Everything designer and on trend in this Hong Kong sea view high-rise apartment, from mismatched dining chairs to a Le Corbusier lamp
- A creative couple chose a neutral colour scheme for their sea-view high-rise flat in Hong Kong to create the right backdrop for designer furniture and lighting
- Eames, Fritz Hansen, Nils Holger Moormann and Moustache dining chairs, a wall lamp inspired by Le Corbusier, and Ligne Roset sofa look right at home
Personalising a new high-rise apartment, without going over the top, wasn’t too much of a stretch for designer Adrian Hung.
“My clients didn’t need to change the spatial arrangement much,” he says.
They wanted a simple black-and-white scheme, incorporating shades of grey, which was relatively easy to combine with the developer’s neutral fit-out. It also provided a clean, uncluttered backdrop to the designer furniture and lighting the clients love, making their special pieces pop.
Asai Au, a creative director in the fashion industry, and Mo Yeung, a hair specialist, bought the 768 sq ft, now one-bedroom Tseung Kwan O flat for both the location and its 270-degree sea views towards Sai Kung. The couple and their poodle, Lim Lim, moved in last September after Hung, founder of WonderWonder, had completed a stylish, designer-led makeover.
“As our clients work in fashion and beauty, they like the look of trendy furnishings with an interesting history,” he says. “Their brief was to try to pick designer collections, and we looked mainly for pieces from the same design period, with an iconic background, in black.”
All the furniture is 100 per cent authentic – no copied versions, he adds.
