Twenty architects and designers showcased designs they made at home during lockdown for the Design Trust's Critically Homemade exhibition in a live talk moderated by Aric Chen and Design Trust co-founder Marisa Yiu.

Over 130 architects and designers including Michael Young and People's Architecture Office submitted prototypes, which are on show at an exhibition at Soho House in Hong Kong until 4 October.
