Is it someone who rewrites history and molds an era? Or is it someone who abides by their principles and strives to create beauty in the midst of the mundane? When I proposed the question to Andr\u00e9 at his studio, he said, \u201cI always maintain a learner\u2019s mindset. Sometimes, after receiving awards, I think back to the designers I&#8217;ve always admired\u2014those heroes who conveyed emotion and embodied the spirit of their times. Can I use design to capture the essence of an era?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussing the reasons for his awards, Andr\u00e9 believes it is because his aesthetics resonate with contemporary values. He admits that he cares more about whether the design qualities and aesthetics he radiates are genuine and pure. \u201cI\u2019m not interested in showing off; I hope that each piece can convey a sincere feeling. Sometimes I see people on social media tagging hotels that I designed during their travels, as well as my studio&#8217;s brand, which shows me that people relate to my design philosophy.\u201d His eyes reflect a calm and profound light, characteristic of the humble and dutiful individual Andr\u00e9 is known to be. His distinctive aura\u2014much like the spaces he designs\u2014feels comfortable and warm. \u201cI have always hoped that those who enter the spaces I\u2019ve designed will feel a natural sense of comfort and affinity. The concept of &#8216;Relaxed Luxury&#8217; has guided me for over ten years and hasn&#8217;t faded with time. Each city has its own temperament and rhythm, like the leisure of Taipei and the convenience of Hong Kong. I aim to incorporate such feelings into my work to create a sensory and profound experience.\u201d Each space becomes a vessel of emotion; it\u2019s not merely about a design layout, but a way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I have always hoped that those who enter the spaces I\u2019ve designed will feel a natural sense of comfort and affinity. The concept of Relaxed Luxury has guided me for over ten years and hasn&#8217;t faded with time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>A graduate of the architecture department at Cambridge University, Andr\u00e9 previously worked for renowned architect John Pawson, and is one of the founders of Andr\u00e9 Fu Studio design company. His practice spans major cities like London, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, focusing primarily on the interior design of high-end restaurants, bars, and hotels. Having gone from being recognised as one of the most promising Asian designers by leading travel and design publications, to becoming a top interior designer in the industry, Andr\u00e9 acknowledges that his career choice is a long-term commitment. \u201cEvery promise, every project is a long-term investment and a waiting game. Some projects may take seven years to complete; this persistence isn&#8217;t about seeking short-term exposure but about being true to oneself. I just want to focus on the present moment because I believe every achievement is the result of years of accumulation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amidst this fast-paced society, Andr\u00e9 views interior design as a practice of self-cultivation that ceases to waver in the face of change. \u201cI believe the classic quality of a space lies not in its striking appearance but in its ability to resonate throughout the ages. Designing a space takes time. Many young designers ask me for advice, and it&#8217;s actually very simple: Endurance is crucial. Quick success is certainly tempting, but true value is shaped through long-term dedication and perseverance.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Many young designers ask me for advice, and it&#8217;s actually very simple: Endurance is crucial. Quick success is certainly tempting, but true value is shaped through long-term dedication and perseverance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>With Andr\u00e9&#8217;s work continuing to expand towards all corners of the globe, he is currently working on several design projects in Japan and beyond. He emphasises that design should not simply be surface imitation, but rather a practice centred by a profound understanding of local culture that brings new life to a space. He finds fulfillment in incorporating personal emotions and stories into each project, transforming the space into a unique vessel of time. &#8220;Throughout this process, I&#8217;ve learned about respect and inclusivity. Every culture is a story, and every space is a chapter. I hope to integrate local culture into my designs for a fresh perspective. Each project is a gamble; you never know what the outcome will be, but that uncertainty is what is most compelling. Every investment involves a challenge and a learning opportunity for me.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With regards to leading his team, he believes that true leadership stems from a passion and dedication to the work. &#8220;When you&#8217;re enthusiastic about what you do, you can inspire those around you. Of course, I also have my ups and downs, but I believe that every problem has a solution. What&#8217;s important is to make everyone feel that their role in the process is valuable,&#8221; Andr\u00e9 says with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his globetrotting lifestyle, Andr\u00e9\u2019s roots are planted firmly in Hong Kong. Even as the city evolves and changes with the times, it is these shifts that enable him to experience the nuances of each moment. &#8220;Hong Kong is where my career began, and I will never forget my first design project: the Upper House Hotel. It remains one of my favourite works. I was just over thirty at the time, and I was quite nervous because I had never designed for a hotel before, and nobody really knew what the Upper House should look like. But on the other hand, as a designer born in Hong Kong, I felt incredibly proud to be part of such a meaningful and challenging project.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a starting point, a moment to be grateful for and one that Andr\u00e9 will always cherish. It was this design experience in Hong Kong that paved the way for his creative growth. As our interview was coming to an end, he shared that he is preparing to launch a publication that reflects his latest views on design and life. We both agreed that the physical qualities of a book, the warmth of its words, and the beauty of its layout all require time and thought to create, much like interior design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During my conversation with Andr\u00e9 Fu, he conveyed a designer\u2019s reflections on life, the times, and aesthetics with unwavering warmth and depth. Sometimes, a hero doesn\u2019t need to change the world in drastic ways; often, it\u2019s about showcasing the world\u2019s diversity in their unique way. Andr\u00e9 Fu embodies that philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photography: Olivia Tsang<br>Styling: Sing Lei<br>Make up &amp; hair: Constance Chan<br>Fashion Assistant: Nicholas Chan<br>Photographer Assistant: Tommy Ng<br>Wardrobe: Loro Piana<\/p>\n\n\n    <div id=\"featured-post-block_2eab6101c83b758215c1c60b06df22e6\" class=\"featured-post-block\">\r\n        <article class=\"featured-post\">\r\n            <div class=\"relatedWrapBox\">\r\n                <span class=\"relatedTitle\">\r\n                    Related Articles\r\n                <\/span>\r\n                <div class=\"post-category-related\">\r\n                    Lifestyle                <\/div>\r\n                <h3 class=\"post-title\">\r\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/en\/lifestyle-en\/who-are-gq-hong-kongs-local-heroes\">\r\n                        Who Are GQ Hong Kong\u2019s \u201cLocal Heroes\u201d?\u00a0                    <\/a>\r\n                <\/h3>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"featured-post-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/en\/lifestyle-en\/who-are-gq-hong-kongs-local-heroes\">\r\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/MOTY-website_1600x680.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                    <\/article>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n\n    <div id=\"featured-post-block_60803d254c81078c6a9cf1980246abbd\" class=\"featured-post-block\">\r\n        <article class=\"featured-post\">\r\n            <div class=\"relatedWrapBox\">\r\n                <span class=\"relatedTitle\">\r\n                    Related Articles\r\n                <\/span>\r\n                <div class=\"post-category-related\">\r\n                    Style                <\/div>\r\n                <h3 class=\"post-title\">\r\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/en\/style-en\/what-is-gq-moty-gq-hong-kong-to-host-inaugural-gq-men-of-the-year-awards\">\r\n                        What Is GQ MOTY?
