Living in Hong Kong for expats can be interesting at the same time challenging. The fast pace of daily life and limited space in every corner around the city sometime does give people a headache. Here is a story of an expat that had just moved to HK.

It's a mystery - why there is no built in storage space in Hong Kong homes, whether you have ample room in a 2000 sq ft apartment or you are fighting for storage space like the majority of us in our boxy apartments.

It’s what many in the design industry aspire to, whatever their ability or experience, to design, build and bring to the market a new furniture design.

It begins with an idea. In some industries a product is developed to solve a problem, while some designers prefer to consider unique designs concepts and use of different materials.

Buying or renting a house in a city is the first step in turning it into a home, especially when you buy it in a bustling metropolis like Hong Kong. Getting Furniture for your new home is the next step. However, many home owners tend to make a very big mistake when it comes to this part. They tend to buy the furniture based on their needs and fancies, not for the house.

In a town where rental fees are among the highest in the world it is no surprising the cost of retail products are increased to counterbalance the overheads the shop owners/companies have. And the furniture retail shops are no exception.

In a city where a square foot in your home is very valuable it is important to make the most of what you have. As well as creating space saving furniture and furniture that fits perfectly to the dimension of you home, you are able to create a one-off custom design that no one else will have. With influences from famous bed designs to childhood chairs or a fusion of designs you have seen in a magazines, it’s your chance to be creative and create the one-off unique piece of furniture.
