Sweet smell of success
On-going travel restrictions have led us all to times of reflection and to new discoveries a little closer to home – be they hitherto unknown talents in the kitchen or longforgotten places of beauty in the cities that surround us.
For Steve and Nicholas Leung, the fashionable father-andson team who grace this month’s cover, the halt in travel has encouraged more meaningful bonds, and has sparked deeper conversations between the two, during which their first project was born – a member-only cigar club in Central soaked in luxury.
“We want to provide a sanctuary from the city for our members to appreciate cigars with Chinese cuisine and fine wines,” says Nicholas. From the treatment of the walls and panels, to the design of floral arrangements, to the selection of artworks, every detail in the club is spot on. The result is a space that combines style and substance, as Nicholas tells us on page 42.
On that note, an eclectic mix of Italian furniture that the designers and homeowners hand-picked in Milan, along with refined surface treatments, come together for a superlative family home for five in the Mid-Levels. Read more on page 54.
We also take you into a sweet pied-à-terre in Paris, on page 72, which, under the helm of French interior designer Stéphanie Coutas, feels like a high-end hotel suite.
With our kitchens taking on a much bigger role at home in the pandemic era, we dish up on page 28 four top kitchen appliances that promise to take your cooking space up a notch, as well as expert tips on page 96 to help you dream up the best family kitchen that reflects your tastes. Please enjoy.
多月來的旅遊限制,引發了我們對生活不少反思和新發現——有人在家居廚房中找到新樂趣;有人重新發現自己身處的城市之美。
