The concept for the design is from the rich history of Hong Kong as a trading city and its rich cultural traditions in craftsmanship. That combined with its location and the world’s largest natural harbour using the water and aqua as the true inspiration which in its many forms can evolve into colour, light & dark, tone & texture. The designers have taken materials used to create bespoke wall finishes to the negative forms the ripples of waves which gives a unique pallet of forms and colours to which help shape and craft the bars.
Beautiful patterns of nature have inspired Robert Angell to create gaufrage presser patterned wall feature panels that have a beauty that you want to touch. The way in which water give form to soft shapes & their fluid connections to each other in has inspired them to make the connections and create the spaces as vibrant and exciting interiors In which to dine and indulge. The colours of stitched embroidery creates a fluis thread which inter-weaves the details & bring their colours to play too.
The underlying colours are blues but these are textured and played on with accents of bronzes, burnt umbers and golds with flashes of white to contrast the dark. The terraces by contrast are playing on black and white lines of simple and stark contrast of tone on tone simplistic form and classic shape of printing type and text and follows on from the language of the interiors seamlessly to create a series of dynamic dining and bar experiences.
Hong Kong as a location is one of the most exciting cities in the world, the energy is inspiring, and the site location which inspired the interiors with the stunning views & colours during the day. The craftmanship and bespoke element of this project allowed to exceed the Clients expectations which Robert Angell are proud of.
