André Fu: Crossing Cultures with Design, an exploration of the work of architect and designer André Fu will be published later this month by Thames & Hudson. While travel, for nearly all of us, is impossible at the moment, there is some small consolation in being able to view a collection of beautiful interiors such as these.
Fu is one of Asia’s most acclaimed architects and interior designers, whose projects include luxury hotels, art galleries, apartments, furniture, lighting and decorative accessories. During the last 10 years, he has gained international renown for interiors that bridge the gap between Eastern and Western culture while embodying his own particular design aesthetic of relaxed luxury.
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 who studied architecture at Cambridge, his projects draw as naturally on European principles of beauty as from Asian qualities, traditions and modernity. His seemingly effortless creations include an original furniture creation for Louis Vuitton’s exclusive Objets Nomades collection. He has worked with international gallerists like Emmanuel Perrotin and designed major hotels and restaurants around the world, including Villa La Coste in Provence, The Berkeley London and Hong Kong’s St Regis Hotel and The Upper House Hotel.
Written by design expert Catherine Shaw, André Fu: Crossing Cultures with Design features 18 of the studio‘s recent projects from around the world – including Fu’s own apartment in Hong Kong – each illustrated with stunning photographs and Fu’s personal perspective and, for some, hand-drawn sketches and mood boards that add an intimate glimpse into Fu’s design language.
