MailPinterestChristian Fischbacher IV, fourth generation Fischbacher of the namesake textile company founded by his great-grandfather, spent many years in the US before returning to St. Gallen, Switzerland, where he not only added a clothing segment to the company’s design department but also had a house a built.
It’s in this house that his grandson, Michael Fischbacher, would host his wedding reception with then-fiance, Camilla. Little did they know that the same house would, two decades later, be home to the couple and their three children.

Within the ebullient melting pot that is Hong Kong, where waves of styles, influences and sensibilities are often in a tug of war for attention, having a stripped-back respite of one’s own is a true luxury.

Such is the feat achieved by award-winning interior designer Joseph Sy and his team at Joseph Sy & Associates with the eight-month renovation of a 1,300sqft apartment perched atop the Mid-Levels hills. Oozing a minimalist elegance laced with whimsical, personal touches, every corner of t ..read more

Luxury means different things to different people.
For some, it’s about filling their home with pieces by only the most prestigious brand names – think Fendi, Armani Casa, Bottega Veneta and Versace, to name a few. For others, it’s about residing in a heritage building that’s beautifully constructed and steeped in history and grandeur. If you’re looking to elevate your home to a lofty level, however, a tried-and-true method is to start with the materials that make up your space. From marble and mosaic to precious stones, fine materials can subtly transform the entire vibe of your abode – provi ..read more

They are, however, hard to find in large cities, instead typically located in scenic areas where the beauty of nature is celebrated. This all changed with the opening of Hoshinoya Tokyo ..read more

Isolated for decades under apartheid, South Africa has seen dramatic change in recent times.
