Broadwood Residence / Layered in deep, resonant tones and sumptuous textural layers, this intimate family residence artfully embraces pattern and colour. The interiors reveal meticulous details within a richly enveloping atmosphere — where refined design harmoniously meets the warmth of family life. @voguehongkong April 2026 issue
The Collector’s Residence featured on @design.anthology
For an interior designer, few commissions are as exhilarating — or as daunting — as the home of serious collectors. When the clients are a couple with homes across the globe and a deep affinity for Chinese antiques, plus heirlooms and objects spanning Africa to Southeast Asia, the challenges multiply: how do you create something cohesive without reducing their treasures to museum pieces? How do you honour that breadth without the whole thing collapsing into cliché?
‘Our work here was driven entirely by our clients’ collection,’ says Elaine Lu, co-founder and managing director of interdisciplinary Hong Kong practice Lim + Lu (@limandlu ). ‘They wanted to honour local flavour, but they were also moving from a larger house into this smaller, more intimate space. The question became how to showcase these treasures without overwhelming the home.’
The project is a 200-square-metre apartment within a beloved 1958 building in Hong Kong’s Mid-Levels. It’s a structure Lim + Lu know intimately, having completed three projects here. This familiarity gave the duo confidence to pursue the unit’s latent potential, enlarging the original windows to frame the surrounding treetops so that foliage filters light and seasons become part of the domestic landscape. ‘We love this old building and its green surroundings,’ says Lu.

Merry Christmas & Happy 2026
In this season of warmth and wonder, we shine a light on our joyous collaboration at Maison & Objet Interieurs Hong Kong 2025—where Coltex joins hands with award-winning visionaries @limandlu and @cl3architects , weaving a design narrative that breathes life into Hong Kong’s creative pulse and cultural soul.
Nestled within Le Club at @maisonetobjet.hongkong , a vibrant nexus of creative dialogue, lies a curated collection of bespoke pieces by Lim + Lu and CL3. Coltex is proud to lend its rich crimson-hued fabrics, adorned with Hong Kong’s classic retro mosaic tile motifs, upholstering armchairs, dining chairs, and the whimsical Trolley Cart Sofa—a playful ode to the iconic pushcarts that once dotted the city’s bustling streets. As Hong Kong’s sole local fabric curator dedicated to the craft of premium material development and production, we are privileged to showcase our creations at this esteemed gathering, inviting all to wander, wonder, and immerse themselves in the seamless fusion of local heritage and contemporary design.

The Collector’s Residence / Pt 2. Spaces With Stories
Upon entering, guests are greeted by chinoiserie wallpaper that adorns the foyer, setting a cultural tone that resonates throughout the residence. A bespoke marble console stands as a statement piece, welcoming visitors with its allure.
At the heart of the living area, a custom Calacatta Viola fireplace commands attention as the centerpiece, while a hidden bar, revealed in a visually striking green hue, adds an element of surprise. Adjacent to the fireplace stands a Ju Ming sculpture, adding a touch of artistic flair. Above the fireplace, a sword belonging to the client’s grandfather, a memento from his military service, adds a personal and historical touch.
The guest bathroom features a whimsical combination of green terrazzo and emerald pattern tiles, creating a vibrant and textured retreat.
The chinoiserie motif is thoughtfully integrated into various areas of the home, including the master bedroom wall, creating a sense of continuity and charm throughout The Collector‘s Residence.
The Collector’s Residence / Pt. 1 Sneak Peek
A sneak peek of our latest residential project, a captivating dialogue between Chinese heritage and contemporary finesse. Nestled in mid-levels, this sanctuary embodies a harmonious fusion of tradition and modernity. Each curated detail, from bespoke chinoiserie accents to the carefully selected vintage pieces, narrates a story of elegance and cultural depth. Witness a space where the past gracefully intertwines with the present, crafting an atmosphere of timeless allure.
It was an honor to design @maisonetobjet.hongkong le Club with @limandlu@cl3architects using plastic stools was an experiment that is it too grass root for an elegant lounge. Seeing an @hermes bag on our plastic stool is the high and low hospitality look that is so #hongkong #hongkongculture #hongkongheritage @williamlimcl3
Maison & Objet Hong Kong Le Club designed by @cl3architects and @limandlu . 8 years after representing Hong Kong as Rising Asian Talent at @maisonetobjet Paris, we unveil our design for @maisonetobjet.hongkong Le Club.
Our design for Le Club encapsulates a fusion of tradition and innovation. At the heart of the installation are the ubiquitous Hong Kong plastic stools, transformed into a striking modular structure, floor lamps, and shelves that redefine their ordinary utility.
Drawing on the essence of Hong Kong living, we integrated elements such as round partitions reminiscent of traditional folding tables, bespoke carpets intricately etched with Hong Kong’s mosaic tile patterns, and sofa seating inspired by the city‘s iconic pushcarts. These features intertwine seamlessly with bespoke furniture by Lim + Lu, upholstered in luxurious fabrics from local brand @coltexfurnishing , alongside classic pieces from @colourliving.hk and @jeb_group .
The juxtaposition of plastic stools against our bespoke and curated pieces with luxurious marbles, rich fabrics, and silky carpets cultivates a captivating synergy within Le Club, with an ambiance that is both invigorating and inviting, offering a space where visitors can unwind in a setting that is at once familiar and extraordinary.
