Book Review: Thames & Hudson publish Catherine Shaw’s ‘Crossing Cultures with Design’

Design writer Shaw explores the work of Andre Fu, Asia’s interior architect, whose projects range from luxury hotels, art galleries and apartments, to furniture, lighting and decorative accessories

by Georgina Johnston 27 October 2020

As well as creating beautiful hotel interiors in Asia and Europe, including the famous Upper House in Hong Kong, Andre has collaborated with luxury brands, art galleries and designed his own lifestyle collection of furniture and decorative accessories; Andre Fu Living. His work bridges the gap between eastern and western culture whilst embodying his own particular design aesthetic of relaxed luxury.           

A trained architect who studied architecture at Cambridge, Fu’s projects draw as naturally on European principles of beauty as from Oriental qualities, traditions and modernity. His 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.

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 impressive 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.
