Tom Dixon, Dining Concepts and Lane Crawford brought VIPs, friends and journalists together for a special dinner on 13 October 2016. It was an opportunity for this group of people to meet the designer himself, and to experience the newly opened ALTO Bar & Grill, which was conceived by Tom Dixon Design Research Studio for Dining Concepts.

A total of 90 guests gathered for cocktails on the roof at V Point in Causeway Bay, enjoying the stunning Harbour views before heading to the richly decorated restaurant on the 31st floor. Here, they were treated to a three-course meal by Chef Mike Boyle. Guests also got to see firsthand the latest items from Tom Dixon’s collections, including luxe candles and tableware.

Creating synergies of form, hue and space

When considered from the perspective of the human experience, a chair is not merely an object. It is a human vantage point within a space, it is the focal point for energies and activities, and it is a visual anchor that guides activities and emotions.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.

Injecting identity into adaptable workplaces: the brand harnessing the visual treasure trove of cross-sector design culture

The magnetic pull of certain spaces comes down to how seamlessly they work and, more importantly, how they feel. Recognising this, Kettal Workplace draws on the uplifting codes of other sectors to deliver contemporary workplace design.
