the zipte link system installation by michael young

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.
