ANDRÉ FU LIVING LIGHTING SELECTIONS
André Fu Living’s lighting designs bring a sense of warmth and comfort to the home
With the clocks going an hour back this weekend, the lifestyle brand’s luminous fixtures will keep the dark evenings radiating with a bright ambiance. The André Fu Living portable LED lighting range is a particular highlight in several of the designer’s collections.
A nice touch is that the LED lights are wirelessly charged, so fully portable, and can be moved from one place to the next without trailing wires everywhere. With the advancement of LED technology, lamps like these provide more flexibility – be it a spark of light for indoor dining, or for use as a reading lamp. - André Fu
With an eclectic variety of influences, including the poetic silhouette of the ivory camellia flower, the whimsical story of ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ the spiraling movement of a windmill, and the profile of a classic carousel, the portable lighting designs add a vibrance to chilly autumnal evenings.
About the brand André Fu Living
André Fu Living [AFL] marks architect André Fu's foray into a world of lifestyle offerings that go beyond his spatial creations.
‘It is not about imposing a lifestyle, it is a personal expression of living,’ says Fu.
The brand seeks to celebrate the notion of lifestyle with a multi-category collection, from tableware, bed linens to furniture and decorative lighting. The collection celebrates Fu’s personal life and taps into his exploration of a world that embraces his design language of relaxed luxury.
The branding itself has adopted a calligraphic approach with an intent to evoke handcrafted values with a nod to Asian typography scripts. The ‘A’ ‘F’ ‘L’ are combined into a rotationally symmetrical monogram, which allows products to be subtly branded in the manner of a jeweller’s hallmark.
About André Fu
‘To me, true luxury is in the experience and not just the aesthetics.’
Known for his modernist sensibilities and distinctive ability to bring a calm simplicity to interior spaces, architect André Fu has been the influence behind some of the world’s most luxurious hotels and restaurants.
Fu became known overnight when he first redefined notions of hospitality with his design of the world-renowned Upper House hotel in Hong Kong. His seemingly effortless creations range from a unique furniture collaboration with Louis Vuitton’s Objets Nomades collection to contemporary art galleries in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Shanghai, and major hotels and restaurants around the world for leading brands including Villa La Coste in Provence, The Berkeley London, St Regis Hong Kong, Waldorf Astoria Bangkok, as well as the newly opened Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto.
Fu’s work has won increasing recognition with numerous awards. In 2016, he was named Designer of the Year for Maison & Objet Asia, and was honoured in Wallpaper*s list of ‘Top 20 Interior Designers’. In 2019, Elle Décor China has named André as “Interior Designer of The Year”.
With the establishment of André Fu Living, his vision seeks to translate the brand into different areas of lifestyle – a vision to embrace a genuine expression of ‘lifestyle from within’.
