New products from our suppliers

There's nothing better than some new products....

First up fabulous serving trays from Dutch Deluxes...we love a great tray and this is no exception!





They come in 9 different colours and 5 shapes/sizes: 2 round and 3 rectangular.   

I love them and the colours are amazing.  Definitely shipping some of these in soon.   

Opinion Ciatti have released their new catalogue.   Sadly they are no longer making the raw steel version of their shelves.  


It's a pity, I really loved this finish but I think they are having trouble making the finish consistent.   

I'm pretty thrilled with the Moor rug from &tradition


Made of wool mixed with viscose (for that velvety feel) they are really gorgeous.   They add a nice block of solid colour to a space.   

The Sherpa weave rug from Armadillo is really similar to the Sierra rug in terms of colour.   They have introduced a dark charcoal in both these colours but also have the chalk and pumice.   The silt colour has been discontinued.    


You can see here the weave is tighter than the Sierra though it still has that textural feel and is similarly warm and comfy to walk on.    

We haven't have had the time to put everything new on the website, so if there is anything that tickles your fancy please send us an email.

New Central Police Station, Hong Kong

It's a couple of years late but the edges of the New Central Police Station are finally being unveiled.  

We're excited because it's designed by one of our favourite architects- Herzog and De Meuron.   


Here it is, rising above Arbuthnot Road. 

The original site housed a prison, police station and a Magistrates' Court.  It is now being turned into an Arts and Retail precinct.  We've been contacted about getting retails space there but am a bit wary of it becoming another PMQ.   Ahhh...the vagaries of HK shoppers. 

Then need to get a few big brands in there and then it will probably become successful- but reduce the design intent ...

The old site...
