It's my honor to be elected as the new chairman of HKIDA.

Over the past years the association has established strong relationships with the government, designers, peer organizations, industry partners & stakeholders in promoting interior design excellence and professionalism in Hong Kong. In the years to come we are committed to further develop the association with 5 identified core tasks which include Education, Research, Promoting Design Excellence, Members Networking and International & PRC Participations.

The objective of setting up these core tasks was to further enhance the role of the association and better serve the needs of practitioners, students, industry partners and the general public.

Apart from this, we are aiming at conducting a comprehensive 3E industry Survey to collect your final views on the RIDA project and participating in an ambitious global policy initiative conducted by the International Federation of Interior Architects / Designers (IFI) called “Design Futures: Interiors Identity” which comprises regional think tanks culminating in a symposium and the publication of a report repositioning the interiors discipline on the world stage.

Last but not least, on behalf of the whole HKIDA executive committee team, I would like to express our deepest gratitude to all organizations and individuals including each of you that continuously support the association's development.

Together we shall scale new heights and strengthen Hong Kong's reputation as a centre of interior design excellence.

Horace Pan

Chairman
Hong Kong Interior Design Association
