A million miles from anywhere and everywhere. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Of course the minute we started talking about it I had already mentally decorated this hypothetical space in my head. I instantly started thinking I wanted to use green. Its my favorite colour, and we don't get a lot of it in Hong Kong, so I would love to be able to surround myself with it.</span><br />

What was meant to be a catch up with a friend and ex-colleague over lunch turned into a 4hr session. Not a bad way to spend a Friday afternoon I'd say. Working for oneself has perks sometimes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Anyway, I think I may have found my new favorite restaurant in Hong Kong. It seems chef <a href="http://www.jasonatherton.co.uk/">Jason Atherton</a> can do no wrong in this city, after the successful openings of <a href="http://22ships.hk/">22 Ships</a> and <a href="http://www.hamandsherry.hk/nowopen/">Ham & Sherry</a>. Londoners will know him from Pollen Street Social, Berner's Tavern and several other establishments.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The restaurant is located in one of the out buildings in <a href="http://www.pmq.org.hk/">PMQ</a> (the former Police Married Quarters) which is one of very few historical restoration projects in Hong Kong. The interiors are by Beijing-based duo Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu of <a href="http://en.neriandhu.com/">Neri & Hu</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The designers have used a combination of smoked oak flooring and cabinetry, brass accents, black mirror and accents of green (which sounds like a disastrous combination) brilliantly to create something that's warm, inviting and equally unpretentious. The custom light fixtures were beautiful, and the shade of green on the ceiling has me dreaming of re-painting our apartment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Big thumbs up from me!</span><br />

I'm sure the food is great, but I really want to go to check out the stunning interiors. Created by Monaco based design duo <a href="http://www.humbertpoyet.com/index.html">Emil Humbert <span class="color">+</span> Christophe Poyet</a> - who were the ones behind the Beef Bar which I blogged about two years ago <a href="http://studioannetta.blogspot.hk/2012/06/im-definitely-someone-that-loves-their.html"><i>here</i></a> - I think these two are definitely ones to watch. I'm loving the mix of brass, black & white and that green. Absolutely stunning.</span></span><br />

I saw this lovely little invention on <a href="http://estmagazine.com.au/simplify-bathroom-set-groupwork/?utm_source=Est+Magazine&utm_campaign=b9749823eb-The_Mini_Issue_13_6_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f6bf388e10-b9749823eb-&ct=t%28The_Mini_Issue_13_6_2014%29">Est</a> this morning. The beautiful 'simply bathroom set' was designed by fellow Melbournians <a href="http://www.groupworkstudio.com/">Groupwork</a> and was exhibited at Milan this year. What a gorgeous and versatile way to organise and personalise your bathroom! I'm completely smitten!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm still getting through the glut that is my inbox, but in the meantime I thought I'd share some pics that I found of the newly renovated <a href="http://www.hotelvernet-paris.com/">Hôtel Vernet</a> in Paris by one of my favorite French designers, <a href="http://www.champsaur.com/en/">François Champsaur</a>. Love it. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">For more images of the rest of the hotel (this is just the restaurant) check out <a href="http://www.yatzer.com/hotel-vernet-paris-francois-champsaur">Yatzer</a>...</span><br />

I especially loved the feature on the LA home by designer <a href="http://danielcuevasdesigner.com/">Daniel Cuevas</a>. So nice to see more work from such a talented designer. I wrote about a project he worked on with designer Carol Katleman in London a while back <a href="http://studioannetta.blogspot.hk/2010/08/la-style-in-london.html"><i>here</i></a>.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I particularly loved this library....I dream about having a space like this one day...</span><br />

I really love the combination of the classic bones of the house - and while I'm not normally one for white walls, I think they really work here - with the mix of early 20th Century furnishings and the semi-industrial elements.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The cabinet on the right of the first image looks suspicioulsy like a Jean-Michel Frank design..and if its an original I'm totally jealous. Otherwise, it looks great in this room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Also loving the long low look of the living room...the corner bookshelf is genius.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And the brass fixtures in the bathroom....to die for!</span><br />

Today though, we finally have blue skies above. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Speaking of London, and blue, I am very happy to be able to share with you some pics of a recently completed project by the talented team at London-based <a href="http://www.centraldesignstudio.com/">Central Design Studio</a>. 'Waterfront Kitchen' is a casual dining space in The Hilton Vienna, on the banks of the Danube.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The palette consists of limed oak, blackened steel, riven slate which is accented with a rich cobalt blue. All the furniture was designed and custom made for the space, including the coloured glass fixtures by <a href="http://www.isabel-hamm-licht.de/english/home.html">Isabel Hamm</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The team worked hand in hand with graphic designer Jon Powell to create all the branded material for the restaurant, ensuring that the restaurant has a consistent feel throughout. A very important part of designing restaurants, for sure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well, I for one don't mind being transported here for the afternoon - even if it is just via photos. Enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hello everyone! Another exciting update about what I've been busy working away on....the magazine I mentioned just before Xmas is going full steam ahead...we have distribution set up in many countries now...just waiting on a few last minute things to come together. We are printing our inaugural issue in early April, so it should hit the news stands later that month.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You'll notice a page at the top of the blog now that links to the website (still under construction), and we ave a facebook page you can like to stay informed of news and other exciting updates (https://www.facebook.com/DesignAnthologyMag). We're also on twitter (@damag_asia).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hopefully I'll have more news again soon! </span><br />
