GF Design Ltd.

design company. Through matching different kinds of furniture, Colin hopes that it can reflect the personality of house owners and create a comfortable home for them. Colin Fung：
「好設計是一檯一椅皆為戶主而設，旨在反映戶主的個性，而不在於彰顯設計師。」

Colin Fung：
“In the ideal home decorating project, every piece of furniture chosen should reflect the personality of its occupant rather than portraying its designer in a flattering light.”

解難為重
在成為設計師以前，Colin與室內設計已結下不解之緣。十多年前，Colin在傢具店工作，每天與傢具設計圖為伴，從訂製、搬運以至裝嵌皆親力親為，因而對傢具設計瞭如指掌。興趣與日俱增，他無師自通學懂繪畫傢具設計圖，並在設計學校深造，贏得了家居設計比賽票選冠軍，終於在2009年創辦了設計公司GF Design Limited及建立起專業的設計團隊。

Problem Solver
Colin Fung’s interest in interior design was stoked from the time he worked for a furniture company years ago and learned every aspect of the industry from designing drafts and ordering materials to transportation and assembly. His nascent passion for furniture design led him to develop his self-taught skills further by studying at a design institute where he went on to win top prize in a home design competition. In 2009, he set up his first company and design team, GF Design. GF Design
打拼多年，一直抱著「以人為本」的宗旨，為客人提供最適切的設計。Colin形容：「設計就像為客人解難，設計師要以設計解決有限空間與無限期望之間的衝突。如果設計反映的是設計師的個人風格或潮流趨勢，而不能迎合戶主的生活需要和個性，就完全違反了我的設計原則。」對Colin而言，設計的首要條件就是配合客人所有生活需要，令客人住得舒適自在。

I had worked hard many years, their chief objective has always been putting people first. “Design work,” they say “is about finding solutions to a client’s problems. Designers should use their knowledge to solve the conflict between limited space and unlimited expectations. If a project merely shows off the designer’s style or highlights the latest trends, then it is not really geared towards the client’s distinct needs and tastes, which is the exact opposite of what we meant by putting people first.” For Fung and the team, it is paramount to meet a client’s requirements so that he is comfortable in his own home.

取捨與隱藏
「其實客人的需要幾乎同出一轍，都是希望舒適、悠閒，有充足的儲物空間。然而有得必有失，香港的家居面積有限，不能又要空間感，又要設置大量儲物櫃。」因為難以兼得、難以完美，Colin更覺設計能夠減低戶主的「犧牲」。
面對得失和取捨，Colin則認為平衡與隱藏是箇中關鍵。「香港室內設計的最大挑戰是寸金尺土，空間有限，因此創造隱藏空間幾乎是必要的技巧；而平衡設計的美感、實用性、客人的需要等因素尤其重要，差之毫釐，失之千里，更顯出設計師的功力。」

Finding a Balance
“In fact, most clients want the same things: comfort, leisure and abundant storage space. But inevitably, there will be some compromise. You can’t have a spacious environment while also having lots of storage space within the very limited confines of a typical Hong Kong flat.” These difficult challenges can be overcome through good design solutions which, Fung believes, can lessen the impact of the occasional but necessary sacrifice a client may face in the decision-making process.
