design from different layers, you will discover how function, society, and emotion intertwine to form a unique personal embodiment. Submit your creative proposals by 27 July, and present your “Shape of Yearning” to the public!

為何人類擁有想像「比當下更好」的能力?

當我們不自覺地滑動手機尋找那些理想生活的碎片，或是反覆修改著一個未實現的構想草 圖時，設計正悄然成為連接現實與理想的橋樑。它像是一面多棱鏡，折射出我們對世界的理 解與想像，映照著內心深處那些無盡的渴望。

deTour 2025 以「想望之器」為題，從三個層面探索設計的意涵:

▸第一層 — 功能、美感與文化意涵
● 功能:設計如何回應實際需求與日常用途
● 美感:形式、材質與工藝如何形塑感官經驗
● 文化意涵:設計如何承載特定歷史背景、地域特色或象徵意義

▸第二層 — 結構與社會
● 世界觀:設計如何反映人們理解世界的方式 ● 系統思維:設計如何與社會互動
● 意識形態:設計中所隱含的價值觀、信念

▸第三層 — 情感、存在與願景
● 渴望:設計試圖回應的個人或集體渴望
● 存在:設計如何觸及脆弱性、控制感、死亡意識或歸屬感等存在議題
● 想像力:設計如何超越當下，投射未來或理想

策展人冀望每一件設計作品都是一個獨特的容器，盛載著設計師和創作者對「更好狀態」的 追尋。當我們靜心凝視，會發現設計早已超越其表面形式，成為我們與世界對話的獨特語言 ，訴說著集體與個人的夢想與期盼。

這是一場關於設計本質的思辨。歡迎在7月27日或之前提交你的計劃書，與我們一起重新思 考設計的意涵。

Submission Deadline：27 July (Sun), 2025 18:00 (HKT) | No deadline extensions❕

Why do humans possess the capacity to imagine something better than the present?

As we scroll through our phones in search of fragments of our ideal lives or repeatedly revise an unrealised concept sketch, design becomes a bridge connecting reality and aspiration. It acts like a prism, refracting our understanding and imagination of the world and reflecting the unceasing desires deep within us.

This year’s deTour, with the theme “The Shape of Yearning”, explores the essence of design from three interrelated layers:

▸Layer 1 — Practical, Aesthetic, and Cultural Dimensions
● Function: How the design fulfils practical needs and physical tasks
● Aesthetics: How form, material, and craftsmanship contribute to sensory experience
● Cultural Significance: How the design reflects or carries specific historical, regional, or symbolic meanings

▸Layer 2 — Structural and Social Framing
● Worldview: How the design expresses a way of seeing or interpreting the world
● Systems Thinking: How it engages with collective behaviour
● Ideology: How the design encodes values and beliefs

▸Layer 3 — Emotional, Existential, and Aspirational Impulses
● Desire: What personal or collective longing does the design express or attempt to
fulfil
● Human Condition: How the design speaks to themes of vulnerability, control,
mortality, or belonging
● Imagination: What futures or ideals does the design project beyond the present

The curator hopes that each design piece serves as a unique container, holding the designer’s and creator’s pursuit of a “better state”. When we take the time to observe, we discover that design transcends its surface form, becoming a unique language through which we engage with the world, expressing both collective and personal dreams and aspirations.

This is a critical insight into the essence of design. We invite you to submit your proposals on or before 27 July and rethink the meaning of design with us.

☞ 立即查閱資料冊並遞交計劃書： https://pmq.hk/yJDFT (link in bio)
截止日期：2025年7月27日（日）晚上6時（香港時間）| 恕不延期❕

感謝各位早前踴躍參與簡介會！策展人陳濬人深入解說今年 deTour 主題「想望之器」的深刻意涵，誠邀各位將啟發轉化為創意計劃書。

當我們凝視一件設計作品時，看見的遠不止功能與美學——它更是人類渴望的載體，折射著我們對「更好狀態」的永恆追尋。從下意識滑動手機尋找慰藉，到為「尚未存在的未來」描繪藍圖，這種跨越時間的想像力，正是設計創造力的核心。

本屆 deTour 邀請設計師及創作者從三個層面構思設計作品：
▸ 設想：你的作品回應了什麼問題？
▸ 理想：這項設計背後所追求的長遠願景是什麼？
▸ 信念：是什麼核心價值或信仰驅動你創作這件作品？

deTour 2025 現正向本地、中國內地及海外人才徵集「裝置及展覽」計劃書。無論是務實的解決方案、設計者的願景與反思，或是突破性的未來想像，都期待您將設計作為「想望之器」，盛載那些推動人類前進的思緒與渴望。

想將你的想法變成作品在 deTour 2025 展出？謹記在7月27日或之前提交你的計劃書啦！

Thank you to everyone who participated in the earlier briefing session! The curator, Adonian Chan, provided profound insight into the deTour 2025 theme— “The Shape of Yearning”. We now invite all designers and creators to transform these inspirations into creative proposals.

When we gaze upon a design piece, we see beyond assessing its beauty or utility—it serves as a vessel for thought and desire, reflecting our eternal pursuit of something “better than now.” From subconsciously scrolling through our phones for comfort to drawing blueprints for what does not yet exist, this timeless imagination is the foundation of creativity and design.

This year’s deTour invites designers and creators to conceive their designs from three perspectives:
▸ Envisioning: What issue or need does the work respond to?
▸ Idealising: What long-term vision or aspiration underlies this design?
▸ Believing: What core values or convictions drive you to create this work?

deTour 2025 is now calling for creative “Installation & Exhibition” proposals from local, mainland China and overseas talents. Whether it’s a practical solution, designers’ idea and reflection, or a groundbreaking vision of the future, we invite you to use design as a “vessel of longing”, carrying the thoughts and desires that drive humanity forward.

Don’t miss the chance to turn your ideas into a showcase piece at deTour 2025. Submit your proposal by 27 July!

deTour 設計節在過去十一年間，見證了無數設計師將具實驗性的創意轉化為具啟發性的體驗。這裡不僅是展覽的舞台，更是設計師與公眾深度對話的橋樑。每一件作品，都是對「設計還能是什麼？」的一次回應。

【deTour 2025 Open Call for Creative Proposal | Design Imagination Beyond Reality】

☞ Sign up now to join the briefing session and break through the boundaries of design imagination: https://pmq.hk/OTfAX

Over the past eleven years, the deTour design festival has witnessed countless designers transforming experimental creative ideas into thought-provoking experiences. It is not just a platform for exhibitions, but a bridge for meaningful dialogue between designers and the public. Every work is a response to the question: “What else can design be?”

For deTour 2025, we’ll explore how design connects thought and reality. Curator Adonian Chan will share the curatorial theme for the first time at the briefing session and offer key guidance for exhibition proposals. Co-creators from past deTour design festivals will also attend to share their experiences and insights.

This is not only the start of our open call, it’s an invitation to rethink design. Your imagination might be shaping the blueprint of design’s future.
