About deTour 2025
Featuring 17 installations and exhibits, this year’s festival brings together designers from Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, Italy, Japan, the Philippines, Switzerland, and the United States. International Collaboration is designed by Encor Studio from Switzerland. Through delicate use of light and electrochromic films, as well as sound and visual composition, the Studio turned the Qube within PMQ into a living, responsive canvas. This minimalist installation offers unforgettable immersive sensory experience and invites the audience to explore the integration of technology and design, while reawakening memory and evoking traces of time.
