The Ove Gallery

A collaboration between Ove and Ying The Label, ‘Autumn’ takes inspiration from the idea of “fluidity” - how colours and shades are never one. The main art hand-painted by Ying, the “ginkgo leaf”, is a plant that symbolises singular beauty, longevity, and a profound resilience. Inspired by the colours of the Ginkgo leaf in autumn, ‘Autumn’ hopes to inspire people to see the beauty in fragility and remember that there will always be a silver lining.

Matching the Autumn Kimono, this set of ceramic plates is designed with a botanical scene of ginkgo leaves. Every piece is handmade and glazed in earthy tones by a local potter; perfect for that Zoom meeting over lunch or as a jewellery tray.

Earth; is a collaboration with New Norm in Hong Kong. The base is made of solid marble and the holder with brass. The shape of the holder has also been moulded to resemble Earth & its rotation – cultivating mindfulness of the present. The design concept is inspired by natural forms – the sun, the moon, the earth; a nostalgia from our past travels. The common ethos of architectural sleek forms and a minimalist modern aesthetic defines both brands.

The Zwonaka Collection is a collection of handmade print masks & head scarfs from South Africa. Each are individually hand-stitched by Glory Rakhivhane in Johannesburg, South Africa. Glory is a single mother and supports her children by running a small business that designs African styled products. In the midst of the world still battling Covid-19, our campaign embraces the New Normal and our initiative revolves around global awareness through cultural design. In a climate of increasing protectionism and borders remain closed, collaborations across the world despite differing cultures and geography are boundless and possible. The word ‘Zwonaka’ is from the South African language, Venda and it means “it is beautiful”.

This is a social initiative and all profits are invested into masks for charity.
