Loving today...
....this image from a recent residential project by one of my favorite Spanish designers, Lorenzo Castillo. The artwork placement is just perfection, and I'm loving those bright pops of colour.

Sketch
I'm heading to London for 5 days in September and, as usual, all I can think about is all the great looking restaurants that have opened since I was last there.
The Gallery at Sketch, a collaboration between restaurateur Mourad Mazouzand and celebrated chef Pierre Gagnaire, with interiors by India Mahdavi and art by Scottish artist David Shrigley...that's a combination that's hard to resist. I am loving those zig-zag floors...and actually the combination of pink and brass is not too shabby either. Whould've thought! This one is definitely on the list...

daydream believer...
Lately my husband and I have been discussing (read fantasizing) about buying a house in Tasmania...the apple isle, the southern most tip of Australia. A million miles from anywhere and everywhere.
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.

Aberdeen Street Social
Yesterday I finally had lunch at Aberdeen Street Social. 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.
Anyway, I think I may have found my new favorite restaurant in Hong Kong. It seems chef Jason Atherton can do no wrong in this city, after the successful openings of 22 Ships and Ham & Sherry. Londoners will know him from Pollen Street Social, Berner's Tavern and several other establishments.
The restaurant is located in one of the out buildings in PMQ (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 Neri & Hu.
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.
Big thumbs up from me!

Song Qi
I feel a trip to Monaco coming on....just to visit the spectacular new restaurant 'Song Qi' by Hong Kong-born London-based Alan Yau (the man also behind Wagamama and Hakkasan). 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 Emil Humbert + Christophe Poyet - who were the ones behind the Beef Bar which I blogged about two years ago here - I think these two are definitely ones to watch. I'm loving the mix of brass, black & white and that green. Absolutely stunning.

Bathwares
Good morning folks! I saw this lovely little invention on Est this morning. The beautiful 'simply bathroom set' was designed by fellow Melbournians Groupwork and was exhibited at Milan this year. What a gorgeous and versatile way to organise and personalise your bathroom! I'm completely smitten!

Oliver Gustav
Through my internet travels I just discovered the studio of Oliver Gustav in Copenhagen. To die for! I am especially loving his curated mix of art, design, furniture and lighting. He clearly has a very honed eye. I'm particularly in love with the last 2 images...very much my colours...very much wanting to redecorate the apartment now...
