手藝啟蒙
1990年入行,由眼鏡店學徒做起。摸過萬副鏡架才領悟:鼻梁上呢座「微型建築」。
1996年正式成為香港註冊視光師
創立Visual Culture(2008)
叛逆宣言:當全行仲追緊名牌Logo嗰陣,引入世界各地獨立匠牌。櫥窗擺嘅唔止鏡框,係過百年手作傳奇。
空間革命:鋪頭變身舞台水泥牆刻住時間紋路,世界各地手造眼鏡眼鏡框吊喺光影中,靜靜放射眼鏡文化符號。
覺醒:
用香港緯度量度環保未來
2016年12月離開自己創嘅Visual Culture,潛修三年鑽研環保工藝。2019年新品牌「22 DEGREE EYEWEAR」出世北緯22度,香港座標化成身份印記。
綠色哲學實踐物料革命:棄用傳統醋酸纖維,改用可回收EVA物料。鈦金屬框留鍛打痕跡,瑕疵美學訴說自然本真。
再生儀式:客人交舊鏡框等於寄出時間囊,老師傅翻新後重生呢場係對抗即棄文化嘅溫柔抗爭。
空間說書:展廳裏北歐柚木撞粗糙水泥,蔡司Visucore 500驗眼機似銀色飛碟懸空,科技同人達成禪意和解。
修行:
生意與慈悲之間的鋼線舞
雲南眼科醫療義工行動(2014)
與醫療隊入彝苗山區。睇住手術刀劃過白內障患者眼皮嗰刻,頓悟了眼鏡人嘅終極使命,係令「看見嘅權利」人人平等。返港後搞攝影展籌到2500副防UV墨超,築起高原上嘅「護目長城」。
哲學轉化
《易經》「未琢之石」化入設計:粗胚鏡框藏無限可能,似人未被定型嘅靈魂。
佛家「無我」投射產品:22°鏡架廢除靠三角力學馴服重力,戴住好似冇戴咁」先係至高境界。
人生兩次飛躍嘅啟示
(2008)Visual Culture
打破奢侈品霸權,眼鏡鋪升呢做「視覺文化聖殿」證明消費空間都可盛載文明厚度。
(2019) 22°
以香港坐標做原點,用環保料改寫遊戲規則:永續唔係賣點,係對呢片島嶼嘅深情告白。
三十年光陰沉澱成鏡片上嘅微光。傳奇唔係商業王國有幾大,而係將眼鏡當成文化方舟,載住香港基因、環保信仰同慈悲智慧,航向未標記嘅海域嗰度有副等待被創造嘅鏡框,正映射出新時代嘅晨光。
The Awakening of Craft
Entering the industry in 1990 as an optical shop apprentice, he handled tens of thousands of frames before grasping the truth: eyeglasses are "miniature architecture" on the bridge of the nose.
Founding Visual Culture (2008)
A Rebel’s Manifesto: While the industry chased luxury logos, he introduced independent artisanal brands worldwide. His displays weren’t just frames—they were century-old handcrafted legends.
Spatial Revolution: Shops transformed into stages. Concrete walls bore time’s imprints; handcrafted frames hung like art in curated light, silently declaring eyewear as cultural symbols.
The Awakening:
Measuring a Sustainable Future with Hong Kong’s Latitude In 2016, he left his own creation, Visual Culture, embarking on a three-year deep dive into sustainable craftsmanship. In 2019, his new brand **22 DEGREE EYEWEAR** was born—named after 22°N, Hong Kong’s latitude, now an identity etched in design.
Green Philosophy in Action: Replacing traditional cellulose acetate with recyclable EVA; titanium frames retain forging marks, celebrating "imperfection as beauty" to honor nature’s authenticity.
*Rebirth Ritual*: Customers return old glasses like "time capsules." Master artisans refurbish them—a quiet rebellion against disposable culture.
*Narrative Space*: Showrooms blend Nordic teak with raw concrete. Zeiss Visucore 500 eye-testers hover like silver UFOs, achieving Zen harmony between tech and humanity.
The Spiritual Journey:
Walking the Tightrope Between Commerce and Compassion
Yunnan Optical Medical Mission (2014): Joining medical teams in Yi and Miao mountain villages. Witnessing a scalpel lift cataract blindness, he realized an optician’s ultimate purpose: equalizing "the right to see." Back in Hong Kong, a photography exhibition funded 2,500 UV-blocking sunglasses, building a "Great Wall of Eye Protection" on the plateau.
Philosophical Transformation
*The Book of Changes*: "Unpolished jade" inspires designs—raw frames hold infinite potential, like the uncharted human soul.
*Buddhist "Selflessness"*: 22° frames defy gravity through triangulated mechanics. "Wearing them feels like wearing nothing" becomes the highest ideal.
Revelations from Two Leaps
(2008) Visual Culture: Shattered luxury monopolies, elevating shops into "sanctuaries of visual culture"—proof that commerce can carry civilization’s depth.
(2019) 22°:
With Hong Kong’s coordinates as origin, it rewrote rules with sustainable materials: "Sustainability isn’t a selling point—it’s a love letter to this island."
Three decades of dedication crystallize into glimmers on lenses. Legacy isn’t the scale of an empire, but treating eyewear as an **ark of culture**—carrying Hong Kong’s DNA, eco-faith, and compassionate wisdom toward uncharted seas. There, a yet-unmade frame waits, reflecting the dawn of a new era.
