publisher’s note
Be it healthier eating habits or quality time spent with the family, we all have personal resolutions that (hopefully) set us on the path towards the overall betterment of our lives as we greet the new year. Design, when done well, has been known to facilitate selfimprovement by changing up our perceptions of the world around us. In this sense, perhaps a regular dose of H+R will serve as inspiration as you journey into the coming year!
A
t the magazine, our own ambitions remain deliberately unchanged, season after season. As ever, we strive to bring you the most compelling content out there with respect to exceptional hospitality and retail projects in and around Asia. Now and then, we’ll try something new, in the hopes that the endeavour will bring our readers that much deeper into the fascinating world of premium interiors. In this edition, it’s our pleasure to enlist the participation of a handful of up and coming studios that make hospitality interior design and refurbishments their chief impetus. Unflappably iconic, featured projects from HBA, JOI-Design, MKV, Muza Lab and Studio Proof are the primary reason why H+R’s pages are looking particularly dapper this time around. Additional acknowledgements: I’d like to thank Alicia Sheber from ESP Business Development for her assistance in sourcing the stunning European projects that also make up this edition. A warm note of welcome goes out to Kettal, which makes its glittering debut in the magazine. For brands interested in future collaborations, I encourage you to get in touch. Lastly, a bit of housekeeping: kindly be informed that the 2018 publication of H+R has been rescheduled for the months of April, August and December. Happy reading…and a Happy New Year!
