Behind the Scenes with Cochine Founder, Kate Crofton-Atkins

What are 3 words you'd use to describe the brand?

Evocative, chic, timeless

How do you come up with the ideas for your fragrances?

My travels around south east Asia are what inspire each scentI love finding new and different flowers and oils and using them in fragrance to transport people to a particular place, feeling or time of day. The jasmine we use in our White Jasmine & Gardenia scent for example is called Champa Jasmine and is from southern Vietnam and I used to smell it every morning when cycled to the bakery at the end of our street in Saigon.

Each of the key notes in our fragrances is inspired by life in the tropics, and designed to transport you to faraway places. It usually takes up to two years for us to develop a new fragrance from initial inspiration to the final scent. There are many stages involved to ensure that each note compliments each other and that each scent has a real sense of uniqueness.

What are your top tips on using fragrances at home?

I actually love to mix different scented products in the same room, so might have a rich, woody diffuser in our living room like our Agarwood & Amber, which is a beautiful scent for these colder months, and then light a lovely white floral candle like White Jasmine & Gardenia to give a burst of floral notes. I tend to light a candle for an instant burst of fragrance whereas our diffusers are perfect for long-lasting scents. I also switch round fragrances according to the time of year so I’ll have more warming woody fragrances at this time of year and then switch to lighter, floral scents as it gets warmer

What are your best-sellers?

White Jasmine & Gardenia is a consistent best seller for us as it is our signature scent. Water Hyacinth & Lime Blossom is another popular scent as it is truly unique to Cochine and is very reminiscent of the scents of the tropics.

We have a limited edition Holiday candle, Orange Amère & Star Anise, which we bring out each year between October and December and this is always a best seller for us as it’s so distinctively ‘Holiday’ and yet not like any other Holiday candle

What was the inspiration behind the design of your iconic packaging?

Why did you start Cochine?

When created our first Cochine fragrances, my aim was to bring the inescapable romance of the tropics and the unique scents and oils I had discovered in Asia to customers around the world. We use flowers from places undiscovered by most fragrance houses to create scents that are really distinctive

decided how wanted the packaging to look very early onwanted to find something to recreate the beautiful shagreen accessories and furniture that I’d discovered and fallen in love with in Vietnam- and I found this faux shagreen paper which captured this perfectly. also knew I wanted to incorporate a beautiful celadon green to reflect the pale green shutters of our house in Saigon. I loved the idea of using a tassel with the special knot design as I thought this was very uniquely Asian and very different to anything I’d seen before. I love that people re-use our Cochine boxes for years to come- as storage boxes, pencil pots, make up pots- and even re-use our candle glasses and diffuser bottles as make up brush pots and bud vases

Studio 54 Dining Room

On The Scene with Bamboo Scenes Madelon de Grave Meet

Founder of Bamboo Scenes

Tell us a bit about yourself and background?

I’m originally from the Netherlands and with Indonesian roots. From a young age, I developed a strong appetite to discover the world and a desire to always follow my heart. After a series of transformative experiences around the world - with two years in Guatemala, a stretch in Buenos Aires, Amsterdam, Shanghai and more - I eventually arrived in Hong Kong in 2015.

Driven by my passion for photography and storytelling, I felt the need to offer a more accessible way for art enthusiasts around the world to engage with Hong Kong’s vibrant art scene. It was then that the idea of Bamboo Scenes was born

Tell us about Bamboo Scenes and what inspired you?

I founded Bamboo Scenes in 2017 as a Hong Kong-based curator of exceptional local photography art. With our collection of highly curated photography art prints, art enthusiasts around the world can discover Hong Kong through the eyes of the most

exciting local artists, and acquire a piece of art that truly speaks to them.

Each art print is a limited edition of 50 and is made using certified Hahnemühle Fine Art Paper. Our custom frames are all handmade to order and come in three colours (Black, White, and Natural Wood).

My inspiration comes from unfolding stories and working alongside creatives who pursue their passion in life. And to truly appreciate art, I believe you have to go beyond the visual to create a compelling, emotional connection. With specially crafted videos and written content, we aim to tell the stories and push the boundaries of what people think photography art can be.

Can you tell us about the 2 latest photographers that will be featured at Indigo Living?

I am very excited to see Bamboo Scenes partner with Indigo Living, a fantastic homegrown brand, to create a truly immersive art experience. For our second exhibition with Indigo Living, we

will be featuring two amazing photography artists from Hong Konglandscape photographer Kelvin Yuen and urban artist Vivien Liu.

Kelvin Yuen his focus is on capturing the city’s rugged wilderness from places like Sai Kung, Tsing Yi, the Eagle’s Nest Nature Trails, and the Peak. He won his first award, in the Young Division of the 2015 National Geographic Photo Contest, at just 19 with a captivating nightscape shot from Kowloon Peak. He is best known for his stunning nightscape image “Magical Night”, that won him the 2020 International Landscape Photographer of the Year award.

Vivien Liu channeled her love of architecture into a passion for photographing the urban scenes of cities around the world. She has a unique perspectives of one of the world’s most built-up cities. In 2016, she founded Studio UNIT, an architecture, interior, and portrait photography studio, through which she has worked with international clients like Nikon, Leica, Jack Daniels, American Express, and Huawei.

How do you select / find your photographers? What do you look for?

We put a lot of emphasis on curating an exceptional collection of photography art, and that’s why we work with an exclusive selection of artists. Not only do we try to curate photography art prints that capture the essence of Hong Kong, but we look for artists and artworks that have a story to tell.

That’s why all of our eight award-winning artists are professionals who have honed their own unique styles and become pioneers in their field.

Lastly, tell us 1 secret find in Hong Kong ?

My secret find in Hong Kong is definitely picturesque but more importantly… it is tasty! One of my favourite places to experience Hong Kong is at Sing Heung Yuen, a “dai pai dong” tucked away on Mee Lun Street in Central. With small chairs and tables set out on the pavement, the ladies running the space always make me feel at home and offer me the most genuine experience I ever had in the city.

DESIGN & BUILD

Indigo’s latest home project was to renovate, design and style a luxe 1,400 sq ft, 3 bedroom apartment in the prestigious Mid-Levels, Hong Kong district. We sat down with Elf Chow, Indigo’s Interior Design Manager to discuss the design inspiration behind this 6 month project

Their overall design inspiration was to recreate that chic, relaxed, boutique hotel style comfort and class in a cosy, home setting. With this in mind they focussed on a variety of different wood veneers and textiles and contrasted this with slim, elegant metal accents to create that sleek, boutique hotel vibe.

What was the design brief from your client?

Mr and Mrs Choy had a very clear design industrial design direction for their home. Whilst not our usual “Indigo” look, our Indigo Design Team are both flexible and creative. Our projects are never limited by our Indigo look and as part of the Design team it is important that we work with our clients to deliver the style that they’re looking for.

What was your design inspiration?

While Mr and Mrs Choy knew they wanted an industrial look, it was also key to ensure their home wasn’t too raw and cold. The Design Team took this into consideration and toned down some raw elements by adding modern touches, accents and natural materials which created balance and a softness to the space.

Can you tell us a bit about some of the key features?

The multifunctional room is a highlight. It can be transparent while the owner is working and opens up the space for working

from home and can be fully opened up to create one large space when entertaining at home. Using interior lines we were able to frame and differentiate various living spaces yet unite them all for continuity by having the ceiling feature connect them all.

What was the most challenging part of the project for you?

The space had a very low ceiling, which made the space feel smaller than it should. It was thus, important then for us to extend that spatial feeling horizontally instead of vertically. Our solution was to have a wooden ceiling extend all the way through into the multifunctional room. This also helped to balance the darker elements with some light space and transparency in order to help the space breathe.

What was your favourite part of the project?

The Client – Mr and Mrs Choy ! They had a clear direction but were also very open to new ideas which allowed us to provide the best solution for them.

“We hired INDIGO to handle an extensive interior remodelling of our house. INDIGO made an anticipated stressful process into an enjoyable experience for our family, INDIGO has differentiated itself from typical designers or furniture houses by offering a one-stop, full spectrum lifestyle, home decor service. INDIGO didn’t just read and understand our expectations, they more importantly, combined high level professionalism and personal home decor services to make us a dream home!

It has been a wonderful experience from the moment we walked into the INDIGO office and saw our rednerings to the moment when Cliff and Elf (our account manager and designer, respectively) handed over the keys to our new home. They were willing to listen, were responsive and passionate, and offered excellent design ideas. We are absolutely THRILLED with their work!”

CRAFTED CUSHIONS

Over the years our on-trend, sought-after, embroidered cushions have become part of the Indigo DNA.

Each season we have around 40 new designs! We’re often asked about the story behind them, so have put together a few fun and interesting facts about the story behind our designs and where they come from.

1

Most of our cushions are crafted in India. The designs and patterns you see come from a mix of our in-house designers who develop patterns based on our upcoming home trends; and also from our long-term partners in India who draw their inspiration from traditional Indian arts and contemporary geometrics.

2

The embroidery on the cushions employ century old Indian techniques and the stunning beaded work is done by hand by experienced, individual craftsmen – making each one slightly unique.

3

Cushion covers, especially the beaded pieces, can take up to 10 hours per piece to create.

4

From concept to store our cushions can take up to 70- 80 days to produce. We work on the designs & mix of colours, then pick the threads and dyes which are then produced in India. They then go through a quality check before getting on a plane and into our stores.

The Secret Behind 's Stunning, sustainable accessories Jeanine

the scenes with niin’s founder and creator

Tell us a bit about yourself?

I studied Fashion Design at Central St Martins in the UK and gained experience working with the Vienna costume workshops for the Burgtheater and the Salzburg Festivals as well as with such brands as Vivienne Westwood, Bora Aksu and Warren Noronha. started the niin brand offically in 2009 once moved back to HK from London to be with my family, and enjoy the fast pace of HK life

How did you come to start NIIN?

What was your journey?

After seeing the amount of waste the fashion industry created first hand, decided it was time for change and started niin to offer people more sustainable, environmentally-friendly fashion. I wanted the key ethos behind the brand to be to ‘tread lightly on the earth’ and sought to create artisan jewellery that combines natural materials and a light environmental footprint.

How do you come up with your designs and where do you find inspiration?

I'm very much inspired by the materials that I come across that are either discarded or found. Having said that my fashion design background plays a big part in my design process and aesthetic. like combining new materials wherever possible.

How long do your boxes and trays take to make from concept to production?

Generally from the moment I first sketch some ideas to the first production delivery it's about 5 months depending on the location of the craftsmen.

How are your pieces produced?

If have sourced the raw materials, Ill sketch designs accordngly and give the materils to the makers to re-work into and add the elements missing. We have a few workshops who help to make the different styles, depending on my designs so Ill spend a lot of time co-ordinating between them too to get the finished pieces to a finish which is 'up to scratch.'

Where do you usually find and source your materials such as abalone and wood?

Other than these 2 what other materials do you like to work with?

The abalone shells are sourced from HK restaurants and the driftwood is found on various beaches around Asia. There is a community of fishermans wives also in the philippines who help to source the driftwood. You can't design jewellery without enjoying working with precious metals, and gemstones as well of course!

Which charities do you support and why?

niin works with various charities to raise awareness and funds for environmental causes including the likes of WWF Hong Kong, The Nature Conservancy, Cuipo, Bloom, Plastic Oceans, and The Shark Foundation; as well as local Hong Kong charities including The Women’s Foundation, and Hong Kong Adventist Hospital Foundation. Through our work hope to continue to spread a message of positivity and the importance of protecting and preserving the environment and our global community.

Describe yourself in 3 words?

I'll choose: CREATIVE, SPONTANEOUS, OPEN (positive and negative!)

Can you share any exciting things you have planned for 2022?

Yes - this year we are expanding our homewares range after such a positive reaction to the first pieces. We're also introducing more gentle / lab-grown diamonds into the range and we're continuing to ensure that we're working with the most sustainable materials and processes we can find.

Dining Chairs

From long lazy breakfasts, casual lunches and elegant dinner parties to game nights and working from home, the dining room has become the heart and epicenter of most homes.

While the dining table usually takes priority when selecting your key feature, dining chairs shouldn’t be an afterthought. Here are a few top tips on how to create that perfect gathering spot and a guide to some of our most popular chairs.

1 MEASURE, MEASURE, MEASURE

Our no.1 tip is to measure and not just eye ball or guess the space you need. Consider how many chairs you’ll have around the table, what will fit and if you’re going for a chair with arm rests – measure the height of these!

A general guide is : 25.5cm of leg space (the space between the seat and the dining table) and 60 cm of width space for each guest, as well as 60cm of space behind to allow your guests to get in and out.

If you’re going for a circular dining table be cautious of squeezing too many seats around it - it will easily look over crowded. Or if you have a large table, ensure you have enough seats. Remember, it’s all about balance.

2 MATERIAL MATTERS

Upholstered chairs are always on trend and can range from luxe and plush velvets to practical, easy to clean fabrics. Consider your family and what works well in your household. Got cats? Opt for more durable chairs with metal, brass or wooden legs. Young children? Think easy to wipe down materials like leathers and washable fabrics. Either way, there are a variety of materials out there to suit your needs.

3 MATCHED-UP OR MIS-MATCHED

Choosing your chair arrangement can help define your style. Mismatched chairs work great with an industrial, vintage or electic dining room table and look.

For smaller spaces, go for benches or dining chairs without arms. However, for something more elegant and easy to manage we recommend to have matching chairs.

What makes Cocoon Concept lighting unique?

Cocoon is focused on the design and development of well designed, beautiful, high quality crafted portable lights that offer versatility and portability at reasonable pricing.

What are your top 3-5 tips when it comes to using lighting to create ambience?

Lighting is quite personal and depends on the usage that you require.

1. In general, I like to recommend indirect lighting to avoid having the light glare directly in your eyes (even when you are using powerful spotlights; try to keep them pointed on the walls or ceiling).

2. Also, try to use dimmers. Either on the fixture itself, or as a switch on the main-power. This will allow greater flexibility to match your mood or needs.

3. Choose a constant light temperature colour. No matter if you prefer cold or warm tones, make sure that you are using a similar colour all around.

Lighting the Scenes with Cocoon Concept Founder,

Nicolas Pollet

Tell us a bit about who you are and how you got started?

As a child, I always had a strong connection and call to the outdoors and nature. My father taught us about respecting and appreciating the planet and our surroundings. He made it a point to highlight its raw beauty and this lesson is something that has stuck with me throughout the years.

20 years ago, life brought me to HK and after working a few years for a lighting manufacturing company and a couple more years backpacking around the globe I combined my experience into Cocoon Concept

What inspired cocoon concept and what was your first product?

For more than 15 years, we have developed and produced outdoor furniture and accessories with a unique sleek design and long-lasting value. The starting point was the development of a rechargeable, water resistant LED module that could be clipped onto multiple shades.

This concept was quite revolutionary at the time. Over the years, similar products were developed; but we are proud to say that, our Cocoon portable lights are still a favourite for many hotels and restaurants around the globe.

When selecting outdoor lighting what things should someone consider before buying?

Remember that flexibility is key. The more flexible the better. Portable, dimmable, etc … you want freedom. Darker, non-easy stainable finishes are also usually better suited for the outdoors and require less maintenance and upkeep.

Finally, watch the electricity usage. Old incandescent powerful bulbs might cost you quite a bit after sometimes while LED low wattage newer options might be more expensive but worst the investment after a short while.

Indigo Living's Furniture Rental Expert Answers Your Questions

People

This trend is primarily driven by those not wanting to be tied down, unsure of when they’ll be moving countries, prefer to be eco-conscious and yet do not want to sacrifice their interior style.

Gloria Cheng our Indigo furniture specialist tells us more about this growing trend and all the benefits it brings.

Which pieces of furniture do you rent out the most?

"Most of our clients will go for full house packages, including furniture, kitchenware, electronics and bedlinen. Most people prefer to furnish the whole apartment because it’s hassle-free; this way, their home is ready to move into when they arrive. It’s one less worry when they’re planning their move, especially if they’re coming from overseas."

For how long do people normally rent, and why?

It really depends on each client’s individual needs. Some rent furniture and household items on a short-term basis – one month or more – and this is often while they wait for their shipments to arrive. Some clients will also rent beds from us on a short-term basis, if they have guests coming to stay, for example. Or they will rent dining chairs and dinnerware from us for parties. Some clients, meanwhile, go for long-term rentals; one year or more. Expats moving to Hong Kong from overseas will often rent in order to avoid finding that their furniture from home doesn’t fit in their new flat, or to prevent their furniture from being damaged in the shipping process. Landlords often come to us for furniture rentals for their tenants, because individual tenants tend to have such different requirements. Our long-term lease can run in compliance with apartment leases, too.

What changes and issues has Covid-19 had on the Furniture rental business?

We have noticed the shipping costs have gone up, availabilities to book them are rare and subject to a number of delays. This has meant that people relocating are preferring and opting to lease furniture more , as it is convenient and more cost effective. Also, as a number of expatriates leave HK there are now more landlords opting to rent furniture to help showcase their property and make it more appealing on the rental market.

Has your furniture rental customer changed in 2021-2022?

We have seen an increase in millennials and young couples preferring to rent. For them it’s all about total flexibility and affordability. Most millennials are opting to rent their apartment and prefer practical, functional pieces that are on trend but given smaller spaces, there are limitations to what they can choose. Indigo’s new small apartment living collections offer them what they need without having to compromise on style or budget. Monthly leasing also makes it easier on their cashflow with the option to purchase the pieces at the end of their lease.

How much notice do you need?

How long does it take to go from someone picking the furniture and ordering it to delivery? We need as little as five working days’ notice. Of course, the earlier you inform us of your delivery and pick-up dates, the sooner we can check availability and reserve your chosen date and time. Our reservation system runs on a first come, first-reserve basis. We offer flexible leasing terms, lease extensions, maintenance services throughout your contract and we can set it all up so you feel at home the moment you walk through the door. All with no minimum monthly rental fee. We can easily work within your budget, and we have a comprehensive team on hand for support. Plus, we offer design consulting services to help you achieve your dream look. And lastly, if you really love your furniture at the end of your contract, we offer buy-back options.
