Didi Ng Wing Yin (HK/FI) is a Helsinki-based wood artist originally from Hong Kong whose practice bridges sculpture, furniture, and craft. Working by hand, he creates sculptural furniture and artworks distinguished by his innovative carving techniques. His creative process reveals the innate beauty of wood, balancing the material’s essence with the intuitive nature of craftsmanship and conceptual exploration. Guided by his philosophy of Naturalness, Ng allows the wood’s inherent traits to shape each piece, preserving its character while expanding its expressive and structural possibilities.
Ng earned his MA in Interior Architecture (Furniture Design) from Aalto University, Finland. His work has gained wide international recognition, being a finalist for the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize 2025 (Spain), winner of the Rising Star of the Year Award at the Scandinavian Design Awards 2024 (Sweden), and recipient of Dezeen’s Emerging Designer of the Year Award 2024 (UK). He has twice received Finnish arts funding, including the Artist Year Working Grant from the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (2026) and the Finnish Cultural Foundation Working Grant (2024). His Pleats Vase No. 11 is part of the permanent collection of the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg, Sweden, where he also took part in the Residence Röhsska 2025.
Ng has presented two solo exhibitions at GaoShan Gallery (2024) and Lokal Gallery (2025) in Helsinki, Finland. He has exhibited widely across Europe and Asia in Portugal, Italy, France, Belgium, Denmark, Spain Sweden, the United Kingdom, and recently, at Emerge in Singapore and Fine Arts Asia in Hong Kong.
