<a href="http://www.colourliving.com/">COLOURLIVING</a>, the city’s dedicated one-stop lifestyle concept destination, recently hosted an exclusive gathering at the B&amp;B Italia Hong Kong showroom in Wan Chai. Under the twinkling lights of the Hong Kong evening skyline streaming through the 350sq.m venue’s 31st-floor windows, the occasion celebrated the addition of not one, but two wholly separate luxury furniture brands to the B&amp;B Italia Group – Maxalto and Azucena.

Bringing a contemporary spin to classical designs, Maxalto highlights the stylish interior furnishings crafted by renowned Italian designer Antonio Citterio. Azucena, meanwhile, will showcase a selection of timeless, one-of-a-kind creations designed by Milanese architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni, marking the brand’s debut into the Hong Kong market.

Luxurious products from both brands will join B&amp;B Italia’s already-expansive selection of impeccable indoor and outdoor furnishings, including stunning designs from such luminaries as Piero Lissoni, Patricia Urquiola and Gaetano Pesce.

In recognition of this landmark moment, Denise Lau, Chief Executive Officer of COLOURLIVING, said: “Our partnership with B&amp;B Italia has gone from strength to strength. We are extremely honoured to be further entrusted with the exclusivity of Maxalto and Azucena of The B&amp;B Italia Group.”

B&B Italia Hong Kong introduces two new furniture brands

Introducing: Maxalto & Azucena launched at B&B Italia Hong Kong showroom

London has long&nbsp;been seen as a place of lofty drama, whether depicted&nbsp;in the towering theatrical works of Shakespeare or&nbsp;as the most recent setting for the unintentionally&nbsp;hilarious high-jinks that have surrounded the ongoing&nbsp;Brexit debacle. It is only fitting then that this ancient&nbsp;capital has added another feature to its illustrious cap&nbsp;with a bold new addition to its unmistakable skyline –&nbsp;the 33-storey-high <a href="//www.gafencushop.com/tag/one-crown-place/">One Crown Place</a>.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47000" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_LIVING_F02.jpg" alt="crown place" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_LIVING_F02.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_LIVING_F02-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_LIVING_F02-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_LIVING_F02-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_LIVING_F02-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_LIVING_F02-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_LIVING_F02-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Set just south of the city’s financial district, this&nbsp;new luxury housing complex is only a few minutes&nbsp;from Liverpool Street Station, one of the capital’s&nbsp;busiest travel interchanges, with the bristling&nbsp;neighbourhoods of Shoreditch and Old Street&nbsp;both falling within its lengthy shadow. Opting for&nbsp;a bold and striking old-meets-new approach, the&nbsp;development’s twin towers comprise 246 residential&nbsp;apartments, six 15,500sq.m floors of premium&nbsp;office space, a signature array of high-end ground&nbsp;floor retail spaces, a boutique hotel and an exclusive&nbsp;residents-only, luxuriously-furnished club.
In order to ensure the development is suitably&nbsp;regal, architectural duties were outsourced to <a href="https://www.kpf.com/">KPF</a>,&nbsp;a visionary London- and New York-based firm with a&nbsp;portfolio of premium projects stretching from São&nbsp;Paulo to Shanghai. Once on board, the company’s&nbsp;resident residential geniuses set about drafting plans&nbsp;for a building that would embody both the historic&nbsp;grandeur of its setting and stand as a stark reminder&nbsp;that this is one city that would never shy from&nbsp;welcoming in the future.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46999" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_KITCHEN_F01.jpg" alt="crown place" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_KITCHEN_F01.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_KITCHEN_F01-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_KITCHEN_F01-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_KITCHEN_F01-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_KITCHEN_F01-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_KITCHEN_F01-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S17_KITCHEN_F01-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
After road-testing more than a hundred construction&nbsp;concepts, KPF ultimately settled on the now-familiar&nbsp;prismesque silhouette. This, they believed, would optimise the&nbsp;outlook for each of the tower’s tenants, while ensuring as much&nbsp;natural light as possible filtered into every spacious apartment.
In accordance with the over-archingly modern design&nbsp;ethic, the interiors of each high-mounted living space have&nbsp;been designed to be warm, welcoming and bright, while giving a&nbsp;knowing nod in the direction of the area’s industrial heritage. In line with this, its oak herringbone floors are a fetching homage&nbsp;to the many Georgian terraces that line the nearby streets.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46996" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_DINING_F01.jpg" alt="crown place" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_DINING_F01.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_DINING_F01-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_DINING_F01-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_DINING_F01-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_DINING_F01-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_DINING_F01-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_DINING_F01-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
The building’s fore fronting of natural light, meanwhile,&nbsp;reaches its apotheosis in the sundry kitchen spaces, the true&nbsp;focal point of each residence. This sees glass-fronted cabinets&nbsp;diffuse the outside light throughout the interior, while the finely engineered&nbsp;stonework within adds notes of inherent orderliness.
Elegantly-fashioned sliding glass doors, meanwhile, act as&nbsp;bespoke barriers between the kitchen and dining spaces, giving&nbsp;owners the option of dividing or uniting their personal territory&nbsp;as they see fit. As befits such an alluring outlook, floor-to ceiling&nbsp;windows ensure sweeping views of the city below.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46998" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_SECOND_BATH_F01.jpg" alt="crown place" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_SECOND_BATH_F01.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_SECOND_BATH_F01-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_SECOND_BATH_F01-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_SECOND_BATH_F01-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_SECOND_BATH_F01-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_SECOND_BATH_F01-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_S16_SECOND_BATH_F01-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Warm hues then trail into the bathroom proper, which is&nbsp;spa-like in its majesty, complete with heated towel rails and&nbsp;gleaming porcelain floor tiles. All of this, though, is but an&nbsp;entrée for the stunning undermounted bathtub – truly a space&nbsp;to preen as you clean.
Proceeding boudoirwards, each&nbsp;chamber is blessed with the last word&nbsp;in contemporary wardrobing, courtesy&nbsp;of the fine fittings sourced from <a href="https://www.bebitalia.com/en">B&amp;B&nbsp;Italia</a>, the Milan-based manufacturer&nbsp;seen as one of the prime purveyors of&nbsp;high-end European furniture. Meanwhile,&nbsp;flexible and striking illumination comes&nbsp;courtesy of a series of ergonomically suspended&nbsp;lights immediately above the&nbsp;dedicated sleep space.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46995" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_PENT_STAIRS_F02.jpg" alt="crown place" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_PENT_STAIRS_F02.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_PENT_STAIRS_F02-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_PENT_STAIRS_F02-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_PENT_STAIRS_F02-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1CP_PENT_STAIRS_F02-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" />
Promoted as a virtual extension&nbsp;of each personal residential unit, the&nbsp;seventh floor of the development has&nbsp;been reserved as a shared interchange&nbsp;space, allowing tower-dwellers to mingle and meet when so minded. Fostering the&nbsp;building’s incipient sense of community, it is&nbsp;also home to a state-of-the-art gym, an in house&nbsp;theatre and an extended dining room,&nbsp;bookable for when you just have too many&nbsp;peckish friends popping by.
One Crown Place’s crowning glory,&nbsp;though, is indubitably its exterior terrace,&nbsp;a dedicated al fresco area where residents&nbsp;immerse themselves in a full-on floral&nbsp;experience well above London’s often less&nbsp;clement thoroughfares. ‘Be in the city, but&nbsp;not of the city’ is surely as apt a maxim&nbsp;as you’re likely to find for this true mid metropolitan&nbsp;marvel.
