The ultimate closet for only HK$10 million
As told to Vivian Chen
WHO Ed Ng
INTERIOR DESIGNER
Ed Ng co-founded awardwinning interior design firm AB Concept in 2001. Its portfolio spans luxury hotels to fine-dining restaurants and high-end properties, such as W Retreat & Spa Bali - Seminyak, On Pedder stores, Pacific Place Apartments and the Bellagio Hotel at Dubai Pearl, expected to open in 2015.
With a cool HK$10 million budget, interior designer Ed Ng, of AB Concept, has come up with a walk-in closet design that would make Carrie Bradshaw's Sex and the City one pale in comparison.
"For me, the true luxury of a walk-in closet is for the owner to see everything at one glance," says Ng, co-founder and director of the Hong Kong-based hospitality powerhouse.
Ng envisions a set of double-tier closets that are shaped like two rings, connected with a hydraulic cylinder.
The lower tier will be for work wear and evening gowns whereas the upper tier will be for casual wear. The upper inner ring can go down to ground level for easy access. Adding to its wow factor, the device also provides extra storage space.
"The reason I chose a circular design is because people tend to forget about the items hidden around the corner and that's absolutely what I hate to see," he says.
To add an extra luxe touch, the interior of the closets will be lined with Alcantara - a synthetic suede that's soft enough not to scratch any of your delicate clothing and is mould and mildew resistant.
