☞ 立即查閱資料冊並遞交計劃書：https://pmq.hk/eGIQY
截止日期：2026 年 7 月 19 日（日）下午 6 時（香港時間）

年度主題「Better, Not Perfect：Prototypes for Tomorrow」聚焦於設計的完整旅程：
從「構想」、「原型」到最終「產生影響」。

Future Track ｜「＋1」維度
策展：鄭智禮
未來不只講求效率，更關乎情感。
本區探問設計如何改變我們對生活的感受，
超越功能，打開新的感知可能，才是真正的改變。

兩個以想像力重塑日常的實踐，展現科技融入設計、讓一件實用工具變得玩味的瞬間：

🖱️ Brendan｜ 我的「智慧家居」
硬件工程師 Brendan 創造了一系列「沒人要求、但充滿玩味」的科技實驗。
透過投影機與程式編寫，讓電腦游標的移動能夠在實體空間中產生回應。
滑鼠游標所到之處，可以點亮一盞燈、讓一本書從書架掉落、或驅動路軌上的物件移動。
日常的滑鼠操作變成了一場空間探索，將數位與實體世界連結起來。

🎛️ Local Host Audio｜ 會演奏的機械
Local Host Audio 把工業摩打轉化為多聲道樂器。
透過編寫程式碼控制 ESP32 微控制器，
以特定頻率驅動摩打轉動，讓機械的振動產生對應的音高。
摩打不再只是工具，而是一件能夠演奏的裝置。

The Future Track 展區鼓勵設計師：
▸挑戰物件的既定用途，放大設計與科技背後人人可參與的探索
▸讓觀眾不再是被動的接受者，而是成為你作品實驗與互動中的主體

【💡 deTour 2026 | Introduction of The Future Track 💡】

☞ Access the information kit and submit your proposal now: https://pmq.hk/eGIQY
Deadline: 19 July 2026 (Sun) 6:00 PM (HKT)

This year's theme, "Better, Not Perfect: Prototypes for Tomorrow", highlights the design journey: from "Ideation" and "Prototypes" to "Impact."

The Future Track | "+1" Dimension
Curated by Chilai Howard

The future is not just about efficiency — it's about emotion and connection. This zone asks: How can design reshape our experience of everyday life? Moving beyond function, it opens new ways of interaction, and that shift is where real change begins.

Two design practices that reimagine the everyday through imagination, showing how design can make a practical tool playful and a routine interaction become a moment of curiosity:

🖱️ Brendan | My Cursor Controls My Home
Hardware engineer Brendan creates a series of experiments using a projector and programming to bridge the digital and physical worlds. As the cursor moves across, it activates real-world responses: turning on a lamp, making a book fall from a shelf, or moving an object along a track. A mouse operation becomes a spatial exploration, connecting the digital and physical in poetic ways, like a real "Smart Home."

🎛️ Local Host Audio | Motors as Instruments
Local Host Audio transforms industrial stepper motors into a multi-channel instrument. By writing code to control an ESP32 microcontroller, they drive the motors at specific frequencies, turning mechanical vibration into musical pitches. A motor is no longer just a tool, but a performative installation.

The Future Track encourages designers to:
▸ Go beyond pure functionalism — amplify accessible technology and design.
▸ Transform the audience from passive observers into the active subjects of your design experiment.

年度主題「Better, Not Perfect：Prototypes for Tomorrow」聚焦於設計的完整旅程：從「構想」、「原型」到最終「產生影響」。

The IRL Field ｜「＋1」演進
策展：張凱琨
本區聚焦於設計過程中的「試錯、研發與工藝沉澱」。
設計不是一步登天，是透過不懈的實驗，將構想精煉為符合需求的最終成品。

兩個著名設計的實踐，完美說明了設計如何透過「＋1」的演進，改變產業：

🟫 Fernando Laposse ｜ 廢棄玉米殼重塑經濟系統
當市場追求單一產物、墨西哥在地農民陷入經濟困境，
設計師 Fernando 利用被拋棄的彩色玉米外殼，
經歷無數次試驗、繁複的切割與拼貼，
將「農業廢料」精煉成鑲嵌工藝面料（Marquetry）與不同家具，
用工藝把經濟話語權交還給農夫。

⬛ Formafantasma ｜ 翻轉黑炭製造的實驗
黑炭長久以來被標籤為不環保的傳統能源。
知名設計團體 Formafantasma 卻看到好的一面，放大炭淨化的天然特質。
並在漫長的高溫工藝試錯中，將粗糙的黑炭淬煉為器皿與藝術品。

這兩個成功走入市場並改變商業規模的設計實踐，都是：
＋ 長週期的設計研究與試錯，賦予物料新功能
＋ 每一次的進步、讓設計更優化生活

The IRL Field 展區鼓勵設計師：
▸展示扎實的研究，展出經得起時間推敲、建立新標準的作品
▸將試錯的過程與大眾分享，呈現「真實品質」是如何被一次次實驗磨練出來

歡迎將你的構想與研究變成作品在 deTour 2026 展出，入選作品將獲製作資助

☞ Access the information kit and submit your proposal now: https://pmq.hk/eGIQY
Deadline: 19 July 2026 (Sun) 6:00 PM (HKT)

This year's theme, "Better, Not Perfect: Prototypes for Tomorrow", highlights the design journey: from "Ideation" and "Prototypes" to "Impact".

The IRL Field | "+1" Iteration
Curated by Dennis Cheung

This zone focuses on "trial and error, R&D, and craft refinement" in the design process.
Design is never instant; it requires continuous experimentation to elevate a concept into a finalised product.

Two famous design practices perfectly show how a micro-evolution drives macro-impact:

🟫 Fernando Laposse | Shucking the System with Corn Husks
When market monopolies pushed Mexican farmers into low income, designer Fernando utilised discarded multicoloured corn husks. Through continuous testing, intricate cutting, and laminating, he re-engineered agricultural waste into marquetry and furniture—returning economic autonomy to local farmers.

⬛ Formafantasma | Flipping the Script on Charcoal
Challenging the stigma of charcoal as a dirty fuel, Formafantasma saw its potential and amplified its natural purifying qualities. Through high-temperature trial and error, they successfully transformed raw charcoal into exquisite vessels and art pieces.

Both of these design practices that successfully entered the market and transformed commercial scales demonstrate:
＋ Long-term design research and trial, giving new functions to materials
＋ Optimising daily life through each incremental technical advancement

The IRL Field encourages designers to:
▸ Submit substantial works that stand the test of time and set new standards.
▸ Reveal the earned technical advancements, showcasing how genuine quality is earned through repetition.

年度主題「Better, Not Perfect：Prototypes for Tomorrow」聚焦於設計的完整旅程：從「構想」、「原型」到最終「產生影響」。

The Concept Lab｜「+1」想法
策展：曾偉俊、何鴻禮
作為這場旅程的起點，聚焦於最初的「構想」，將日常物件加個想法，就能改變生活？

兩個無比熟悉的經典，完美說明了設計如何從微小構想發展成巨大影響：

🧩 LEGO 「Stud and Tube」結構
傳統積木只能向上疊或呈金字塔狀，創作受限於重力。
LEGO 觀察到這個痛點，研發出 “Stud and Tube” 系統，
實現了「懸臂式結構（Cantilever）」向外延伸，
讓積木結構更穩固、可重複安拆，全面釋放創作自由。

📦 IKEA 宜家的「Flat Pack 平盒包裝」
過去家具因整件運送、運費高昂且極易損壞，運輸往往受限於區域。
IKEA 丟出一個關鍵提問：「可不可以將家具 Flat Pack 化？」
這個由大眾自行組裝的系統，直接改寫了產業設計規則，徹底改變了人類佈置家居的方式。

這兩個改變產業的設計，起點都極其簡單：
＋ 從日常物件出發，提出一個核心提問
＋ 加一個想法

這正是 The Concept Lab 期望為你提供的實踐平台，我們鼓勵你：
▸ 作出實際的回應：可觸摸的實體，讓大眾更易切入
▸ 展示尚未成功的思考雛形：不追求無懈可擊的成品，而是展示限制與新方向的寶貴思考過程

歡迎將你的構想與研究變成作品在 deTour 2026 展出，入選作品將獲製作資助。

Curated by Aron Tsang & Wesley Ho
As the journey's starting point, it focuses on the genesis of an idea from everyday objects to a disruptive (and positive) change in our lives

The curators share 2 timeless examples of how a micro-concept drives macro-impact:
🧩 LEGO ｜ The “Stud and Tube” System
Traditional blocks are only stacked vertically.
LEGO noticed the problem and developed the “Stud and Tube” system, enabling cantilever structures to extend outward, making interlocking blocks stable, reversible, and unlocking creative freedom.

📦 IKEA ｜ The “Flat Pack” Innovation
Shipping fully assembled furniture used to be restricted by distance due to high transit costs.
IKEA asked: “Can we make furniture flat packed?” This universal self-assembly system changed industrial design and permanently changed how we furnish homes.

These industry-changing designs were remarkably simple:
＋ Rooted in the everyday, starting with a core question
＋ Simply adding a "+1" idea

This is the experimental platform “The Concept Lab” offers you. We encourage you to:
▸ Showcase your physical works that allow the public to engage
▸ Share thinking in progress: Present the valuable journey of developing, rather than a flawless final product

【📢deTour 2026 設計節 | 公開徵集創意計劃書！📢】

☞ 立即查閱資料冊並遞交計劃書：https://pmq.hk/eGIQY
截止日期：2026 年 7 月 19 日（日）下午 6 時（香港時間）

感謝各位早前踴躍參與簡介會！策展團隊深入闡釋今年主題 「Better, Not Perfect：Prototypes for Tomorrow」並分享三個策展區域內容，誠邀你將創意轉化為計劃書，入選作品將獲製作資助。

「這座城市，是在無數次的推敲、實踐與修正中，徐徐成形。」

在香港，設計從不是遠離大眾的宏大理想，而是生活裡那份靈活應變、務實求進的生命力。Better, Not Perfect 是一份邀請，讓我們將「迭代精進」視為一種心態——進步不在於追求完美，而在於我們是否願意不斷思考、演煉，並與現實對話。

deTour 2026 聚焦那些為日常帶來微細卻具深遠潛力的設計：可能是一件更契合生活感知的器物、一個更具人文關懷的系統，或是一項更顯開放與包容的在地實踐。這並非宏大的烏托邦藍圖，而是一場腳踏實地的實踐過程。

我們徵集改變生活的構想、設計原型（Prototypes）、研究中的作品，以至對未來的設計構想。
這些作品不必完美，卻是展現迭代軌跡與思考深度的最佳展示。

今屆 deTour 將設有三個展區，為不同階段的創作提供舞台：

▸ The Concept Lab（曾偉俊 & 何鴻禮策展）— 從日常出發，透過試錯與迭代，讓概念在真實條件中逐步成形
▸ The IRL Field（張凱琨策展）— 經反覆錘煉的紮實作品，呈現設計如何回應現實
▸ The Future Track（鄭智禮策展）— 強調情感連結與觀眾參與，更以想像力重塑對日常的感受，打開新的感知可能

不求完美。持續演變。並肩前行。

想將你的想法變成作品在 deTour 2026 展出？
謹記在 7 月 19 日 或之前提交你的計劃書！

【deTour 2026 | Open Call for Creative Proposals!】

☞ Check the information kit and submit your proposal now: https://pmq.hk/eGIQY
Deadline: 19 July 2026 (Sun) 6:00 PM (HKT)

Thanks to everyone who joined our recent briefing session! The curatorial team shared the vision behind this year's theme—"Better, Not Perfect: Prototypes for Tomorrow"—and presented the three curatorial zones. We now invite you all to turn your creativity into a proposal. Selected works will receive production sponsorship.

"Hong Kong is a city shaped by making, adapting, and moving forward."

In Hong Kong, design is never a distant ideal—it is a daily practice of adjustment, driven by flexibility and a pragmatic spirit. Better, Not Perfect invites us to embrace iteration as a mindset: progress is not measured by perfection, but by our willingness to refine, rethink, and respond to reality.

This edition of deTour focuses on designs that bring small yet meaningful upgrades to everyday life—objects that respond more thoughtfully, systems that care more deeply, or local practices that feel lighter, fairer, and more inclusive. These are not grand utopias—they are acts of practical optimism.

We are calling for ideas that shape daily lives, prototypes, works-in-progress, and future design concepts. They don’t need to be perfect, but must demonstrate a journey of iteration and intellectual depth.

deTour 2026 features three exhibition zones, each offering a platform for different stages of creative practice:

▸ The Concept Lab (Curated by Aron Tsang & Wesley) — Starting from the everyday, shaping concepts through trial, error, and real‑world testing
▸ The IRL Field (Curated by Dennis Cheung) — Refined, substantial works that demonstrate how design responds to reality
▸ The Future Track (Curated by Chilai Howard) — Going beyond problem‑solving, to reimagine the everyday and open new possibilities of perception

Not perfect. In progress. Together.
