由philip lau 及 grace kwok 於2003 年創立。致力創作瑣碎無聊的東西。表面和藹可親,平易近人,實際討厭與世界妥協。


"cowrice" was founded by Philip Lau and Grace Kwok in 2003. Their works are inspired by the smallest, barely noticed moments in life, contradictions between a peaceful and pleasant personality, and the irritations of modern society.Elegantly combining photography, words, illustrations and hand-made creations, ‘cowrice’ expresses their feelings about a simple but sensitive life.

'cowrice' was partnership with 'hoiming' starting Fungus Workshop at Central, Hong Kong, in 2010. Fungus Workshop is passionate about expressing individual creativity, and uses this workshop to share their leatherwork and attitude towards life with the world. www.fungusworkshop.net

'cowrice' started 'cowrice shop' online at www.cowrice.com and etsy in 2011. It is all about handmade, simple and lifestyle. They made things they need, they made things they like, they made things for their daughter. That is what 'cowrice shop' are selling.
