Manks is a renowned specialist in the region for the best of genuine Scandinavian furniture & lighting. Established in 1996, Manks has for 27 years, tirelessly promoted lifestyle and designer furniture, lighting, antiques and homeware from Scandinavia.
The recent launch of the Arne Jacobsen’s classic Ant chair with Danish Kvadrat front upholstery is yet another fine example of Manks dedication to Nordic design.
The Ant chair was designed in 1952 by iconic Danish architect Arne Jacobsen for the Novo Nordisk canteen. Novo Nordisk was and still is, a leading Danish global healthcare company. With the organic silhouette of the chair resembling that of an ant, this 1950s design is truly an endearing icon of Danish Modern Design. The original design of the Ant was 3-legged with the 4-legged version introduced in 1971. Both with continued production since.
Made from 9 layers of pressure molded veneer, the introduction of the Ant chair with its curved single piece pressed seat and back was a technical innovation back in 1950s. It paved the way for the creation of the iconic Series 7, Grand Prix and Lily chairs, a series of award-winning chairs all originating from the Ant.
The latest Ant is available in a myriad of shell and base colour variants. The launch of the Ant in soft grey with front upholstery in the finest Kvadrat grey fabric is modern, stylish to complement both metal or wooden legged tables. As mentioned by co-founder of Manks, Paul Fung, the 4-legged Ant chair goes perfectly with the Superellipse, Circular tables and Essay rectangular solid oak table which are from the same stable, Fritz Hansen.
Legendary Danish architect Arne Jacobsen is the most influential designer in Danish modern design to date. His masterpieces include the Egg chair, Series 7, Lily chairs and AJ lamp, most revered among design lovers. All of these Danish national treasures are presently on display at Manks.
The iconic Ant chair is produced by prestigious Danish furniture maker Fritz Hansen in Europe.
Founded in Denmark in 1872, Fritz Hansen is a global leader in furniture, lighting design and production. Driven by a passion for beauty, quality and craftsmanship, the company embodies a modern, Nordic lifestyle and collaborates with visionary designers from around the world such as Arne Jacobsen, Poul Kjaerholm, Cecilie Manz & Jamie Hayon.
The iconic Ant chair and its matching Circular & Essay tables are showcased in Manks 6,000 sq.ft. master showroom in Wong Chuk Hang, the southside of HK during the month of September.
Even though we’ve taken so many effective steps to slow down the spread of the disease, Hong Kong is still in dark times and social activities remain confined, which is highly frustrating in springtime. Therefore, Give Gift Boutique launches a new collection of stress-relieving gifts, flower bouquets, and flower arrangements to bring out the light and cheer everyone up.

As the outbreak of COVID-19 in Hong Kong continues, the chance to strengthen employee and client relations is coming and companies are already ordering tailor-made corporate gifts. Therefore, Give Gift Boutique, a leading online gift flower shop in Hong Kong, has been taking lots of orders from companies and organizations and the director said, “There are many companies came to us for two purposes, avoiding unnecessary contact and maintaining their relationships with employees and clients.” And GGB has updated the customized corporate gift service for the pandemic to offer an ideal option for companies to send love to employees and clients.
Work From Home Pandemic Care Hampers
Since the 5th wave of COVID-19 outbroke in Hong Kong, companies are losing their best talent. That’s because employees are feeling stressed and increasingly relying on benefits offerings when deciding where to work in these uncertain times, so employers can no longer afford to treat employee benefits as an afterthought. Also, managing and improving client relationships is the lifeblood of any company. Obviously, the priority in HK now is health and that’s why GGB launched Work From Home Pandemic Care Hampers with CE accredited COVID-19 rapid antigen detection kits, sanitizer hand soaps, advanced hand sanitizers, and high-end nourishing food and supplements, and of course, there are delicious food and famous wine from over the world too. These thoughtful gifts will surely surprise the employees and clients and encourage them to go through hard days together.
Customized Corporate Gifts
During the pandemic, GGB has been taking orders from many companies for Virus Protection & Antigen Rapid Test Gifts, including COVID-19 rapid antigen detection kits, masks, advanced hand sanitizers, etc. What’s more, GGB is offering customized corporate gifts to meet any request for gifts from companies, providing bouquets, fruits, wine, food, and so on.

复活节兔子商务礼篮 蕴含历史文化的礼物
复活节兔子是复活节的象征之一,起源于西欧文化,有非常悠久的历史,由于兔子具有极强的繁殖能力,它们被视为生命的创造者,也象征春天的复苏。如今,复活节兔子更多是作为给小朋友送复活节蛋的使者出现,类似圣诞节的圣诞老人。尚礼坊花店以此为灵感,在复活节礼篮系列中特别加入复活节兔子元素,搭配从世界各地搜罗的美食,并提供香港18区送货服务,企业一次性订购全部员工和客户的礼物,花店将分别送到不同地址,为企业向员工、客户、合作伙伴表达节日祝福和关怀。

Easter in 2022 falls on Sunday, April 17, and therefore Give Gift Boutique launched a brand new series of Easter gift hampers as it is a very significant date within Christianity and is also celebrated by the general public.
Easter Bunny
The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Easter might be a rabbit. Easter comes during spring and celebrates new life and the rabbit is always a symbol of fertility, but there’s no certainty as to why it became associated with Easter. Nowadays, Easter Bunnies come as the envoy with Easter eggs just like Santa at Christmas. Give Gift Boutique combined Easter Bunnies with delicious food over the world to design the new series of Easter gift hampers, providing home delivery service throughout Hong Kong on time. Bulk orders will be delivered separately to different addresses for employees, clients, and business partners to send holiday greetings.
Price: $1005 HKD
Price: $570 HKD
Easter Eggs
Next to the Easter bunny, the most familiar symbol is the Easter egg. Many ancient cultures around the world viewed eggs as a symbol of life. Originally, Christians dyed eggs red to represent the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the cross, but it’s more common to send egg-shaped chocolate to friends and children as holiday greetings. Hence, GGB designed the new series with delicious egg-shaped chocolate and pastry with brightly colorful baskets, which makes them perfect to be shared with family and friends.

Today's digital environment inspired Team Building Asia to transform into an online-driven business, providing over 30 unique virtual solutions for clients who are looking to solve team cohesion and workplace problems. This fundamental shift has established a new competitive edge for the team building vendor. However, they felt that its brand identity was no longer in line with this new business approach. Consequently, its new logo embodies cohesion as well as innovation and the new brand colours represent stability and approachability. Once more, Team Building Asia is leading innovation and agility in the entire events industry around Asia Pacific.
Stuart Harris, co-founder and Managing Director at Team Building Asia, said: "This year has given us time to reflect on the last 18 years of business and look at what is core to us, and the team building is core for Team Building Asia, and the new branding represents a modern view of the company."
In reality, Team Building Asia has always proved to be agile, innovative and a pioneer in the events industry. In 2019, the company was trusted by 228 clients in 18 cities across Asia, leaving 14,307 participants with a smile on their face and new skills in their pocket.
David Simpson, co-founder and Director of Learning and Development, added: "Having started this journey in 2002 both Stuart and I are enthused to see how the brand has evolved into its current form. The old logos and colours served us well and when we dived deep into what the brand now represents, we were inspired to discover that what we do is a little bit of magic mixed with a lot of knowledge and wisdom. This intuitively led us to think about the guide types of Sage and Magician, it’s what we do for our clients and the rebrand represents this with new visual forms and colours, it is very exciting."
And Team Building Asia is not sitting still. In the coming months, the founders are launching an exciting new initiative on learning through cutting-edge technology - think high-impact, immersive learning and VR. Coming soon!

L’événement « FLOWERS BY NAKED » s'est tenu dans tout le Japon, y compris à Tokyo (Nihonbashi), Nagoya et Okinawa, et a rassemblé un total de 500 000 personnes. C’est une exposition d'art mettant en vedette les fleurs, un espace artistique où vous pouvez prendre des photos « attrayantes» sur Instagram, et qui a enregistré 64 000 affichages hashtag « #flowersbynaked ».
L'année dernière, l'événement s'est déroulé pour la première fois au château Nijo-jo, site patrimonial mondial ayant pour thème « Fleurs et traditions », et a suscité un accueil favorable en profitant de la résurgence du château Nijo-jo comme jamais vu auparavant, combinant l`architecture des bâtiments historiques et l`art progressiste.
Cette année, le deuxième événement aura lieu pour célébrer le 25e anniversaire de l'inscription au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO du château Nijo-jo (1994).

Le château Nijo-jo, qui a été témoin de la tumultueuse histoire japonaise depuis sa construction il y a 400 ans, continue d’accroître son charme grâce à des œuvres d'art d’avant-garde.
Le thème est le «Phoenix». Le phénix , symbole de la prospérité éternelle, s’assimile à la beauté éphémère et à la vitalité des fleurs. Lorsque le phénix s'envole, les fleurs NAKED flottent au-dessus du château Nijo-jo, témoin de la transition du Japon depuis plus de 400 ans, égayant Kyoto des couleurs de l’automne.

Le nombre de personnes ayant assisté à la présentation annuelle du château Nijo-jo, site patrimonial mondial, en 2017, année de la première participation de NAKED, a augmenté d'environ 400 000 personnes par rapport à l'année précédente. Le château Nijo-jo, qui a été témoin de la tumultueuse histoire japonaise depuis sa construction il y a 400 ans, continue d’accroître son charme grâce à des œuvres d'art d’avant-garde.
Le thème est le «Phoenix». Le phénix , symbole de la prospérité éternelle, s’assimile à la beauté éphémère et à la vitalité des fleurs. Lorsque le phénix s'envole, les fleurs NAKED flottent au-dessus du château Nijo-jo, témoin de la transition du Japon depuis plus de 400 ans, égayant Kyoto des couleurs de l’automne. À l'apogée de l'histoire, nous vous livrerons de nouvelles œuvres de collaboration magnifiques et tridimensionnelles entre Ikebana de l'école d`art japonais Ikenobo, et la fine pointe de l`art numérique.

Commemorating 25th Anniversary of World Heritage Site Registration
FLOWERS BY NAKED 2019 – Nijo-jo Castle, Kyoto –
FLOWERS BY NAKED has been held across the country in Tokyo (Nihonbashi), Nagoya, Okinawa and other locations, and to-date, has been received 500,000 visitors. This year, works were even displayed in Hong Kong and China.
This immersive flower art exhibition has been posted about more than 64,000 times on Instagram under “#flowersbynaked” as an artistic space where visitors can take photogenic photographs.
The event was first held last year at the World Heritage Site Nijo-jo Castle under the theme “Flowers and Tradition.” The event was highly praised for enabling visitors to enjoy a new autumn version of Nijo-jo Castle that had never before existed by fusing traditional buildings with advanced art.
In 2017 when NAKED was first incorporated into the presentation, the number of visitors to the World Heritage Site Nijo-jo Castle increased by nearly 400,000 people over the previous year. And now, Nijo-jo Castle, which has been standing watch over the turbulent course of Japanese history for the 400 years since its construction, continues to further enhance its charm together with cutting-edge art.
This year, the event’s second installment commemorates the 25th anniversary of Nijo-jo Castle’s registration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (1994). Accordingly, the event has been scaled up and will feature a larger production area than last year. For the first time ever, visitors can experience the world of “FLOWERS BY NAKED” both indoors and outdoors.
And the theme this year is the “Chinese phoenix,” the symbol of eternal prosperity. The phoenix touches the fleeting beauty and vitality possessed by flowers, and when it takes to the sky, the ‘naked’ flowers decorate the old capital wrapped in the beauty of autumn as they flutter about Nijo-jo Castle, which has stood watch over Japan’s transitions for more than 400 years. As the story being spun reaches its climax, visitors get to view a newly-created, gorgeous, 3-dimensional collaboration piece featuring digital art together with ikebana arranged by Ikenobo, the Leading School of Floral Art.

Japan's Top Creative Company NAKED has Already Landed in Shanghai
Steadily continuing its advance in the field of immersive digital art using projection mapping with Japan's representative artist Ryotaro Muramatsu at its center, creative company NAKED is opening its event “OCEAN BY NAKED 如海・空間” (Sat., 13 July 2019 to Mon., 16 February 2020) at the Shanghai World Financial Center, Pudong District, Shanghai, China.
From OCEAN BY NAKED 如海・空間
Representative Ryotaro Muramatsu is a film director who has been nominated at more than 50 international film festivals and has won seven awards, and the productions he has directed at NAKED have garnered a reputation for their narrative character. Tradition and Innovation. The event has been called a collection that takes natural phenomena such as cherry blossoms, the sea and stars as its motives. “TREE by NAKED” is an art gastronomy restaurant that takes the story of life with the tree as its theme. What lies at the root of the work NAKED does is a redefinition of the beauty of the world that lies buried within our hectic every-day lives. Through the power of creativity, it is to bring forth a new “scene” within people's lives. That is NAKED's mission.
TREE by NAKED
FLOWERS BY NAKED 2019 – from Tokyo, Nihonbashi
Founded in 1997, NAKED Inc. brings together artist Ryotaro Muramatsu, who is currently also presenting his work at an art gallery in Venice, Italy, where one of the foremost art exhibitions worldwide, the Venice Biennale, is being held, and creative specialists from many different fields.
NAKED initially concentrated its activities on the field of film productions, but as the scope of its expression no longer fit into the cinema framework, it has left behind the cinema for the world of 3D. Held in order to commemorate the restoration of Tokyo Station in 2012, the projection mapping production “TOKYO HIKARI VISION” had more than 230,000 visitors and found itself instantly in the limelight. Remarkably, with the subsequent steady advance of the term digital art, it mesmerized not only the Japanese, but also the people of global cities such as Beijing, Taipei, Paris and Las Vegas.
With projects such as regional branding, which is steadily gathering speed, and a projection mapping realized together with school children whose school was set to be closed, the world Ryotaro Muramatsu and NAKED live in is certainly not businesslike. For it always contains the passion of making people have life-changing experiences and crafting narratives that touch people.
NAKED representative Ryotaro Muramatsu during his time as a film director
What NAKED Inc. looked like when it first started out: At the beginning, NAKED started with a small number of members, but currently, over 100 members have come to play an active role in the world while devoting themselves to their studies (Ryotaro Muramatsu is the second person from the left in the front row).
Ryotaro Muramastu, the representative of NAKED also teaches as an associate faculty member at Osaka University of Arts, spreading his enthusiasm to the field of education.
“OCEAN BY NAKED 如海・空間” (Sat., 13 July 2019 to Mon., 16 February 2020), which NAKED plans, directs and produces, is currently on show for the first time worldwide on the 4th floor and at the viewing platform on the 94th floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center, Pudong District, Shanghai, China.
With a total of 14 works presented on 2,000 square meters on the 4th floor and at the viewing platform on the 94th floor, this is the largest event to date for the company.
From “OCEAN BY NAKED 如海・空間”
On the 4th floor, we present the narrative of a trip around the world of the sea that starts at the water's edge, dives down to deep-sea depths of 6,500m and then returns to the surface. At the viewing platform on the 94th floor, at an altitude of 423m, we show the story of a wonderful world in which you encounter magical sea creatures that emerge into the real Shanghai cityscape.
In a narrative vision of the world supported by film sequences that NAKED specializes in, various technologies combine to create an experience like a trip through the world of a fantasy film.
Discounted early bookings sold out faster than ever before, with 5,000 tickets gone within a one hour of the beginning of the sale. As of 4 July 2019, advance sales have continued to register record numbers at the viewing platform where the event is held. Also, major Chinese online ticket sites such as Maoyan (猫眼), Che Guevara (格瓦拉), Meituan (美団), Da Zhong Dian Ping (大衆点評), WeChat (微信) and Go (走起)2 have all ranked this event as No. 1 in the category exhibitions and shows, and public attention is rising (as of 4 July, 2019. The ranking by number of tickets sold is the popularity ranking).
On the 4th floor, we present the narrative of a trip around the world of the sea that starts at the water's edge, dives down to deep-sea depths of 6,500m and then returns to the surface.
The artworks and the world vision of NAKED have been spreading across Asia, and it continues to concentrate on expanding its activities to further parts of the world.

Press Release
002 Ryotaro Muramatsu / NAKED
16 August 2019 – 22 September 2019
Whitestone Gallery Hong Kong
Whitestone Gallery Hong Kong is pleased to present 002 Ryotaro Muramatsu / NAKED, the first
solo exhibition in Hong Kong of artist Ryotaro Muramatsu, CEO of the Tokyo-based creative company NAKED Inc. Featuring six new series of works, including interactive multimedia pieces and projection mapping, this is Whitestone Gallery’s second solo presentation of artist’s work following a 2018 solo show in Tokyo titled 001.
In this new work, Muramatsu explores the potential of cutting-edge digital technology as a medium, incorporating elements of his philosophy on nature, beauty, and life in a poetic and meditative way. Ambiguity is referenced multiple times in the 002, alluding to the blurred line between ‘beginning’ and ‘end,’ or ‘existence’ and ‘non-existence’. Ultimately this evokes a circle of life in a mysterious yet harmonious way. This concept is evident in “HAZAMA -A Space Between-”, an interactive piece capturing the movement of powerful waves crashing explosively on a shore. The artist explains ‘The shore is a borderline where two worlds meet with a constant ebb and flow of energy. … Life colorfully blossoms and vanishes at this ambiguous borderline.’ In this piece, the artist places viewers into the position of the moon. Like the moon’s gravitational pull generates tidal force, when viewers approach the work, the tide starts to rise and becomes a vigorous wave.
Even though technology is a key element in visualizing, and augmenting his expression in these works, Muramatsu achieves
subtle balance between concept and technology so the later doesn’t overwhelm the artwork. For example, he uses traditional and natural elements like Arita Ceramics (AKARI series works, 2019), real tree branches (CHILL, 2019), or collaborates with the leaders of traditional Japanese culture to express his aesthetics without being overshadowed by technology. Thus, his practice also evolves and blurs the line between technology and art.
Ryotaro Muramatsu / NAKED
Since founding the creative company NAKED Inc. in 1997, the Tokyo based artist has led projects in various fields such as film, television, music videos, advertisements, and spatial presentation. The films he directed have received more than 48
nominations and awards at film festivals around the world. In recent years he has produced immersive art events including
“FLOWERS BY NAKED” and “TOKYO ART CITY BY NAKED”, along with events, installations, and live performances in collaboration with leaders of traditional Japanese culture. While teaching as a visiting professor at Osaka University of Arts, he also leads local revitalization events and cultural programs in communities around Japan, starting with Achi Village, Nagano where he is branding director.
NAKED Inc.
NAKED Inc. is a Tokyo based creative company Ryotaro Muramatsu founded in 1997. Following the corporate visions of “Core Creative”, “Total Creation” and “Borderless Creativity”, the company has presented works throughout the years in film,
television, music videos, advertisements, spatial presentation, local community revitalization, and education programs. NAKED Inc.’s recent projects include “FLOWERS PIECES from FLOWERS BY NAKED” at MOSTown, Hong Kong, and “OCEAN BY NAKED” at Shanghai World Financial Center, Shanghai, China.
Whitestone Gallery opens from Tuesday to Sunday, 11am to 7pm
