DESIGN PROFILE - joyce wang
If she hadn’t become an interior designer, Joyce Wang thinks she would probably have gone into film. ‘I’ve always been jealous of how a good film can inspire people to talk about it afterwards – take Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, which has so much layering and hidden clues,’ she says. ‘My hope with our interiors is that people will want to re-experience them, to get a bit more out of them on each visit.’
