Published by the Cultural Affairs Bureau and produced by 100 Plus Cultural Creative Development Ltd., the ninth edition of C2 Magazine will be launched on 7 September. The September issue focuses on the design industry in Macao, as experts are invited to discuss the joys and frustrations of working in the design industry. “Feature” invites the founder of local design brand Hylé Design Macau, Siu Kai Tong, to share his experience in starting a business in a city with high rental costs.
