Big City Shop proudly presents local designer Stanley Kwok, a professional who, driven by a keen sensitivity to cold environments, dedicated years to developing a smart knit heat-conductive series. His standout creation, the WarmerShoulder, alleviates rheumatism and joint pain while previously representing Hong Kong at an international exhibition in Japan, showcasing local design excellence. Stanley shares that his inspiration stemmed from personal discomfort in humid weather, prompting the creation of a patented fabric-heating technology.
In an in-depth discussion, Stanley highlights the challenge of integrating smart technology into traditional knitting while maintaining comfort and heating efficiency. The WarmerShoulder delivers targeted shoulder warmth with silver-coated yarns, activating heat in 30 seconds via a USB power bank, with temperature control via a smartphone app. Its active heating promotes blood circulation, surpassing the passive insulation of conventional products, particularly benefiting those with prolonged sitting discomfort.
The Japan exhibition experience enriched Stanley’s professional perspective through global designer interactions.
