DESIGN DESTINATION: HK

Founders Jesse McLin and Julie Progin – partners in life as well as in design and art – bring a melting pot of cultural influences to their exquisite porcelain creations. Check out the cool dinnerware collections they have designed for Tribute Hotels, as well as restaurants The Night Market and Foxtail & Broomcorn. You’ll also find lamps, mugs and more in their online store. 

Reddie has tapped into our love of bespoke with its simple yet effective concept. Go through their library of modern, clean-lined designs, pick out the design you like and then customise it in any number of ways. You can paint all or some of it a different colour, whitewash it, give it metal legs… and much more. Hong Kong-based Australian architect Caroline Olah is the brains behind the brand, and she works with a team of craftsmen in Central Java, Indonesia, to bring each design to life. 

Based in Sai Ying Pun, get.give is all about an appreciation for the art of making, as well as items that will last and last. Their collection is small but beautifully edited, with products sourced from Hong Kong, Japan and beyond, including eco-cleaning products as well as their own range of stunning wrapping papers. 

Born of a love of ceramics, food and drink, this Hong Kong brand has been promoting original, craft-driven design since it started in 2008. We’re big fans of Loveramics’ modern, Asian-European style, a result of the collaboration between founder William Lee, his wife, Grace, and British designer Simon Stevens. The brand’s products are made in its own workshops, where they have their own water recycling plant. Here, they also use excess heat from the kilns for other elements of the production process. 

Designer Mae Kwan founded MASE while meditating in Bali and her collections, which are based on storytelling, feng shui and colour therapy, now include home items such as cushions and art prints. We also love her fun, original bags.
