The Rock Garden Collection
André Fu for JANUS et Cie
A tranquil sense of place that inspires reflection
Born in Hong Kong and educated in England from the age of 14,
André Fu holds a Bachelor of Arts at Cambridge University and
a Masters in Architecture from the University of Cambridge. Fu
credits his idiosyncratic design style—a quietly thoughtful, carefully
considered yet analytical approach marked by a highly refined
aesthetic—to his peripatetic cultural upbringing. According to the
designer, “living, studying and traveling between both countries over
the past thirty years is why my own tastemaker sensibility reinterprets
traditional notions of national identities or ‘East-meets-West aesthetics’
in a new hybrid. For me, it is about combining a seamless alignment
of cultural and design sensibilities, modern luxury, and craftsmanship
to shape the world around us.”
Fu became known overnight when he first redefined notions of
hospitality with his design of the world-renowned Upper House hotel
in Hong Kong, and has since gone on to create forward-thinking
interiors for other leading brands. Fu leads each project personally
from his airy design studio, located on the historic Duddell Street
in Central, Hong Kong.
“I enjoy working on a wide range of projects across the world but none
of these are about me or my personal design style,” he explains. “Each
new commission starts with understanding my client, the brand, and
their specific brief or vision so that when someone walks into the
space—whether it is an Andaz or a Waldorf hotel, for instance—that
is what they see. My signature touches may be there, but it is very
important to me that the design is about telling a story about the brand.”
Designs usually begin with Fu’s hand-drawn conceptual sketches,
shaping a sensuous fusion of form and materiality, before proceeding
to a detailed design stage.
This same personal attention to detail throughout the design process
is apparent across the breadth of his work, which has won increasing
recognition with numerous awards. In 2016, he was named Designer
of the Year for Maison & Objet Asia and also honored in Wallpaper*s
list of Top 20 Interior Designers. Recently, his designs for Kerry Hotel
were awarded Ahead Asia’s Best Urban Hotel and Best Bar 2018.
Fu’s most recent unique design collaboration was his Ribbon Dance
creation for Louis Vuitton’s Objets Nomades Collection. 2019 marks
the launch of his exclusive Rock Garden dining and lounge collection
for JANUS et Cie.
In 2015, he successfully launched the André Fu Living (AFL) lifestyle
brand with a series of products including a collection of original
urban-inspired handmade carpets for Tai Ping, an artisanal room scent
formulated by the cult perfumer Julian Bedel in collaboration with Fu,
and modernist TAC/TILE lighting in collaboration with Czech lighting
manufacturer Lasvit. 2019 will see a new phase for AFL with a holistic
lifestyle offering to unveil.
“I enjoy working on projects across different scales, moving from one
realm to the next,” Fu explains. Each reflects the hallmarks of his
signature modern style with simple, natural materials and textures,
and an unmistakable understated elegance.
