Natalya J Ho is a multi-talented designer making a name for herself in the field of interior design. After graduating from Brown University with a bachelor of arts and the Rhode Island School of Design with a master’s in fine arts, both in 2022, she moved back to Hong Kong last autumn. Having already had experience in design—she worked with interior design practice Joyce Wang Studio to create Dockside Dairy, an ice cream pop-up by day and art sculpture by night, outside K11 Musea, in 2021—Ho met with Michelle Ma-Chan, the co-founder and managing director of Gourmet Dining Group (GDG), in September last year. The two hit it off, and Ho was tapped to transform The Blooms by Épure, the outdoor space of GDG’s one-Michelin-starred French fine-dining restaurant Épure, in Tsim Sha Tsui.
In November, Ho began transforming the 3,000 sq ft space into a haven of immersive experiences, with the themes The Enchanted Mirror and The Enchanted Bench.
