劉小康將于六月中在精藝軒畫廊上演他的椅子戲第二回，這是他兩年前演出的延續(xù)篇。  

把精心設(shè)計的椅子發(fā)展為實用品，一直以來是劉小康的避世方法，每天他一方面要督導(dǎo)他與靳棣強(qiáng)合作的設(shè)計公司，另一方面又有眾多的公職承擔(dān)，在忙里偷閑時，他則會攪攪自己的椅子戲。

他選用椅子來消閑，原因只有一個：椅是我們?nèi)粘２豢苫蛉钡挠镁撸c人們有直接連系；他把椅與人們連系上，同時亦把椅與椅連在一起。

劉小康現(xiàn)時是香港設(shè)計中心的董事局主席。在這次展覽中，部份展品的三份之一收益，將撥捐香港設(shè)計中心作設(shè)計推廣之用。

椅子戲第二回的展品當(dāng)然包括椅，與椅有關(guān)的設(shè)計品、及限量版而可供日常使用的椅子。劉小康與香港設(shè)計中心合作的 [Creation 9707] 計劃的設(shè)計項目，亦將會在六月廿二日開始同場展出。

Freeman Lau plays it out again with chairs in his up-coming exhibition - Chairplay II - at Art Beatus Gallery in mid June. The exhibition, this time, is a continuation of his creative ideas that was put on display two years ago.   

Turning ingenious designs into liveable art forms has become an escape for Lau from his hectic daily agenda, overseeing a successful design business as well as performing various public duties.

He says that his conceptual manipulation of chairs starts for one simple reason: chairs are naturally connected to people, as they are essential parts of our daily life. He hopes to connect chairs to people and, at the same time, connect chairs to themselves.

Lau is a leading commercial designer in Hong Kong and the Chairman of the Board of

Directors of the Hong Kong Design Centre.

In this exhibition, Lau will show creative works composed of chairs, models of his conceptual designs and fully functional limited-edition chairs. Some of the exhibits have already been shown in the Tokyo International Art Fair and Taipei International Art Fair.

One third of the sale proceeds from selected exhibition items will be donated to the Hong Kong Design Centre for supporting the promotion of Hong Kong design.
