Where are you as we speak? What can you see from your window?
From my apartment in Hong Kong, I can see an oceanfront panoramic view of Deep Water Bay and Middle Island.
Can you tell us about your neighbourhood?
It’s on the southern side of Hong Kong Island with a small community of residential buildings and houses in between beaches.
How would you describe your home?
An urban retreat.
What’s your favourite piece of furniture, and why?
Claude Lalanne’s ginkgo leaf bench. I am intrigued by the way it expresses genuine sculptural beauty, while being functional.
How do you start your days?
With a cup of green tea on my terrace.
What do you do to relax?
I sketch and draw.
What are you reading at the moment?
In Praise of Shadows by Junichiro Tanizaki.
