CNA Luxury contributor Daven Wu<\/a>, the book examines Fu\u2019s creative process through three thematic sections: Escape, Cultural Dialogue and Heritage.<\/p>\n\u201cWhat surprised me most, working with Andre on this book, was just how much labour hides behind something that looks so effortless. He maps out a person\u2019s entire journey through a space \u2013 how it might feel at 10 in the morning versus at dusk, for instance \u2013 long before any material gets chosen. For him, emotion comes first; everything else, from proportion to light, is built to serve it,\u201d said Wu, who is also the Singapore editor of Wallpaper*.<\/p>\n
It is perhaps timely then that Fu is also thinking about the legacy that he is leaving behind. When future designers look back at his body of work decades from now, he hopes they will take away how it always strives to create a sense of connection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe single biggest lesson would likely be my conviction that design should not impose a lifestyle, but rather enable a personal expression of living \u2013 creating spaces that are rooted in a strong narrative, one that is warm and is imbued with understated sophistication.
