Step inside the sun-drenched Hong Kong loft of the prolific designer, who is the brains behind the interiors of some of the city’s hottest restaurants and bars—and explore his eclectic collection of rare finds from the mid-century period
Visiting Sean Dix’s Southside home feels like taking a trip back to the late 1950s through to the mid-1960s—a period that the Hong Kong- and Milan-based interior architect and furniture designer, who is the founder of Dix Design + Architecture, calls his “main passion”.
“That was really the peak period for furniture design and industrial design,” Dix says. “[It had] an approach to design which I follow.” Much of what we see in his work today, through “this weird accumulation of objects” he has in his home, are pieces that have touched him in some way—“because they showed respect for materials and there was a real intelligence behind it”.
