<p>It is a typical rainy, grey May day in Hong Kong, but inside Andrew Yuen’s luxurious Central apartment, clashes of gold, silver and everything in between envelop the cosy space. Silverware and sculptures from his many travels around the globe are gracefully displayed with personal touches like portraits of his parents and son, Anthony.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Among the many roles he has inhabited over a long and fulfilling career – Deputy Managing Director of Dayton Group, CoChairman of the Hong Kong Cancer Fund, Vice-President of the Society of the Academy for Performing Arts and Chairman of Le French May, which led to the title of Chevalier (Knight) of the National Order of the Legion of Honour, awarded by the French government – is a new commitment as Director of the Board of the Hong Kong Palace Museum.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“The thing about this new role is that I didn’t apply for it. I was appointed,” he says humbly, shrugging his shoulders as if it is some small matter. “Why me? Well, maybe because of my art collection?”</p>

<p>Indeed, Yuen is a long-time supporter and champion of the arts, all types of it, from visual to performing. His fascination with all things artistic was ignited at a very young age when he and his father would go “treasure hunting” – as young Andrew would call it – in antique shops along Hollywood Road and at auction houses as one of their weekend activities. Despite having pioneered the electronics industry in the city, his parents raised him and his four siblings to be self-effacing. A sensibility that he applies when bringing up a teenager of his own.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“I am always proud to say that I have the best parents. They just let us do what we want to do in life and explore whatever we like. But I think they also have this magic to bring us all back together. All five of us are now living here in Hong Kong,” he says, laughing.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Kendy Enterprise, the empire which Jack and Daisy Yuen built, was founded in 1958 as one of the early makers of transistor radios. Dayton Industrial was born in 1972 and nurtured into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of micro-electronic products such as heart-rate monitors, altimeter watches, e-bike HMI, sensors and parts for smartphones.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Shades of Success</h3>



<p>“I feel very much at home when I am at the [Hong Kong Palace] museum. I could just talk about art all day,” says Yuen, grinning as he sips water from one of his collectable china cups. Later, on our way to the photo shoot location, he divulges that he and now Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh are good friends, and he was close to Princess Diana.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“These people are my contemporaries, not just in terms of age, but also as fans of the arts. However, my parents advised me that in order to look young and feel young, I must expose myself to younger connections. This way, I can keep up with change and not be stuck in my comfort zone.” he says.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>He wears a traditional changsan, noting that he needs a birdcage and a fan to fully embrace the look. It is evident that while he is open to the current landscape, he still pays homage to his roots and appreciates his own culture. As a newly minted museum director, Yuen reflects on the evolution of the arts scene, particularly in Hong Kong.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“The hit musical Hamilton is a perfect example that art is inclusive and ever-evolving. Musicals now explore pop and rap styles of music. We really have to make art accessible everywhere, that’s the most important part. Hopefully, I can play a role in that. That’s why we are more ambitious than ever with the line-up for the French May Arts Festival.” he says.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>He also shares that beneath the foundations of the Hong Kong Arts Centre in Wan Chai is a time capsule put there by six people – one of whom just happens to be him.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hues of Happiness</h3>



<p>Yuen’s vision for the Hong Kong Palace Museum vibrates with colour, movement and textures – just like a work of art. He says: “There are only three Palace museums in the world – in Beijing, Taipei and now in Hong Kong. So I hope that the one in Hong Kong will be the bridge between the other two “Palace-tinians” – between China and Taiwan.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As a seasoned art collector, he reiterates that it is important to do your own research before purchasing. When you don’t know the market, it’s easy to fall for things just because they are buzzed about, especially on social media. “I recommend learning about art and artists online so the choices become your own,” he explains.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The adage that new collectors should spend a year looking and not buying rings truer than ever. While that may seem extreme, taking time to develop your eye is essential. Like many other things in life, it should be quality over quantity, too. He encourages art lovers to invest in fewer pieces that are of higher quality. Art is, after all, a purchase for life, so it is better to collect slowly with focus rather than to rush and take a more decorative approach. “Art should be something that talks to you,” he adds.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>He is clearly very proud of the Hong Kong Palace Museum, and on a smaller, though still substantial level, the art in his home. His collection delves deep into a style and an artist through gorgeous masterpieces. Works of art, more generally speaking, impact society, fostering economic, racial and social justice and educational advancement.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/ACK0881_copy_p_Gangup2_rgb-scaled-e1685672129374-1024x860.jpg" alt="andrew yuen" class="wp-image-75726" width="768"/></figure></div>


<p>His own Covid chronicle was both impactful and life-changing. Yuen caught the initial strain of the virus during the frightening pre-vaccine era. As many others who pull through serious illness would attest, it made him appreciate life even more than ever.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“Other than material things, I think what matters most is that we collect memories – memories that are precious yet priceless,” he says. “I am thankful that I always have the chance to be surrounded by family and friends. Above all the things here that glimmer and shimmer, the memories that I have, and am still collecting, will always be my number-one prized possessions.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>And so, like a rainbow in the sky, Andrew Yuen continues to colour his life with pure bliss and happiness.</p>

<p>Australian multimedia artist Patricia Piccinini is known for paintings and sculptures that touch on themes like bioethics and the dystopian future. Similarly, her first solo exhibition in Hong Kong will showcase her hyperrealistic explorations of history, technology and her outlook on an ideal world where humanity is lovingly united. With more than 60 works on display, art lovers can appreciate Piccinini’s brand of surrealism at its best.</p>

What’s on? Things to do this June in Hong Kong

<p>At the end of every single day, people desire to hit the bed and get a good night’s sleep. Sometimes, during a busy day at work, it is all we are looking forward to. Dorelan surely understands this and has built a reputation for making high-quality beds that help people sleep better. The brand takes every step and effort to ensure that anyone who sleeps on their bed has better sleep efficiency. In fact, their customers’ wellness is a top priority for them.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70865" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Ragazza_pag14-e1681459908615.jpg" alt="" width="768" height="512"></p>
<p>They achieve this by manufacturing all their beds in Italy and handpicking only the finest raw materials that are thoroughly checked ensuring that the final products boast a phenomenal quality.</p>
<p>Particularly, the craftsmanship of each bed follows the highest professional standards while combining the aesthetic appeal of art and scientifically backed and researched state-of-the-art techniques thus making sure that even their demanding customers end up truly appreciating their creations. More importantly, Dorelan maintains this standard by continuously researching and developing its products to an even better one.</p>

<p>In fact, cruises, hotels and boutiques understand and trust the Dorelan beds to the point that more than ten thousand organisations from the cruise and hotelier world continue to use their products.

Resort World Sentosa becomes the official hotel for Liv Golf Singapore

<p>Danish design company Normann Copenhagen takes pride in creating visually appealing furniture pieces that are also very ergonomic and practical. For its Spring 2023 collection, the brand has launched tables, chairs, lights, sofas, and other home products. For the brand’s future direction, it is only expected to get more premium and innovative with its original designs.</p>
<p>While we cannot wait to see all the fantastic contemporary designs that are yet to come, for now, let’s focus on some of the fabulous pieces from Normann Copenhagen’s Spring 2023 line.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70822 size-full" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/2022_Drape_Lounge_Chair_High_W_Headrest_Oak_Ultra_Leather_Brandy_41574_Ultra_Camel_41571_Jalousi_Sideboard_Grey_Eddy_Table_Lamp_Grey-e1681368289330.jpg" alt="Normann Copenhagen" width="500" height="677"></p>
<p><strong>Drape</strong> comes in two forms – <strong>Lounge Chair High</strong> and <strong>Lounge Chair Low</strong>. While the Lounge Chair High has an additional headrest allowing for more head-and-neck support, the latter looks more simple yet sleek.</p>
<p>Drape comes in different colours and fabrics, while also letting people choose between steel or oak legs. Whatever option you pick, every Drape chair boasts elegance and comfort with its soft curves and the brand’s precision in every detail of the design.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70821 size-full" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/2022_Ark_Modular_Sofa_3_Seater_Black_Steel_Ultra-leather_41571_02-e1681368348221.jpg" alt="Normann Copenhagen" width="768" height="552"></p>
<p><strong>Ark</strong> is the brand’s retake on modular sofa design. Ark has both high-density and low-density foam incorporated in the design to allow for a cosier sitting.</p>
<p>Its minimalist style along with all the jaw-dropping features like the powder-coated steel legs make Ark a simple-yet-sophisticated sofa to add to one’s living room. Best of all, Ark is created with adequate spacing between the cushion and the floor thus making it easier for cleaning.</p>
<p>Much like Drape, Ark is also available in various upholstery options, and whether you choose the end module, centre module, corner module, or all of them, there are hundreds of materials to choose from.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70823 size-full" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Ark_Modular_Sofa_Steelcut_Trio_3_133_Ark_Modular_Sofa_Hallingdal_65_110_Ark_Armchair_Canvas_2_134-e1681368389756.jpg" alt="Normann Copenhagen" width="768" height="626"></p>
<p><strong>Off Chair</strong> gets its inspiration from the need to work comfortably, so it follows the elements of an office chair with a more fashionable design front. It looks classy with its rounded rectangular shape.</p>
<p>Off Chair can be opted in either the fixed four-point legs or five legs with wheels, and people can also choose between having an armrest or not. Best suited for both office and home, every person sitting on Off Chair would most definitely appreciate its mechanical features and seamless look.</p>
<p><strong>Rib</strong>, which will remind you of the Nordic summerhouses in the 1960s, is the storage cabinet that features an appealing exterior design without compromising on its storage capacity. Given that it comes with detachable shelves, the Rib can be easily adjusted to the needs of each individual.</p>
<p>Rib has two renditions – the smaller one which is the <strong>Rib Cabinet</strong> and the larger one which is the <strong>Rib Sideboard</strong>.</p>
<p>One of the most classic pieces from Normann Copenhagen, <strong>Turn Table</strong> is back with its design elevated with designer Simon Legald adding two new colours – black marble and white marble.</p>
<p>Allowing for adjustable height via rotation, the Turn Table comes with a bell-shaped steel base that makes the table look stunning and sturdy at the same time.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70819 size-full" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/2021_Scala_Table_H75_O150cm_Marble_Coffee_Hyg_Dining_JA159_01-1-e1681368460234-1.jpg" alt="Normann Copenhagen" width="500" height="570"></p>
<p>As Normann Copenhagen defines it, the <strong>Scala table</strong> is the “ultimate adaptable table,” as these tables are made to fit the space of your choice. Besides letting people pick between oak or marble top with steel bases, each Scala table resembles your old-fashioned furniture design, perfect for people who appreciate classic and vintage designs.</p>
<p>To take a closer look at each piece, visit Normann Copenhagen’s showroom at 31 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai.</p>

<p>Art Central 2023 saw a dazzling reinterpretation of traditional Chinese aesthetics through the creation of a three-dimensional contemporary shanshui sculpture from copper wires and natural waste wood.</p>
<p>As the Lead Partner of Art Central, UOB presented Interwoven: Wired Shanshui &#8211; a large-scale interactive ink art installation by Hong Kong contemporary Chinese ink artist Margaret Yeung for the first time at the UOB Art Space. The installation, commissioned by UOB, comprises recycled copper wires and natural waste wood discarded from storms. It transforms the conventional viewing experience of a two-dimensional landscape painting into a three-dimensional contemporary shanshui.</p>
<p>Having spent months collecting her raw materials, the artist dedicated hours upon hours to delicately twist and bend the oxidised copper wires, exuding the same effect as painting lines with a brush dipped in Chinese ink. The upcycling of wood, remnants of typhoons past, resemble hills and mountains from a distance, as if drawn from a classical shanshui literati painting. The myriad colours of the copper wires are a result of variations in oxidation and humidity, emblematic of the wonderful&nbsp;landscapes of the four seasons.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70394 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/3-e1679474174183.jpeg" alt=" Wired Shanshui" width="768" height="512" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/3-e1679474174183.jpeg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/3-e1679474174183-450x300.jpeg 450w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/3-e1679474174183-600x400.jpeg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></p>
<p><strong>Amazing effect of copper wire</strong><br />
Margaret Yeung has a passion for sustainability and encompasses her ethos into her artwork. Her studio is based in an industrial area in Fotan and she became sad to see so much waste discarded, including copper wires.</p>
<p>Sha says, “So I collect this copper wire and take the copper wire outside and then I twist them into trees. When I twist them, I find ‘oh my God’ I am just doing something that traditional Chinese painters do. They paint trees with brush and ink. But I create trees with my copper wire. Just like an old Chinese painter drawing a tree.”</p>
<p>“Another point is that copper wire when it is oxidized it will turn from a golden colour to dark brown, or to black. So, it is a very amazing effect”</p>
<p>She is a devotee of traditional Chinese landscape painting and wants to pass this rich cultural legacy through the generations and this reinterpretation of traditional Chinese aesthetics is one of her ways of doing so.</p>
<p>Yeung reinterprets traditional Chinese landscape painting by embracing contemporary materials and technology of our times. Copper wires and Chinese painting are two seemingly disparate elements. By interweaving them the artist seeks to deliver ‘hybridity’, a peaceful coexistence of the natural and the man-made, of the traditional and the contemporary. The contrasting materials are interwoven in harmony, connecting the past, present, and future of traditional Chinese aesthetics, whilst highlighting the hopeful progress of sustainability and environmental protection.</p>
<p>“That is why I find that my artwork is very meaningful to me, because I am a Chinese artist. But I am now living in Hong Kong in the 21st century. I have to use materials of the times. That is why I reuse material. Because if we don’t have copper wire, we don’t have Wi-Fi, we don’t have lights, we don’t have air con,” she says.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70395 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1-1-e1679474219420.jpg" alt=" Wired Shanshui" width="768" height="512" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1-1-e1679474219420.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1-1-e1679474219420-450x300.jpg 450w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1-1-e1679474219420-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /><br />
<strong>Trees show the four seasons</strong><br />
Yeung enthusiastically points out that different trees are representative of the four seasons. A heavily oxidized golden leaf tree indicates autumn. “This kind of shape is an old Chinese ink painter’s tree, from the Ching dynasty,” says Yeung.</p>
<p>“Then this is the spring tree, you find that all leaves going upwards. Here is the summer – a tree just like fireworks.”</p>
<p>The trees positioned further back in the background are of a shaded blue colour, or bronze copper blue. “This is winter. They become blue because of the humidity; they turn blue naturally. I cannot control this.”</p>
<p>Her devotion to being a sustainable artist means that she seldom uses acrylic colours for her Chinese paintings on rice paper. She will collect rusted iron and then soak this in water and after about a month it becomes a home-made dark brown ink.</p>
<p>“When I mix them with Chinese ink, you will find very amazing effect on the rice paper. I cannot tell you how amazing it is. That is why I am a sustainability artist!”</p>
<p>Other artists now regularly give her their unused wood which she has used for sculptural works. “That is why it is very meaningful to me, because we can do art again and again and again,” she says.<br />
Yeung collaborated with and guided Guo Yin Kam, a student winner of the 2022 UOB Art in Ink Awards to create the Chinese ink art images for the digital interactive wall of the Interwoven: Wired Shanshui through UOB’s mentorship programme. The audience is invited to contemplate the harmony between man, nature and art through interaction with the installation.</p>
<p>This fits in with UOB’s theme at their booth this year which is sustainability from three perspectives: the environment, education, and D&amp;I, meaning diversity and inclusion.<br />
Further to this, the UOB Art Space contains 18 award-winning works from the 2022 UOB Art in Ink Awards, from calligraphy and painting to mixed media works spanning across the categories of Abstract, and Landscape or Figurative painting. Highlighted among the works featured is Melting Glacier by Christine Lee, winner of the 2022 UOB Ink Art of the Year Award. The artwork depicts a polar bear struggling to survive on a shrinking land of ice, aiming to convey the criticality of environmental protection. This is one of six of the artworks that have animation features.</p>


UOB Art Space showcases Margaret Yeung’s Wired Shanshui

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A season of generous proportions and &#8217;70s-inspired curves and impressions, offering a heightened perception of the period&#8217;s fashion. A season of unpretentious sophistication that favours responsible design without sacrificing Roche Bobois&#8217;s savoir independence.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With mineral tones, browns, yellows, and ochres &#8211; an earthy palette &#8211; offset by a plethora of blues, spring 2023 blows hot and cold while balancing well-researched shapes and avant-garde techniques.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Roche Bobois also keeps building on its successful, current collections. Through new finishes, the furniture is given a fresh perspective: cutting-edge fabric, and fresh hues whilst conjuring intriguing glass expressions on a number of pieces.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Numerous sofas by designer Mauziro Manzoni have garnered attention, most notably the modular and roomy A-PROPOS, which has strikingly simple lines. Ample volume is combined with simple lines in the modular sofa set.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christian Ghion is back at Roche Bobois with two distinctive pieces: the Sumito drinking table, named after a Japanese marble game, and the Autograph lamp, which resembles light painting in that it appears to create a line in the air.</span></p>

<p><strong>Roche Bobois of Paris would like to welcome the collaboration of Raphael Navot &#8211; the named designer of the year 2023.</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the Paris edition of Maison&amp;Objet in January 2023, Roche Bobois was delighted to collaborate with Raphael Navot.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Raphael Navot, who was named designer of the year, will present &#8220;The Apothem Lounge&#8221; on this occasion. By carefully arranging an open structure to flood people with light and texture, this impressive piece aims to elicit a visual feeling. It is a big, circular hall that enables visitors to explore interiors without regard for purpose or context, much as on a theatrical stage where the visitors are players.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The <strong>Dot</strong> armchair and the<strong> Parrot</strong> ottoman, both from the Nativ collection, are the seats offered by Roche Bobois in the Apothem Lounge. The 2018 Roche Bobois collection Nativ has organic, natural lines. It begins a conversation between nature and society, accented by geometric accuracy and impromptu forms. The result is jewellery produced from premium materials that combine unheard-of manual artistry with semi-industrial methods.</span></p>
<p><strong>About Raphael Navot</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Raphael Navot, a professional designer was born in Jerusalem in 1977 and attended the Design Academy in Eindhoven, Netherlands. He now resides and works in Paris. Along with the Hôtel National des Arts et Métiers and most recently the Hôtel Dame des Arts, which will debut on 1 February, he also developed the Silencio club in partnership with David Lynch. Additionally, he was responsible for the renovation of the inside of the famed Roche Bobois showroom at 207 Boulevard Saint-Germain.</span></p>

<p>The first stop to “The Midnight Secrets” is located in Gold Ball, 2/F of K11 Musea. With the name <em>Layer upon Layer, </em>this piece of digital art is created by K11 Art Foundation artist, Jiayu Liu. Each pixel and particle from the sand bed to the waves is derived from real-time environmental data and geographic coordinates of the banks of the River Spey in Speyside, Scotland, to transport discoverers to the turbulent waves that hold the magic and mysteries of Mortlach, divulging the intricate details of the 2.81 distillation process created by the first legal distillery in the town of Dufftown. Viewers will be introduced to the brand’s history and its unique distillation method named “The Way”. They will also be invited to reveal their midnight inner beast amid the River Spey with the AR Instagram Filter at the entrance of Gold Ball.</p>

MORTLACH REVEALS “THE MIDNIGHT SECRETS” IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE AT K11 MUSEA

<p>The Oriental Watch Company launched an advertisement campaign that encourages people to admire Hong Kong around them with four of their senses &#8211; sight, aroma, sound, and taste.</p>
<p>Naming the campaign <em>Take Your Time to Rediscover the City</em>, the bespoke horology brand has collaborated with Omelette Digital Agency to release four different videos each targeting a particular sensory organ.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="【Take Your Time to Listen - The Sound of 05:04】" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IKTRrD1sFuQ" width="750" height="450" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>One video titled <em>Take Your Time</em> <em>to Listen</em> has veteran tram driver Captain Luk Wenwei taking the viewers on a tram ride while he asks everyone to set aside their phones and pay close attention to the different sounds that the vehicle makes.</p>
<p>He adds that ding ding which is an onomatopoeia that is commonly associated with transport is not the only thing you can hear. There are other sounds like the coins shaking around in the money box and the tram moving on its tracks.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="【Take Your Time to See: The Sight of 19:30】" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pm_f8_-4BqY" width="750" height="450" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Another video called Ta<em>ke Your Time to See</em> features Wu Chi-Kai who has been crafting neon lights since he was 18.</p>
<p>While pointing to the radiating beauty of these neon lights, he also reminds people that these lights are not very common as they used to be. Hence, he asks people to observe the city around them and snap a photo whenever they see a neon light as it is definitely something special.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="【Take Your Time to Taste - The Taste of 11:00】" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eo8rWuyBxj4" width="750" height="450" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>For the tasting video, which is called <em>Take Your Time to Taste</em>, the Oriental Watch Company invited the Tsui brothers of the Milktealogy project who discuss Hong Kong’s buzzing tea culture which is locally referred to as the <em>Cha chaan teng</em> culture.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="【Take Your Time to Smell: The Aroma of 15:30】" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RYvCutlee3Q" width="750" height="450" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Then, for aroma, audiences see Jonathan, who co-owns an aromatherapy brand, in the <em>Take Your Time to Smell</em> video.</p>
<p>In this clip, he mentions the different smells people come across in just a single street in the city. He advises everyone to concentrate on the different scents as they can be pretty therapeutic.</p>
<p>This new campaign, which is an extension of the brand’s previous one <em>Take Your Time</em>, strives to bring out the charms of Hong Kong where the watch company gets its roots from.</p>

<p>One of the most prominent brands for maintaining quality in visual and audio products, Bang &amp; Olufsen introduces Beosound Theatre, a rule-defying soundbar that transforms the concept of home theatre with a style. Its modular keel-like design is intended to reflect the effortless grace of sailboats, giving the appearance of resting on a sheet of aluminium and floating in the air as a fluid form.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-69143" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Beosound-Theatre-0001-Sound-And-Vision-For-Your-Home-1-e1671691343676.png" alt="" width="700" height="525" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Beosound-Theatre-0001-Sound-And-Vision-For-Your-Home-1-e1671691343676.png 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Beosound-Theatre-0001-Sound-And-Vision-For-Your-Home-1-e1671691343676-450x338.png 450w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Beosound-Theatre-0001-Sound-And-Vision-For-Your-Home-1-e1671691343676-600x450.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
