Built for a private car collector in Hong Kong, the elegant showroom is designed for pure indulgence.
The design firm’s founder Maxime Dautresme was inspired by the mechanical aspects of cars when engineering the layout of the space. The showroom is located on two floors; the ground floor has a 1950s-inspired aerodynamic design with stainless-steel car elevators, cast-concrete walls, a 10-foot-wide ceiling fan, and timber paneling to offset the industrial feel.
The upstairs floor is home to the private owner’s lounge and the majority of the car collection. This level exudes warmth, with its rich wooden flooring, walls, and shelving, all emphasized by strategically placed dimmed lighting for a sexy atmosphere that encourages you to linger. The lighting was inspired by retro motoring and fixtures resemble heads and taillights of cars, as well as lanterns with a gyroscope that you can rotate to dim.
The lounge and furnishings are sumptuous and luxe, with lounge chairs, couches, and banquettes made from the finest leather, canvas, and teak. Similar to luxury cars, every aspect of the showroom emphasizes fine craftsmanship and extreme attention to detail. Even the fixtures and furniture choices were inspired by classic cars, like cabinetry handles inspired by those on a Zagato and armchairs that pay homage to the Ferrari Dino.
