To continue the success of last year, the second Hong Kong Interior Design Week (HKIDW) will be held from 14 to 20 October 2022 at Tai Kwun in Central. Launched by the Hong Kong Interior Design Association and sponsored by Create Hong Kong, the event serves to celebrate the achievements of Hong Kong interior designers, widen industry newcomers’ exposure and promote local interior designs overseas.
With the theme of The Power of Hong Kong Interior Design, HKIDW 2022 will feature an exhibition, international forums, Asia-Pacific student workshops, an open house programme and the 30th Asia Pacific Interior Design Awards Presentation Ceremony.

All these pieces will then be put on display at the Guangzhou Design Week from 9 to 12 December 2022 to promote exchanges among interior design communities in the Greater Bay Area. Moreover, 18 student works from six local tertiary institutions will be on show to demonstrate young creative talents.
