As Art Director of Artifort in the 1960s to mid 1970s, Kho Liang Ie played a defining role in shaping the DNA of Artifort. His vision of timeless, human-centred design, combining clarity, warmth and functionality, still resonates strongly within contemporary design today. The enduring relevance of Kho Liang Ie’s work is beautifully explored in the recent documentary “Kho Liang Ie – Ontwerper van zijn tijd”, directed by Lex Reitsma for AVROTROS Close Up. In the documentary, his son, Eng Bo Kho, retraces his father’s legacy and examines the lasting impact of his work on contemporary design. Through personal stories and archival material, the documentary offers a compelling portrait of a visionary whose ideas remain remarkably relevant in today's design landscape. The documentary for AVROTROS Close Up is available to watch via NPO Start and 2DOC: https://lnkd.in/eVZv8qam
