Paying critical attention to the details of everyday life, André Fu and his studio have applied its vision of design to the fundamental categories of space, proportion, light, and luxurious materials, creating indulgent and inspirational hospitality spaces throughout the world, as you can see from the images of his works.

According to the designer, “living, studying and travelling between both countries over the past thirty years is why my own tastemaker sensibility reinterprets traditional notions of national identities or ‘East-meets-West aesthetics’ in a new hybrid. For me, it is about combining a seamless alignment of cultural and design sensibilities, modern luxury, and craftsmanship to shape the world around us.”

During an interview, André Fu said that his main challenge in his work is the duration of the project — typically a hotel project would take from 4 to 6 years to realize. In the age of social media where everything is instantaneous, he believes the persistence required to drive a vision forward, especially in the realization of something related to hospitality and lifestyle, becomes very challenging.
