Raw Edges

Sculptural furnishings handcrafted from hardwoods set the tone for a creative homeowner’s organic yet industrial look

Often, the design process starts with an initial concept, then moves onto mood boards before beginning renovations and finally choosing all the right furnishings to fill the new and improved space. In this Pok Fu Lam apartment, however, the interiors were conceived around the owner’s artful furnishings first.

“The homeowner met Taiwanese artist Hsu Wei-bin; they collaborated on the look of the apartment together,” says PplusP Designers founder Wesley Liu, who was invited to see the artist’s collection and visit his home in Taiwan to further understand its look and feel. “I worked with Hsu on the walls and ceiling design, the layout, the feeling… He makes furniture that’s of a certain style, and I designed an interior that fits his works.”
