Celebrated star designer, Chris Lee of Asylum talks of his inspirations, uniqueness and future aspirations.
WHO IS CHRIS LEE?
I’m the founder of Asylum, a multidisciplinary design studio based in Singapore with a global footprint. Some of our notable projects include the world’s first Hublot pop up store, branding for the National Gallery, designing flagship Johnnie Walker Houses around the world, including many airports, and most recently The Warehouse Hotel where we did the branding and interior design.
I started Asylum in 1999 after heading the design department of Ogilvy & Mather and Bartle Bogle Hegarty because I wanted to create a studio that could create great work for independent clients.
WHAT ARE YOUR DAILY ROUTINES WHEN YOU’RE NOT AT WORK?
I travel, spend time with my family and hang out with friends. Possibly, catch up with all my reading as well.
THE FEATHERS ON YOUR HAT TRANSLATES A LONG LIST OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND MILESTONES FROM DESIGN EDUCATION, CONFERENCES, TALKS TO WINNING DESIGNER OF THE YEAR FOR THE PRESIDENT’S DESIGN AWARD. WHAT ARE YOU AIMING NEXT?
