William Lim, architect, CL3 Architects (cl3.com)

I like to design my own furniture in projects, but I also experiment with different materials. Making furniture for myself helps me do both.

We reference a lot of movies. Interior design is very visual and our imagery is often like movie sets. In the Mood for Love is one we refer to a lot, it helps us communicate ideas.

We use that in mood presentations. We often need to explain ideas, and it's easier if we find an object that can tell an entire story.

We put clocks in our design and my art explores our relationship with time. Time is the fourth dimension involved in my work.

It's not important for us to win awards, but we do passive marketing by entering them. The Chinese market is very conscious about awards, and it helps us get together in the community and share ideas.

That's a Mid-Autumn lantern; the use of colour and animals is fascinating; I try to apply that to my design. It's local and kitschy, but it's also very 'Hong Kong'.
