ANDRÉ FU LIVING - LUXURY GIFT IDEAS
The latest lighting, textiles and home accessories from André Fu Living are the perfect luxurious gifts for the home this holiday season
André Fu Living brings a sense of relaxed luxury to the home this holiday season with his new collections of lighting, textiles and home accessories. Fu's new collection, Art Deco Garden, which debuted globally this September in Milan, draws on the interior designer's inspirations from his love for the Art Deco movement and his personal passion for cultivated Zen gardens in Kyoto, André Fu reveals a synergy between the two visually contrasting concepts in his beautiful new range - all of which are available online via the website for last minute gift ideas for design lovers.
"My personal design approach is not just about combining styles together; rather, it rests on an ability to navigate different cultures and reflect contemporary culture based on the inherent qualities of beauty itself, as opposed to just based on any one style. We are thrilled to share the results of our exploration into the world of ‘Art Deco Garden’ through a selection of delicately crafted objects and homeware for the upcoming collection." says André Fu.
His new portable LED lighting range is a particular highlight of the new collection. The full series of these new lights were shown for the first time in his brand new boutique store in Hong Kong, which opened just last month. The lights make a perfect gift to add some sparkle to the home this holiday season.
The holidays are a time for family and friends to get together and the new Snow Globe lamps from my latest André Fu Living collection will add a touch of festive sparkle to the home. A nice touch is that they 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 and al fresco dining, or for use as a reading lamp. - André Fu
Art Deco Garden also features beautiful new porcelain tableware that make great gifts for those who like to entertain. The new tableware conveys the essence of the collection theme through a range of hand-painted patterns in a palette of almond taupe and mink brown, embellished with a dash of gold gilding.
About the brand André Fu Living
André Fu Living [AFL] marks architect André Fu foray into a world of lifestyle offering that goes 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.
