André Fu

Named Interior Designer of the Year in 2019 by Elle Decoration China, Designer of the Year in 2016 for Maison & Objet Asia and on Wallpaper*’s list of ‘Top 20 Interior Designers’, Hong Kong-based André Fu is Asia’s most sought-after interior architect, celebrated for his captivating, original interiors. For the past decade and a half, Fu’s vision has been defined by a seamless alignment of cultural and design sensibilities, modern luxury, art and craftsmanship – the themes explored in this book. A trained architect, his projects span scales and typologies, continuously bridging the gap between cultures, and drawing as naturally on European principles of beauty as from Oriental qualities, traditions and modernity. His seemingly effortless creations range from an original furniture creation for Louis Vuitton’s exclusive Objets Nomades collection, contemporary art galleries in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Shanghai for international gallerists including Emmanuel Perrotin, and major hotels and restaurants around the world including Villa La Coste in Provence, The Berkeley London and Hong Kong’s St Regis Hotel, Hotel The Mitsui in Kyoto and The Upper House Hotel. In 2019, he successfully launched André Fu Living (AFL) with a holistic collection of lifestyle products that reflect his signature modern style. Last year, a hardback monograph titled ‘Crossing Cultures with Design’, written by Catherine Shaw, was published by UK based publisher Thames and Hudson. The book explores Fu’s defining influences and the development of his unique and highly refined aesthetic and its relevance on the international design stage. Fu’s personal design ethos is deeply rooted in his world of relaxed luxury, his ability to craft compelling settings that embrace and reflect harmony, beauty and warmth, and which are imbued with understated sophistication.
