View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Monique LeeAbout Monique Lee : Monique Lee, Interior Design Director of Mas Studio Ltd., columnist on interior designs for Capital Weekly, Hong Kong.
She has a passion for art since childhood and has always aspired to design for spatial comfort and simplicity. Her designs are well received by clients as a blend of inspiration and functionality.
With solid knowledge in architecture and interior designs, she started her career working with land developers after getting professional qualifications in her early twenties. Year 2009 is a milestone when she founded her own company to further her design career. In 2013, she got her first accolade with one of her designs in an interior design award. Since then, her designs have been gaining recognition in different design awards.
Design and Art are twins. Art is a representation of graceful thinking of an epoch in form of design. A mixture of history, culture and innovation. It changes over generations, yet is always part of contemporary life. Each design is a concept or an idea expressed in distinctive form molded by the designer’s hands. It speaks and tells stories to the audience. Like music, design is abstract art and doesn’t have a fixed form. Though melody is an only a sequence of single notes, it speaks and strikes our emotions. Interior design is melodic, you feel the rhythm through shapes, colors and unique arrangements.
We believe that the future of design and art lies at conservation. To enlighten and illuminate the idea of conservation through design is our ultimate vision. We have no reservation to show our passion for Minimalism and Functionality, steering our way to use less to create more.
