I went to Wanchai last week for a meeting with furniture haven, OVO. I enjoyed walking in Wanchai for a change (I used to hate that area because of the red light district) because of the new stores, quaint restaurants (definitely need to try Bo Innovation) and the homemade bakehops. I had to have my cucpcake fix again and succumbed to delish Red Velvet at Sift! What a treat! I am definitely going back there again this week.
The OVO stores were great too! I have not been there for a while and saw so much stuff that's perfect for home. I love the contemporary oriental, without the "screaming CHINESE" look and feel. Too bad most of the stuff I can't buy because my daughter will just break, climb on to or is not baby-friendly.
I loved this stool that my client asked me to sit on though, it was made by no other than, design genius and fellow Filipino Kenneth Cobonpue. He must be thrilled for being famous after Brangelina bought his furniture.
At first, I hesitated to sit on this odd-looking chair because it looked that it would stick up my butt, but wow, it is one of the most comfortable stool/chairs I have ever sat on.
There's definitely more of his collection to see at the OVO showroom. Be sure to pass by when you get the chance to wander in Wanchai. Let's see if you don't end up lusting for his stuff after! And don't forget some cupcakes at Sift. Mmm...
