What Hong Kong motifs do you spot on this wax print fabric? Egg waffle pans, mooncakes, or colourful fish from our Gold Fish markets?

Enjoy this cross-cultural furniture item that pays homage to Hong Kong’s textile industrial spirit in the form of wax print fabric, a textile produced and popularly worn across Africa and by the African diaspora.

Originally commissioned by CHAT for the special display ‘Patternways: Visualising Hong Kong in Transition’, this fabric titled Shared Routes was designed by Rachel Wood from the United Kingdom and printed by Akosombo Industrial Company Limited in Ghana. The wax printing process ensures that each yard of fabric is unique from the next. Now, the fabric transforms into a portable multifunctional furniture piece, in collaboration with local design collective BOOKNITURE.
