Latest brand to wash up our shores - Hong Kong Lifestyle Label Goods of Desire

Hi Huneybees,

Nearly 16 years since the brand’s founding, Hong Kong lifestyle label Goods of Desire is finally ready to take its show on the road and bring a slice of the eclectic city-state to international audiences. With operations set to commence at the end of June, the brand’s first flagship store outside of Hong Kong will be nestled along the iconic Singapore River. Occupying a total retail floor area of more than 6,000 square feet at Central in Clarke Quay, the upcoming project will effectively be Goods of Desire’s fourth-largest store.

The Goods of Desire Mission
To define and create a new Asian identity through the delivery of a globally recognized lifestyle and furniture brand.

The Goods of Desire Ideology
Fusing the traditional and the modern, Goods of Desire combines past and present Asian culture, pioneering the future of lifestyle retailing with cutting edge designs. We aim to show that the techniques and wisdom of past generations in the East still have a place in the future. Drawing inspiration from the condensed urban jungles and serene rural environments which populate Asia while blending in a uniquely cultural sense of humour has made many of our products modern-day design icons.

Behind these products is a highly creative and energetic in-house team of designers; never outsourcing products from trade fairs, they ensure that the essence of the Goods of Desire brand is never diluted. We aim to send out a consistent message as a reassurance of the brand’s values in everything we touch. Our designers capitalize on the fact that genuine craftsmanship can still be accessed locally by commissioning some of the world’s best fabrics such as silk, linen, ceramics, and solid wood.

By giving these craftspeople modern designs while still honouring the tradition of their skills, Goods of Desire creates products that possess a very real, very human quality to them. We have proven ourselves to be a sustainable brand through 16 years of continuous, accelerated business growth. With 8 stores located in some of the most in-demand retail spaces in Hong Kong, we are poised to position ourselves for global expansion, creating a truly successful Asian retail export.

Quintessentially Hong Kong, the brand’s name is originally derived from the Cantonese phrase “住好啲”, which means “to live better”. In Singapore, the brand is officially represented as “Goods of Desire” to reflect its pioneering of the future lifestyle retail scene with cutting-edge designs that embody the ideal of living better, bringing in a broad range of Goods of Desire’s signature Fashion, Gift Ideas, Homeware, and Furniturecollections.

Co-founded by architects Douglas Young and Benjamin Lau in 1996 as a retail space in Ap Lei Chau (鴨脷洲), Goods of Desire presently has eight stores located throughout Hong Kong. Fiercely proud of its Hong Kong roots, Goods of Desire draws inspiration for its award-winning designs from the city’s vibrant heritage, preserving its unique cultural legacy through a lens of humor and creativity.

On Goods of Desire’s renown for controversial and tongue-in-cheek designs, and setting up shop in rule-laden Singapore, “Beyond the controversy and comedy of our designs, Goods of Desire is first and foremost about celebrating authentic Asian culture.” --- Douglas Young

Douglas Young

Born in Hong Kong (1965), Douglas Young trained as an architect in the United Kingdom at Sheffield University and the Architectural Association. Since 1991, Young has worked in Hong Kong on a variety of projects ranging from residential to retail interiors and won several prestigious awards.

Citing the deep similarities between Hong Kong and Singapore as the most compelling factor behind selecting the latter as the location for Goods of Desire’s first overseas store,  “Evolving from a colonial past to its present cosmopolitan climate, modern and undeniably Asian all at once, Singapore is truly an ethnic melting pot steeped in both tradition and innovation. It is a shame that we took so long to do this, given how many fans we know we have here. Nevertheless, it has always been my dream to show the rest of the world the Hong Kong I know, and I cannot think of a more perfect place to start with than Singapore.” --- Douglas Young

Textos lindos e doces…

 

E o mais bonito foi quando ela descobriu, que podia
ouvir e entender estrelas.
Só quem ama pode."

(Caio Fernando Abreu)

"Não é sempre
Que a ausência deixa saudades.
Às vezes ...
Ela deixa pedaços de vento,
Que atravessam os nossos silêncios. ”

(Bruno de Paula )

"Com as leves
asas do amor transpus estes muros, porque os
limites de pedra não
servem de empecilho para o amor. E o que o amor
pode fazer, o amor
ousa tentar."

-W. Shakespeare-

Meu Deus, não sou muito forte,
não tenho muito além de uma certa fé...
não sei se em mim, se numa coisa que chamaria de justiça-cósmica,
ou a coerência final de todas as coisas.
Preciso agora da tua mão sobre a minha cabeça.
Que eu não perca a capacidade de amar, de ver, de sentir.
Que eu continue alerta.
Que, se necessário, eu possa ter novamente o impulso do vôo no momento exato.
Que eu não me perca, que eu não me fira, que não me firam, que eu não fira ninguém. Livra-me dos poços e dos becos de mim, Senhor.
Que meus olhos saibam continuar se alargando sempre."

(Caio Fernando Abreu)

Não sou pra todos e Avesso

Não sou pra todos.
Gosto muito do meu mundinho.
Ele é cheio de surpresas, palavras soltas e cores misturadas.
Às vezes tem um céu azul, outras tempestade.
Lá dentro cabem sonhos de todos os tamanhos,
mas não cabe muita gente.
Todas as pessoas que estão dentro dele não estão por acaso.
São necessárias.

(Caio Fernando Abreu)

Avesso

pode parecer promessa
mas eu sinto que você é a pessoa
mais parecida comigo
que eu conheço
só que do lado do avesso
pode ser que seja engano
bobagem ou ilusão
de ter você na minha
mas acho que com você eu me esqueço
e em seguida eu aconteço
por isso deixo aqui meu endereço
se você me procurar
eu apareço
se você me encontrar
te reconheço.

Se Perguntarem por mim

Se Perguntarem por mim
Diga que estou em retiro
Pra dentro de mim
E não sei o q encontrarei aqui
Sei apenas q tenho um coração machucado
Então,se perguntarem por mim
Diga q fui a praia
Mergulhei nas águas dos meus sentimentos
E estou aprendendo a nadar
Mas ñ comente por favor
Detesto dar explicações
Ou diga q estou num safári
E estou mesmo!
Estou caçando a pessoa q fui
E descobrindo como sou
Entre os escombros da minha vida
Melhor..
Se perguntarem por mim
Diga que fui pescar
Estou pescando mesmo!
Relaxadamente à beira do lago da mente
Separando os cardumes
Observando, catalogando
E me preparando pra voltar ao dia a dia
Isso se perguntarem por mim!
Porque nesse momento
Quero que até o meu nome descanse.

Interview with Pixie Lott

Hi Huneybees,

Yesterday, I blogged about Pixie Lott's packed schedule in Singapore last week and I'm very happy I got the chance to do a short interview with Pixie Lott through email, all thanks to Universal Music and the pretty Pixie Lott for taking time and making this happen...

1.    Why name your album Young Foolish Happy?  
I named this album after a song from when I was growing up by the Tams, "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy" - a good message to everyone.

2.    Which is your favourite song in the album?  
"We Just Go On"

3.    How did the collaboration with G.Dragon and T.O.P. come about? What was the most challenging obstacle that you have to overcome while working with them?  
I love K Pop and really wanted to collaborate with K Pop artists.  I liked Big Bang's music and so it was arranged for this to happen, there was no obstacles.

4.    Which artiste would you wish to work with? And why?  
I have collaborated with Stevie Wonder on "Young, Foolish, Happy" where he plays the harmonica on the middle 8 but would love to collaborate with him where he sings. :)

5.    You call your fans Crazy Cats and you wear cat ears, why the feline obsession?  
When I was young my mum called my sister, brother and I crazy cats as we was always running around everywhere.  Crazy cats just stuck and then all my friends started to use it!.

6.    You have an amazing figure! What's your secret - any exercise/diet regime to share - to maintain that body?  
I do try to eat healthy and drink water.

7.    Thank you Pixie Lott for you time, what’s your shout-out to you Crazy Cats out there?  
Hi to all my Singapore Crazy Cats, thank you for all your support and welcoming me into your beautiful country, Love Pixie XOXO
