Born in Hong Kong and educated in England from the age of 14, André Fu holds a Bachelor of Arts at Cambridge University and a Masters in Architecture from the University of Cambridge. Fu credits his idiosyncratic design style—a quietly thoughtful, carefully considered yet analytical approach marked by a highly refined aesthetic—to his peripatetic cultural upbringing. According to the designer, “living, studying and traveling between both countries over the past thirty years is why my own tastemaker sensibility reinterprets traditional notions of national identities or ‘East-meets-West aesthetics’ in a new hybrid. For me, it is about combining a seamless alignment of cultural and design sensibilities, modern luxury, and craftsmanship to shape the world around us.”

Fu became known overnight when he first redefined notions of hospitality with his design of the world-renowned Upper House hotel in Hong Kong, and has since gone on to create forward-thinking interiors for other leading brands. Fu leads each project personally from his airy design studio, located on the historic Duddell Street in Central, Hong Kong.
