ABOUT AB CONCEPT

AB Concept works on a global scale with offices in Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, London and Milan, serving clients in 16 countries and over 30 cities, from holiday destinations such as Algarve and Saint-Jean Cap-Ferrat to gateway cities like London, New York, Shanghai, and Tokyo.

Recent projects include the acclaimed Paper Moon Giardino restaurant in Milan, Lalique's flagship store in Shanghai, and the bar Argo at the Hong Kong Four Seasons, named one of the world's top 50 bars. Ultimately, design is about being. In addition to spatial design, the studio continues to develop a portfolio of design products.

With a reputation for exceptional design projects and a commitment to innovation, AB Concept continues to explore what design can do, not what it looks like. www.abconcept.net | @ab_concept
