Joyce Wang Evokes Colonial Country Manors at Hong Kong’s Mandarin Oriental
Designer Joyce Wang has completed an interior renovation at the Mandarin Oriental, The Landmark hotel on Queen’s Road in Hong Kong’s Central district, designed to evoke the feel of living in a colonial mansion.
The Moonza view
The manor-house style, with dark timber, heavy fabrics, armchairs and refined details, remains attractive for luxury hotels because it conveys calm, trust and the feeling of being a special guest. Today’s designers deliver it lighter and more comfortable than the original.
For executive offices, business clubs and five-star lobbies, Chesterfield or armchairs in leather or velvet, walnut tables and warm table lamps create the same classic feel. Care is needed so the space does not become heavy and dark.
- For refined classic spaces, choose leather or velvet armchairs
- Balance dark timber with lighter walls and curtains
- Table and wall lamps complete the manor feel
