Projects include luxury hotels, art galleries, apartments, furniture, lighting and decorative accessories. Over the last ten years, he has gained international renown for interiors that bridge the gap between eastern and western culture whilst embodying his own particular design aesthetic of relaxed luxury.
For the past decade and a half, Fu’s vision has been defined by a seamless alignment of cultural and design sensibilities, modern luxury, art and craftsmanship – the themes explored in this book. A trained architect who studied architecture at Cambridge, his projects draw as naturally on European principles of beauty as from Oriental qualities, traditions and modernity. His seemingly effortless creations range from an original furniture creation for Louis Vuitton’s exclusive Objets Nomades collection, contemporary art galleries in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Shanghai for international gallerists including Emmanuel Perrotin, and major hotels and restaurants around the world including Villa La Coste in Provence, The Berkeley London and Hong Kong’s St Regis Hotel and The Upper House Hotel.
Written by design expert Catherine Shaw, André Fu: Crossing Cultures with Design features 18 of the studio’s recent projects from around the world – including Fu’s own apartment in Hong Kong each illustrated with stunning photographs and Fu’s personal perspective and, for some, hand-drawn sketches and mood boards that add an intimate glimpse into Fu’s design language.
