For the newest location of The Great Room, a hospitality-inspired co-working space, our design goal was to ensure that an atmosphere of luxury was communicated right down to the accessories and accents. Based on materials, floor plans, cabinetry drawings, and mood boards provided by the client's interior designer, Joyce Wang Studio, we identified moments of impact for styling.

Our team put together a styling proposal driven by storytelling and attention to detail. We recommended complementary products from our portfolio as well as readily available retail and vintage items to add layers of texture.

We also commissioned items from emerging Korean and Singaporean designers to deepen the placemaking and ensure proportions matched the space. The project was installed by our team within five weeks to meet the launch date and first photo shoot.

We sourced and produced a unique range of decorative accents for Nickson Living, an interior services firm based in Texas that aims to give all renters the opportunity to live in the custom-designed fully furnished apartment of their dreams.

The monogrammed lamps, doormats, and flatware our team commissioned helped to cement Nickson's brand identity in their projects. We worked to hit specific delivered price points and negotiated with suppliers and logistics partners on behalf of our client. With the doormats, for instance, we achieved a 32% price reduction compared to their previous supplier. This also allowed them to achieve diversity and resilience in their supply chain during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Working with interior design firm MSDO, Vermillion styled the new APAC headquarters (12,000 sqft) of Cushman & Wakefield in Singapore. Our task was to ensure that each product added to the overall narrative determined by the client and enhanced the space designed by our interior design partner.

Taking cues from their developed design language, materials, floor plans, and shop drawings, we pulled together a styling proposal highlighting several of our products from across the region. Our scope included the decorative accessories and artwork for all the front-of-house reception spaces, the library, meeting rooms, and back-of-house pantry. From architecturally inspired embroidery works to textured vases and quirky wooden toys, each object was carefully chosen to reflect on the opportunities and potential our region has to offer.

Working in collaboration with the Kulor Group, an interior design firm based in Singapore, we styled The Great Room's most recent location in Singapore – a 4-storey shophouse, once home to the Eu Yan Sang flagship store.

The styling drew on the history of the building featuring a statement ceramic installation inspired by Chinese medicine, a gallery wall dedicated to archival photographs of the Chinatown area where the building is located, and locally crafted decorative accents that add depth and meaning to the storyline. We collaborated with a number of local artists, including ceramicist Gellyvieve and urban sketcher Stephanie Ng, on the project as a nod to the importance South Bridge Road, a hub of activity to this day, holds in the development of Singapore.

Founded in 1949, King Fook Jewellery Group is one of Hong Kong's most storied and trusted jewelers with multiple store locations across the city, featuring their signature luxury gold jewellery as well as international watch and jewellery brands, offering unsurpassed quality and professional VIP services.

We refreshed King Fook VIP in-store events with SAICHO tea-based beverages, and co-created unique and luxurious VIP gifting items customized with King Fook logo for their top 100-400 VIP members, within their budget and delivery timeline.

For King Fook’s flagship store renovation and re-opening event, we also sourced the gold gilding artisan to restore their storefront signage, after the artisan's father performed the original signage gilding ~20 years ago, which proved to be of historical and heritage significance, presented to great marketing effect with a historical documentary filmed based on the original signage restoration.

During Christmas 2022, Vermillion supported Hong Kong Golf & Tennis Academy (HKGTA) as their retail partner across both Sai Kung and Central Clubhouses for their Circus Tent-themed tree lighting ceremony and festive markets activation.

For top tier clientele, Vermillion collaborated with fellow Hong Kong F&B brand TOASST, where co-founders Christina and Amy, a contributing writer to Lifestyle Asia and Foodie Magazine, created a boutique wine Sommelier experience deliverable to one's doorstep.

To complement an Asian palate-inspired wine box set tastefully selected by TOASST, Vermillion thoughtfully compiled 3 sizes of Small, Medium and Large festive gift baskets packed with seasonal snacks and beverages, such as Frederic Blondeel, Reign Abalone, Or Tea?, CAMEL Flasks, PIN Cookies, Beams Coffee, NestBloom, Spark of Madness, AURUM.

After HKGTA Christmas fairs concluded, Vermillion continued to follow through end-to-end to ensured our goodie baskets were delivered on-time to clients' gift recipient addresses of choice throughout Hong Kong.
