Hong Kong Historical Shops (DFAA 2025 - Grand Award)

【Judges’ Comments | DFA Design for Asia Awards 2025 - Grand Award Series】

This year, the DFA Design for Asia Awards 2025 celebrated 10 incredible Grand Award winners! Check out the insights from our esteemed international judges on these outstanding projects!

Winning project:
Hong Kong Historical Shops
Wholly Wholly Ltd / Hong Kong

Judge’s Comment:
“To me, this is not just a beautifully designed book—it’s the result of five years of dedicated research. It captures the history, lifestyle, and culture of Hong Kong’s old shops and restaurants—places that hold the collective memory of its people and visitors alike. The effort and attitude behind this project are truly encouraging. From its cover and packaging to its layout and graphics, every detail is so well-crafted, and without it, we would lose a part of Hong Kong’s living history.
I think this sets a great example for Asia’s international cities—whether in Japan, Singapore, or Thailand—where cultural heritage is fading fast. Publications like this preserve our shared urban memories, reminding us that history is not just about the past, but a source of inspiration for the future of design.” — Steve LEUNG, Founder, Steve Leung Design Group Limited

【評審點評 | DFA亞洲最具影響力設計獎 2025 - 大獎系列】

今年DFA亞洲最具影響力設計獎一共評選出10個大獎，立即觀看國際評審對得獎作品的評語！

得獎作品：
香港老舖錄
圓融有限公司 / 香港

評審觀點：
「對我來說，這不只是一本設計精美的書籍，更是五年研究心血的成果。它細膩地記錄了香港老店與餐館的歷史、生活方式和文化——那些屬於香港人、亦屬於旅客的集體記憶。整個項目的態度與付出，實在令人敬佩。從封面、包裝、版面和圖像設計，每個細節皆極為出色。若沒有這本書，我們或許就會失去一部分香港的活歷史。
不論是日本、新加坡或泰國，亞洲國際城市的文化遺產均正快速消逝——這書絕對扮演了一個示範作用。在文化遺產迅速消逝的時代，這類出版物能保存我們共同的城市記憶，提醒大家歷史不僅屬於過去，更是啟發未來設計與創意的重要泉源。」 — 梁志天, 梁志天設計集團有限公司創始人
