本次展覽以「和樂吉祥」為題，寓意「身心皆和樂，進而迎來福運與圓滿」。每一幅展出作品都凝聚了各藝術家最真摯的情感與熱愛，期盼能在創作者與觀者之間架起一座心靈相通的橋樑，為大家帶來情感的共鳴與溫暖的慰藉。

Presented by "Samwon Art Studio", a traditional Korean painting studio based in Jeonju, this exhibition showcases up to 30 pieces of Minhwa (traditional folk paintings) masterfully crafted by the studio's members.
The title of the exhibition, “Harmony, Joy and Good Fortune” conveys the essence of "nurturing inner peace and joy to welcome a life of blessings and fulfillment."

MUMI 「無味 」- EASTERN EDITION X NUOVO by Teo Yang

NUOVO, Hong Kong’s leading design gallery, is pleased to present MUMI 「無味」— EASTERN EDITION X NUOVO by Teo Yang, opening on 19 November 2026 at its flagship gallery in Central. The exhibition brings together NUOVO and Seoul-based contemporary furniture brand Eastern Edition to explore the subtle and evocative Korean aesthetic philosophy of MUMI (無味), alongside a special collaboration with Hong Kong fashion label PONDER.ER.

Rooted in deliberate subtraction, MUMI reveals essential beauty through restraint, materiality, proportion, and the interplay of light and shadow. Inspired by Dosan Seodang, the study of Joseon-era philosopher Toegye Yi Hwang, the exhibition transforms the space into a contemplative retreat.

Led by internationally celebrated designer Teo Yang, Eastern Edition’s furniture and Korean craft are presented in dialogue with NUOVO’s architectural setting, inviting the design community and collectors to experience a space defined by simplicity, balance, and the quiet beauty of everyday rituals.

香港領先的設計藝廊 NUOVO 隆重呈獻 MUMI「無味」— EASTERN EDITION X NUOVO by Teo Yang，展覽將於 2026 年 11 月 19 日在 NUOVO 中環旗艦藝廊揭幕。是次展覽匯聚 NUOVO 與首爾當代家具品牌 EASTERN EDITION，共同探索韓國美學哲學 MUMI（無味）細膩而深遠的意境，並呈獻與香港時裝品牌 PONDER.ER 的特別合作。

MUMI 源於刻意減法的美學理念，透過克制、材質、比例，以及光影的交織，呈現事物最本質的美。展覽空間以朝鮮時代哲學家退溪李滉的書齋 陶山書堂 為靈感，將 空間轉化為一處沉靜內斂的精神居所。

由國際知名設計師 Teo Yang 領導的 EASTERN EDITION，透過家具作品與韓國工藝，與 NUOVO 的建築空間展開對話，邀請設計界人士及收藏家置身其中，感受簡約、平衡，以及日常儀式中靜謐而細膩的美。
