In autumn exhibition 2005, Chine Gallery will demonstrate creative ways of incorporating classic Chinese design with contemporary furnishings and interiors. Timeless pieces of Chinese furniture, sculpture and carpets will be put together with contemporary German and Italian designer collections as vivid presentations of "east meets west". You will see how Chinese antique pieces illuminate without overpowering its modern settings, through the attributes of balance, order and harmony inherent in Chinese aesthetics.

This is an exciting opportunity to explore contemporary interior design with classical Chinese accents. Please come and experience this magical fusion of craft and form, classic elegance and modern style, which we call Timeless Chic.
