About Le Utopia Fale Nofo

O se tasi o vaega taua o le mamanu o se ata mega o le Big Ben iloga o le faitotoa. E teuteu ai le avanoa i se lagona o taimi paganoa. O le fa'aogaina o le lanu efuefu ma'a malu e pei o le lanu autu o le mamanu o se fa'aola tele ma le va'aiga fa'anatura i fafo. O potu 'ai ma potu malolo i faʻamalama Farani e fiafia i le malamalama faʻanatura ma le vaʻaia o le sami. O meaafale maa maa ma mamanu e fa'atamaoaigaina ai se si'osi'omaga savili ae o le leo eleelea o le potumoe sili e fausia ai se lagona malolo lelei mo le taimi e momoe ai.

Tags: Big Ben, Air of Warm family, Elegant, Quality flavor, A memory of love in England
Production Technology: The design adopts only healthy and eco-friendly environment materials. Premium materials meeting the most stringent international quality requirements are used. They are all VOC and asbestos-free, with extremely low formaldehyde level, less than the content in apples and cabbages. An advanced heat exchange system is introduced to maximize air convection and let in fresh air to maintain a high indoor oxygen level. To ensure the best results, it took nearly two years from design to completion.
Inspiration: Design originates from life, while design shapes life. Overall design presents a modern and warm ambience. It integrates common belief and needs of the family members. An artful portrait of London marking their happy moments becomes a sliding screen door for the cabinet. The design integrates a wide-angle of open vision. Natural colours and pattern echo nature. The use of different materials provides a dynamic shift of moods and visual effects to cater to the preferences of each family member.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2018 in Hong Kong SAR, China and finished in February 2020.
