otherthings by THE SHOPHOUSE is pleased to present Study of Stools: Form, Balance, Utility by Bobby Mills, his third solo exhibition centring on the object that first shaped his practice. Featuring eighteen unique, one-off stools in various kinds of wood, this collection continues Mills’ exploration of utility as sculpture.

Rooted in the vernacular of everyday life, the stool embodies a democratic history of anonymous design—evolving through necessity rather than theory. For Mills, it represents the enduring idea that simplicity can outperform complexity: a platform through which balance, proportion, and form are continuously tested. Influenced by childhood evenings spent beside a fireplace hearth, where an antique milking stool stood as a quiet constant, the works carry both personal memory and collective tradition.

Exhibited in Hong Kong, the stools are made in dialogue with the histories and craftsmanship of shoe-shining stools. Responding intuitively to the swirling grain and character of salvaged wood, no two pieces are alike. Each is hewn, charred, and finished by hand—existing as a uniquely considered work of functional sculpture.

In “reunion”, Alia Sugawara distills the quiet intensity at the heart of Konketsu into a single, meditative gesture. Created with sumi ink she painstakingly hand-ground in Hong Kong—pursuing the deepest, purest black—the work embodies her disciplined devotion to process: “If you mess up, you start over.” The composition unfolds in layered darkness across delicate paper, where fragility and force meet in poised suspension. Within its inky depths, butterfly forms seem to hover between light and shadow, serene yet vigilant, capturing Sugawara’s vision of duality—where beauty and tension, softness and strength, coexist in a state of restless harmony.

otherthings by THE SHOPHOUSE is pleased to present Hornfels, a solo presentation by Japan-based artist Masaya Kushino. Rooted in geological transformation and personal introspection, the exhibition introduces a new body of work that draws from the material and symbolic resonance of stone. The title refers to hornfels—a rock formed through the contact metamorphism of mudstone and sandstone under the intense heat of underground magma—serving as both material reference and metaphor. As sediment is altered by heat and pressure, so too are the elements of one’s life reshaped by emotion, conflict, and experience.

Exhibition period: 21 March to 10 May 2026
Opening reception: Saturday 3 - 6 pm 21 March 2026
Address: 31 Sun Chun Street Tai Hang Hong Kong

Working with washi paper and sumi ink, Sugawara harnesses the natural bleeding and absorption of ink to reflect these tensions. The profound blacks are not mere voids but immersive spaces where life and death converge. The softness of the paper holds both ferocity and grace, mirroring the dualities of the beings she portrays. Through hanging scrolls, folding screens, and mounted works, Konketsu cultivates an atmosphere of contemplative intensity. Viewers are invited to reassess their understanding of beauty—discovering elegance within darkness, strength within fragility, and equilibrium within contradiction.

otherthings by THE SHOPHOUSE is delighted to present Konketsu (混血), the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong by Japan-based artist Alia Sugawara, in collaboration with Designer Jun Takahashi, Art Director Tetsuya Nagato and Ceramist Kenta Anzai. Featuring a newly conceived series of works on paper, the exhibition delves into themes of duality, transformation, and the intricate layers of beauty. Konketsu, meaning “mixed blood,” serves as a poetic lens through which Sugawara explores the interwoven nature of existence itself—how opposing forces, identities, and states of being coexist within all forms of life, culturally, spiritually, and symbolically.

Reflecting the exhibition’s exploration of “form follows function,” Cheung Ho Man’s porcelain vessels are activated through use—receiving and guiding the ritual of coffee. Trained in architecture, Cheung approaches ceramics through structure, balance, and the relationship between hand and object. Each cup and dripper is shaped in response to purpose: rims that direct the pour, bodies that rest steadily in the palm, proportions that stabilize heat and flow. Through use, utility becomes living form.

Guests are invited to experience hand drip coffee brewed with beans roasted by Phoenix Coffee Roastery, engaging the works through heat, aroma, and touch. As water meets ground coffee and passes through porcelain, the vessels reveal their quiet intelligence—how weight, contour, and tilt shape both flavour and gesture. This intimate tasting offers a moment to encounter the works not only as sculptural objects, but as responsive forms completed through participation.

Cheung’s architectural background continues to inform his ceramic language. Architecture instilled in him a sensitivity to structure, proportion, and the relationship between body and space. In clay, these concerns are translated into questions of balance, containment, weight, and touch. A pot must first function: it must hold water, cradle food, meet the hand, withstand heat. From these practical demands, its silhouette begins to emerge.

Across this series, the curves of a vessel may recall the quiet rise of a swell or the shifting contour of a wave—forms shaped by movement, gravity, and time. These references are not literal imitations, but structural inspirations—ways of understanding how rhythm, flow, and accumulated force can inform the making of utilitarian objects. Rather than reproducing nature’s appearance, Cheung considers the internal logic behind such formations, allowing each pot to emerge as if shaped by currents both seen and unseen. The rim may tilt subtly to guide the act of pouring; a body may broaden to stabilize its base; a narrow neck may concentrate flow. Subtle asymmetries arise not as ornament, but as responses to use, gravity, and gesture.

otherthings by THE SHOPHOUSE is pleased to present Form, a solo exhibition by Hong Kong–based ceramist Cheung Ho Man. Borrowing its title from Louis Sullivan’s 19th-century dictum “Form Follows Function,” the exhibition reflects on the proposition that an object’s shape should arise from its purpose. For Cheung, trained originally in architecture, this principle serves not as a constraint but as a generative framework—one that guides his exploration of how vessels can evolve from utility into living form.
