激活，是场域与能量的共振作用。通过设计，能量得以凝聚、归整、形成有序运作，而当能量达到一定之后，便促成了场域之间的激活。在漫长的蛰伏之后，行业积蓄的力量正在逐步复苏，更亟需外力激活，使力量转化，发挥更大的作用。

“激活”不仅代表了对石材潜能的挖掘和展现，也是对观者的一种邀请和启示。通过观者的观察、互动和思考，激活更多的创新思维，激发人们对于石材的全新认识和理解。同时，借助此次展览激活设计与石材行业的创新力量，为行业的未来发展带来更多的可能性。

2024年人居空间设计展，由设计行业领袖梁志天担任主策展人，联合业内设计精英：陈德坚、唐忠汉、何宗宪、谢辉、刘荣禄、黄小影、关天颀、赵睿、尼克共同策展，通过设计的激活，打破石材与万物的界限，传递新的感知。

 

创新的设计是激活石材的关键，设计可以充分挖掘石材的特点，将其运用于不同领域中，成就新的可能。如何在人居设计中激活石材，提升石材的价值和吸引力，成为了当下行业关注的重要话题。

作为设计师和石材品牌，他们对于激活石材，有着哪些设计实践及创新思考？对于未来的石材应用趋势又有哪些观点？

2024年，人居空间发展论坛以“石材品牌与人居设计的共生实践”为主题，特邀策展设计师与石材行业品牌代表共同对话，通过设计师和石材品牌的讨论及对话，提供一个交流的平台，共同探索如何在人居空间中激活石材，赋予石材新的活力，创造理想人居环境。

 

厦门人居设计生活节·产业游学是针对设计师群体的特性与需求，为设计师群体量身定做的石材产业游学之旅。通过设计师的实地考察和亲身体验，从石材原料到石材应用输出，深度地了解石材行业，力图通过石材的探秘解构，满足设计师用材选材需求，同时搭建品牌与设计师的沟通渠道，实现双方共赢。

It is the synergy of space and energy that form activation. Through design, energy is integrated to be an orderly operation. When reaching a certain level, it will activate the space. Likewise, the industry is recovering after years and it is urgent to activate the industry with external forces to play a greater role.

To activate the industry is not only to explore the potential of stone, but also an invitation and inspiration to audience. By observing, interacting and thinking, the audience will gain understanding of the stone from different perspectives. As a major section of XHDLF, Habitat Interior Design Exhibition will present more insightful design projects in 2024 edition.

The chief curator of Habitat Interior Design Exhibition 2024 is Steve Leung, collaborating with leading figures in interior design sector including Kinney Chan, TT. Tang, Joey Ho, Louis Liou, Xie Hui, Sunshine Wong, Sky Guan, Zhao Rui and Nick. The exhibition is aiming to break the boundary of stone and express new perception.

 

Innovative design is the key to activate the stone in that it fully tap into the characteristics of natural stone and apply it in different fields. It has become an important topic that how to activate stone in residential design and enhance the value and attractiveness of stone.

Designers and stone brands will be invited to the forum to share their experiences and innovative ideas about activating stone, as well as their opinions on the trend of stone application.

In 2024, the topic of Development Forum of Habitat Interior Design is “The Symbiotic Practice of Stone Brand and Habitat Design”. Curators of the exhibition are specially invited as keynote speakers and conduct dialogues with representatives from stone brands to jointly search for answers of activating stone in living spaces, thereby create an ideal habitat environment.

 

The study tour of XHDLF is customized for designers to meet their needs. Through the field trip to stone companies and processing center in person, designers are able to get a comprehensive and deep understanding of the stone industry from stone raw blocks, processing to finished product. While meeting the needs of designers for material selection, it also helps the stone companies to open up more opportunities and achieve a win-win result for both sides.

Since 2021, the study tour has organized over 600 designers from around the country to visit nearly 30 stone companies. It helps designers in material selection for their design projects by introducing the varied varieties, characteristics, textures, mining, processing and transporting of stone.
