michael young is showcasing one of his latest industrial innovations during the art HK 09 hong kong international art fair. hosted by the pawn, a modern british bar & eatery, the installation debuted on may 14 and the exhibition will be on view until june 14, 2009.
a collaboration with chinese industrialists, the zipte link system is essentially a table system that can be assembled into vast structures. the installation in hong kong is the first to test the system’s potential and is a prototype. the system is a development of previous experiments with folded paper structures which were later produced by established and sons in great britain – young’s previous home in the form of zipzi tables.
