R&C Gallery is run­ning a photo exhi­bi­tion in their newly opened R&C Design Library.

Exhibiting the work of the city’s as well as the region’s promis­ing pho­tog­ra­phers, Our Life: People · Environment · Objects opened last Saturday Sept 18, 2010 and will run till the end of October 2010.

“We are thrilled to have this new space for the cre­ative com­mu­nity here” said Corey, the pro­pri­etor of R&C Design Library. Like the name sug­gested, this excit­ing new venue is a cre­ative liv­ing space that dou­bles as the design stu­dio office that he also runs. “We hope that our play­ground can become other’s cre­ative inspi­ra­tion too” fol­lowed Zen, the designer/manager-in-charge of the gallery and the exhibition.

Out of curios­ity, I decided to drop in on my walk back to my flat one fine evening last August. Situated at the mod­er­ately quiet & green neigh­bor­hood, the place was an instant love to the curious-minded like me. Sporting a neo-classique & indus­trial inte­rior; vin­tage couches, arm chairs and count­less desk lamps of dif­fer­ent eras were scat­tered around the 100 m² to add a touch of old-school sen­ti­ment to the youth­ful idea-inspiring work-pad. The visit that night lead me to a spec­ta­cle of high spir­ited con­ver­sa­tion, friend­ship & coffee.

5-min tram ride from the busy Causeway Bay & Quarry Bay dis­tricts, R&C is a breath of fresh air to the stereo­typ­i­cally fast-paced souls of this heav­ily com­mer­cial­ized soci­ety. If you are vis­it­ing, R&C is a great hang-out after a day’s shop­ping trip; if you live in HK, they open 4–8pm daily for freshly brewed cof­fee or even just a peak into their grow­ing col­lec­tion of books, mag­a­zines & goodies.
