Niko Leung is a Hong Kong-based product designer working in the realm of object, material research, installation and spatial design. Niko holds a bachelor’s degree in design (Cum Laude) from Design Academy Eindhoven, the Netherlands. She has taught visual art, spatial design and design and applied technology at Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity in Hong Kong. Niko had been a resident artist in Jingdezhen (China), Fiskars (Finland), Den Bosch (Netherlands) and Arita (Japan). She was awarded DFA Young Design Talent Award in 2017 to undertake a work placement at Studiomake Architects in Thailand.

Niko had also been a craftsperson at Dutch ceramics manufacturing company Royal Tichelaar Makkum. Having studied and worked in the Netherlands for 8 years, these experiences inspired her to develop a keen interest in re-examining materials and the way we make use of them. Niko founded TMML STUDIO in 2020, and co-created a project “Hong Kong Soil” with Loky Leung in 2021, as an initiative to research and advocate purposeful reuse of discarded soil from construction sites.
