  • Casa Mollino

    Casa Mollino remained a mystery until after the death of the designer in 1973. Only in 1999 did it pass into the hands of Ferrari, who has a similarly diverse background to Mollino, having been a chemist, restaurateur and design dealer. With the help of the meticulous inventory of the property made by Mollino’s lawyers, he was able to recreate the original appearance of the apartment and open it to the public by appointment. While renovating the interiors, Ferrari discovered the cover of a book by Mollino, titled Il Messaggio Dalla Camera Oscura (‘The Message from the Dark Room’), depicting the head of an Egyptian queen. This reference to Egyptian funerary art became the key to decoding a series of symbols, which suggest Mollino’s project was conceived in the manner of a Pharaoh’s pyramid, as an intended final resting place.

    Salon No.10 is a private member’s salon—a gathering place for the city’s creative professionals, connoisseurs, international entrepreneurs and discerning travelers. set within the clamor of Central Hong Kong. Passing through the massive, hatch-like front door, one feels as if one has entered another space and time. The noise and traffic of Arbuthnot Road, visible through the window, seems distant and unreal, as if one has dropped twenty fathoms under the sea on a timeless subterranean journey to a far away place.

  • An Apartment by R. Schindler

    In this apartment by Rudolph Schindler, the wood-paneled walls and natural light create a comfortable space that brings us closer to nature. A stool by J.B. Blunk sits in front of the built-in sofa, next to a pair of Frank Lloyd Wright tables.

    A seamless integration with nature is one of Schindler’s values in architecture and can be found in most of his projects across Southern California.
