Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: This design differs from previous ones, as the designer has paired gray-black elements with various lighting effects to create distinct lighting atmospheres in different corners of the home, which is why it is named "Light in dark".
Dimensions & Packaging: Our interior design is based on the client's needs, creating custom-made furniture to facilitate better usage, improved storage solutions, and more.
Tags: Lighting,Dark,Gray
Production Technology: Furniture design is constructed using elements such as fine-core plywood, ENF-grade boards, complemented by small amounts of steel, lighting effects, and fabric accents.
Design Challenge: In the common perception, black and gray tones often evoke a sense of oppression and solidity. It is no easy task to retain these elements while designing a space that feels comfortable and inviting. However, through meticulous design and thoughtful planning, the designer has successfully addressed these challenges one by one.
Research: After understanding the homeowner's needs, the designer created a personalized design style for him—simple yet stylish. Although this unit is compact in size, it is perfectly sufficient for a single gentleman. Noting that the homeowner has few clothes but many collectibles, the designer designated the master bedroom as the primary storage space for clothing, while Room A serves as the homeowner's display area for collectibles. The living room, on the other hand, is used to showcase trophies, medals, and other collections.
Inspiration: The designer created a modern and stylish design style for the homeowner. Gray-black materials, light and shadow, and metal elements are used to shape the overall coherence of the entire home. Amber tones are employed as a balancing element within the predominantly gray and dark color scheme.
Project Duration: Hong Kong
Yuen Long
Grand Mayfair
Operation Flow: The designer communicates with the homeowner to understand their needs and finalize the interior design style. After grasping the general requirements, the designer uses SketchUp to illustrate the overall home design for the client's clear understanding. Further planning is then carried out for every dimension of the furniture items, ensuring the homeowner lives more comfortably.
