# Space-Saving Installations Project P by Kahing Design Examines the Art of Folding By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-08-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kahing-design References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/kahing-design-project-p-pvc-pipe-micro-structures-china-08-29-2014/) & [kahing.org](http://kahing.org/) Kahing Design has come up with an installation that experiments with [space saving solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-housing-prototype). According to DesignBoom, the work is "focused on three main concepts: portable, plastic, and pipe." Using these materials, the team have come up with a number of different designs that all demonstrate how space can be saved through [various forms of construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sfso-1). The installation was done in Hong Kong, a place where space can be limited at times and people are looking for ways to make the most of cramped living areas. Through various means of [folding and experimenting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape) with the pipe materials, people can have an efficient method of storing items without constantly keeping them out of site or stuffing them into an overrun closet. Project P examines this challenge and more through the efforts of Kahing Design.
