As described by the creator: kar studio:
"Originally created by the designer for their living room as a trash bin, this piece aims to embody a pursuit of aesthetic perfection amidst the scattered items in a guest-reception space. Made from glass fibre reinforced plastic, "Tong" features rounded corners that seamlessly integrate into the space. The designer believes that the interior of a product is also related to its user and should be as perfect as the exterior. Thus, "Tong"'s inner bottom surface has been softened with a concave treatment to maintain consistency with the rounded corners of the exterior. Additionally, the narrowing at the bottom allows "Tong" to be stacked in multiple layers. Beyond its function as a trash bin, "Tong" can also serve as a vase or a storage container for newspapers and magazines, extending the designer's original intent."

FOUNDERS THOUGHTS
BRAND PHILOSOPHY
Founder Steven Yeung talks about kar studio's guiding ethos.
'With the brand name “kar”, we hint at our inner pursuit in the oriental philosophy of “karma”, which relies on the power of time, nature, and interpersonal relations. We try to convey our view on beauty and values through the external expressions of furniture, space, objects, and lifestyles. We embrace causality and emotions through the process of our creations, gradually marching forward to the truth and essence of all things. By reinventing the traditions, we endeavour to create an artistic language which connects with the past and echoes with the present. Under a seemingly primitive appearance, we seek to pursue the exquisite textures and ultimate expression of craftsmanship, revealing its powerful inner energy while striking an elegant balance between living and art.'
