dynastic revival




When it comes to a rich history and heritage, Lane Crawford certainly isn’t lacking. The Hong Kong department store was founded in 1850 by Thomas Ash Lane and Ninian Crawford, and this year it's celebrating its 160th anniversary. In conjunction with this anniversary, Lane Crawford invited eight designers, including Tom Dixon, Fornasetti, Qu Guangci, Lisa Whatmough, and Ilse Crawford to give the Chinese Ming Dynasty-style chair a major facelift.

Heritage 160 features a series of programmes and events this Autumn/Winter, culminating in the largest celebration of the year. The exhibition is currently on display at the IFC mall in Hong Kong.
