Who designs your products?
We have our own in-house designers but we also work with other local and international designers. Here in Hong Kong we work with Milk, a design company founded by Lee Chi-wing. And now we are collaborating with Tracy Hollins and Simon Stevens, both from the UK. Our patterns are either in-glaze or on-glaze.
How long does it take for a product to go from the drawing board to the shelf?
Quite a long time! The whole process takes 9 to 12 months.
How would you describe your style?
I think our products have a more European feel than an American one – even though our most successful product, the Miix tea set created by Milk, has been for sale at MoMA in New York for a couple of years. In Europe people look for long lasting style and the market is dominated by small shops. This suits us given our production time, where as in the US, department stores rule and collections have to be renewed every 6 months.
Where can your products be bought?
Quite a few places around Hong Kong and in Mailand China (including one store in Beijing). Our products are also on sale at Liberty in London and at MoMA in New York.
