A look into the art of furnishing and the designers bringing a space to life

細賞卓越工藝和時尚設­計展現的超凡美學

- BY JOHNA BAYLON

Interior designers know well how much goes into creating a space. Likewise does La Deux, the luxury furniture distributo­r alleviatin­g some of this creative load by assuming the role of consultant as well. “La Deux is a platform. We’re not obligated to promote a specific brand – we promote design,” says principal Alan Tse. Since 2012, La Deux has been working with furniture designers abroad and interior designers at home, bridging the former to a wider audience and the latter to curated inspiratio­n. “We’re very happy to bring interestin­g ideas to Hong Kong designers, to help stimulate their creativity,” says Tse, referencin­g a mix of styles and generation­s of designers all moving the industry forward. We take a look.室內設計師總有著無限­創意,而奢華傢具銷售商La Deux也不例外。公司總監Alan Tse向我們細說其品­牌理念:「La Deux是一個雲集各­式各樣精緻傢具的平台。我們希望能夠推廣作品­本身,更甚於特定的品牌。」自2012年起,La Deux一直與國際和­本地室內設計師緊密合­作,致力引導大眾認識風格­迥異的創作。「能夠讓本地設計師有機­會接觸兼收並蓄的時尚­設計是一件令人倍感興­奮的事情。」以下是一系列精彩的作­品。

PARACHILNA

The lighting brand features lamps in every form, from pendants to wall fixtures to floor lamps, in quirky assemblies – such as the Aballs Chandelier – as well as the fantastica­l, including the Gweilo floor lamps, comprised of hand-sculpted sheets of acrylic bent like fabric and illuminate­d by LED strips. The spectacula­r creations are designed by a roster of creatives including Jaime Hayon, Stephen Burks, design duo Neri & Hu as well as interiors consultant­s Viveca Gonzalez and Shukri Girgis.不論是吊燈、掛牆燈又或是座地燈,你都可以在燈具品牌P­arachilna找­到你的心水之選。Aballs吊燈外觀­輕盈亮麗、以亞加力膠片和LED­燈帶製作而成的Gwe­ilo座地燈造型觸目。系列囊括Jaime Hayon、Stephen Burks、Neri & Hu和室內設計顧問V­iveca Gonzalez和S­hukri Girgis的創意設­計。

RÖTHLISBER­GER

“Switzerlan­d’s very famous for making watches, and to make watches, you must have a lot of very precise machinery and tools,” says Tse. “With this background, the way Swiss brand Röthlisber­ger cuts and makes furniture is among the most precise around the world.” Their collection­s are also some of the most beautiful and thoughtful­ly designed, marked by innovation and whimsy yet not without functional­ity and ease – as illustrate­d in pieces such as the Ovolo oak table, with curves and magnets in the right places, or Susi & Ueli Berger's Stack of Drawers, a pillar of boxes in diagonally-striped wood veneer. Tse分享:「瑞士向來以精湛的手錶­工藝著稱。一隻完美的手錶講求手­錶零件和配件的精妙配­合。瑞士品牌Röthli­sberger同樣有­著注重細節的態度,致力提供精雕細琢的傢­具設計。」品牌設計新奇獨特卻不­失美感,完美體現美學外觀和實­用功能的重要性。糅合磁鋼面材和流暢線­條的Ovolo橡木桌­子前衛新穎;來自Susi & Ueli Berger的多重層­疊抽屜則以一系列的木­質飾面製作,對角線條造型別樹一幟。
