Antonio Zaninovic

It might be that I'm flying off to South Africa tomorrow night, or it just might that Antonio Zaninovic Architects work is amazing....either way, I am loving the modernity and the openness...and the amazing views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic don't hurt either.

I won't be posting while I'm gone, but am hoping to have some pretty exciting news to share with you all once I return.

So, until then, we wish you all a very merry festive season, and all the best for 2014. I have a good feeling about next year...

Zara Home HK

Finally, the famous Spanish retailer has brought their home collection to Hong Kong! I checked it out yesterday, and I love that we now have a range of reasonably priced bed linen, table linen and bathware. The Zara Home store is in Harbour City and also carries a seasonal range of small homewares items and decorative objet.

Hong Kong INDESIGN

The event for the design community that originated in Australia is now in Hong Kong. Today is the first INDESIGN event in our fair city, so head over to their website and check out the details for all the day's events!

FBC

I am very excited to be able to share these images with you this morning...the new furniture collection from FBC London. The range is designed by FBC founder, interior designer Fiona Barratt-Campbell, and produced by craftsmen in the North of England. The range of finishes is really quite something (check out the hand applied chipped oak on the City Chest, and the mix of bronze, limestone and oak on the Isabella cabinet!) The range is quite extensive, here are just a few of my quick picks. You can head on over to their website for the rest of the collection and more information.

Oenone ware sale!

Looking to get some Christmas shopping out of the way early this year? Then head down to these Oenone ware sales. This lovely lady is a friend of a friend and has some gorgeous pieces that she imports from England.

New retail in HK

Its been an exiting week for new store openings in Hong Kong this week....

First off we have Tang Tang Tang Tang, by local legend David Tang. A mix of clothing and homewares, new and antique. Located in the ground floor of the lovely old building where the Pawn is, its so nice to see someone has finally done something with that empty space. Unfortunately I was a little underwhelmed by the stock, and how the space had been designed, especially considering the $ and clout that Tang has. Still, some nice items in there, and probably still worth a visit.

amelie & tulips officially opened on Wednesday in the uber cool POHO neighbourhood. A mix of art, vintage furniture and new scandinavian designs, in a very cool space. Definitely worth a look. And you can have a wander around this ever changing area at the same time. There are plenty of cute places to grab a bite to eat or a good coffee.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!
