Studio Leung is a young and diverse design studio based in Hong Kong. It was opened by Michael Leung in London 2006.
Michael was born in London and graduated in July 2005 from Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication. After graduating, Michael moved to Amsterdam to do a 7-month internship with Droog Design, under the direction of Gijs Bakker.
Michael has worked with international companies such as LEXON (France), American Apparel (USA), Corian (UK), Chi ha paura...? (Amsterdam), the Motorola Design Studio (London), Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (Hong Kong/Paris), Michael Young (Hong Kong) and the Lenovo Design Studio (Hong Kong).
Studio Leung focuses on products and services that enrich everyday life by observing people's behaviours, using form and design language appropriately, and by using materials in a meaningful way. The studio's work ranges from mass-market consumer electronics to conceptual objects for people who have passed away.
Studio Leung are currently designing products/services and collaborating with international companies, designers and local governments/organisations. The Studio Leung shop serves as an outlet for products that are suitable for batch production - many of which are made in England, and soon to be in Hong Kong.
