“De-stylisation and localisation, integrate with environment and culture respond to local memories, humanities values and urban spirit”. O&O STUDIO is an award-winning design practice based in Hong Kong, driven by an “Out and Outer” vision. The studio offers comprehensive services across architecture, interior design, art installations, as well as furniture and product design.
Founded in 2018 by Suzanne Li and Eric Chan, O&O believes that every design should stem from a rigorous and coherent process—combining strategic and visual thinking through to end-user experience, informing the evolution of future work. Rather than relying on standardised solutions, O&O is known for cultivating distinctive design morphologies that bring fresh value to each project. With over two decades of experience in the industry, Eric and Suzanne have shaped a studio recognized for its thoughtful, high-impact design. In 2019, O&O expanded with a Shanghai office and welcomed Liven Gu as Partner.
In just six years, O&O has delivered a number of iconic architectural and interior projects, including The Siberian in Hong Kong, Mooncraft Bar and Atelier Intimo Flagship in Shanghai, and Siete7 Bar and Restaurant in Shaoxing. The studio has earned more than 40 international design awards. Among its most celebrated works is Siu Kai Fong, part of the Meet’n Meal public space initiative, praised globally and highlighted by Jinwa Award judges as “a design worthy of attention and learning from peers.”
While O&O’s design ethos is rooted in international experience and innovation, the studio continues to grow alongside clients and brands, expanding into new typologies including playgrounds and heritage building revitalisation. O&O strives to create spatial experiences that not only perform independently but also connect meaningfully with their context and communities—especially with the next generation in mind.

In 2025, O&O Studio presents *Yi Si*, a worktable and bench set inspired by ancient Chinese study rooms and crafted by radd. The hexagonal design reflects harmony and wholeness, with the tabletop elegantly resting on folded hexagonal legs. The bench features a distinctive configuration, while a sculpted wooden strip along the desk's edge evokes the fluid beauty of calligraphy. Integrated rattan cup holders on both sides add a thoughtful touch. Blending traditional motifs with contemporary living, *Yi Si* is a culturally resonant piece that bridges past and present.
This distinctive poker card design merges Eastern and Western influences with architectural sensibilities. Using a minimalist graphic style and a bold primary color palette of red, blue, and yellow, each English letter and Arabic numeral is reimagined as its Chinese character counterpart. These characters are depicted in a three-dimensional axonometric style, coming together to form a striking high-rise cityscape. Designed by O&O Studio and produced by Safe Power Printing, the project highlights the creative synergy between designers and manufacturers in crafting intricate, high-density urban maps.
Rooted in the rich heritage of traditional Chinese furniture and decor, *Qing* is a series of props and installations designed for a lingerie brand. Drawing from cultural and spatial traditions, the collection comprises 11 unique pieces that can stand alone or be arranged together. Inspired by the layout of a Chinese garden, the centerpiece—a gourd-shaped structure in mirror-polished stainless steel—functions as both a resting area and a product display. Transparent, open-style wardrobes introduce lightness, while playful elements like a tripod structure and elevated treasure boxes add a whimsical touch. *Qing* thoughtfully bridges tradition and modernity, offering visitors a refined and immersive experience.
On Yim Tin Tsai island, nature sustains each household, enabling Hakka villagers to cherish the simple yet meaningful moments shared around the dining table. *Meet’n Meal* embodies the connection between people, nature, and traditional Hakka cuisine, creating a space for reunions and everyday conversations. While Hakka dishes are modest, they are rich in flavor, made with care from limited resources. This installation celebrates cultural heritage while embracing the hopes of a new generation, offering a welcoming place for families to reconnect and savor heartfelt, nourishing experiences together.
"Despite your coldness, your beauty scatters its wonders across the years," wrote Argentine poet Jorge Luis Borges, reflecting on the enduring cycles of time and space. In 2020, amid the global pandemic, O&O Studio brought this sentiment to life through the first flagship store of a Chinese lingerie brand in Shanghai. Guided by the theme *Rebirth of the Scorched Earth*, the space evokes imagination and renewal with innovative elements such as adjustable mannequins, nature-inspired carpets, and circular displays. These features not only enrich the customer experience but also highlight the brand’s commitment to flexible sizing. The flagship stands as a testament to O&O Studio’s ability to blend artistic expression with commercial purpose.
Selected as the winning entry in the Hong Kong Arts Centre's open call for community-driven public art, this installation—supported by the Urban Renewal Fund—celebrates everyday life along the causeway. Drawing from personal stories in the historic district, the project repurposes donated furniture from local households, transforming chairs and tables into storytelling objects. Each piece is accompanied by oral histories, accessible through QR codes, preserving the memories they carry. The installation forms an urban living room, complete with floor graphics inspired by vibrant heritage patterns. Through charity sales and educational events, elements of the project will continue to benefit and connect the community beyond the exhibition.
O&O Studio reimagines a midrise heritage building in Central as *The Siberian*, paying tribute to the storied legacy of the Siberian Fur Store. With a minimally invasive approach, the design updates the modernist structure for contemporary use while preserving its original character. Founded in 1935 by Stephen Fong Sun-tou, Siberian is one of Hong Kong’s oldest retailers, once employing over 1,000 staff and renowned for its luxury apparel. The revitalized façade features a striking interplay of arched and rectilinear windows, while the interiors fuse historic materials with modern design. Mirrored arches, curated display niches, calligraphy, and archival imagery enrich the space—offering a thoughtful dialogue between heritage and the evolving identity of Hong Kong.
Located on the ground floor of a raised terrace in Shaoxing’s Yuecheng District, this new 160-square-foot seafood restaurant and bar merges two adjoining units to form a semi-open space that shifts in ambiance throughout the day. A streamlined, functional kitchen is positioned along the back, maximizing the openness of the front façade. Guided by the concepts of “concurrence” and “synchronicity,” the bar sits at the heart of the layout, creating a fluid connection between formal dining and relaxed drinking areas—allowing both experiences to coexist and interact with ease.
Located at the Cool Docks—a former grease factory on Shanghai’s South Bund—*Mooncraft* introduces a cohesive brand identity that ties together its name, logo, architecture, and interior design. Drawing inspiration from the full moon rising over the Huangpu River, the logo illustrates a glass cradling the city's layered history, with a golden moon appearing to descend into it. Inside, the space features a hand-crafted beer bar, a whiskey bar, and a robotic bartender, all centered around a striking U-shaped counter. Weathered steel portals add dimension to the façade, shaping an inviting, story-rich environment that blends innovation with nostalgia.
*Interstice*, an art installation featured in the Bi-City Exhibition of Hong Kong Interior Design Week (HKIDW) 2022, explores the concept of being “in between.” Inspired by the Latin word *interstitium*, meaning “a state between spaces,” the work reflects on the physical and emotional voids brought about by the pandemic. Through an immersive experience, visitors are invited to interact with enclosed spaces and their associated memories—rocking on a reimagined children’s chair, for instance—sparking introspective and shared spatial dialogues that blur the boundaries between self, space, and others.
