Nicolas Cheng and Michael Leung of Studio Leung have created Printable Offerings, a collection of images of everyday items such as iPhones, Bic biros and Tempo pocket tissues that can be downloaded, printed and assembled into 3D models for use at Chinese festivals.

It is a Chinese tradition to burn replicas of useful items as gifts for the dead at festivals such as Qingming – which takes place on 5 April this year – and the Hungry Ghost festival in August.

Printable Offerings – 印祭品 in Chinese – are more environmentally friendly versions of the offerings traditionally bought in Chinese shops and supermarkets, since these are often printed on metallic or plastic material.

Printable Offerings come with instructions to “print on recycled paper, assemble with solvent-free glue and burn responsibly”.

Studio Leung tell us: “A selection of gifts are ready to be downloaded as PDF files, assembled and offered to loved ones who have passed away. The selection ranges from the aspirational iPhone to quintessentially Hong Kong objects such as Tempo pocket tissues and the Octopus travel card.”

“We have developed the first collection of gifts for the Qingming Festival next month, and will be doing a second collection for the Hungry Ghost Festival in August.”
