At the time when British interior designer Amanda Clark first moved to Hong Kong in the ’80s, she was stymied by the lack of decor resources. “Very few international brands were available for purchase in Hong Kong back then—it was the preinternet age and there was no global shopping,” she recalls. The intrepid designer sought to fill that gap by co-founding furnishings purveyor Altfield Interiors, bringing in top US and European brands to Hong Kong, Macau, Shanghai and Beijing. Its Singapore showroom opened earlier this year, carrying an inspired mix of decorative accessories and trimmings, and its extensive range of leading international textile and wallcovering brands.
