The Indonesia-based group is known for its innovative concepts, including Potato Head Folk in Singapore and the Potato Head Beach Club and Katamama hotel in Bali, Indonesia.
In Hong Kong, an 8,000 sq ft multipurpose space will house a collection of retail and dining concepts as well as a comprehensive programme of cultural events. Potato Head Hong Kong was designed by award-winning Tokyo-based architect Sou Fujimoto and PTT Family’s in-house creative team. Fujimoto is best known for designing the 2013 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, one of the highest honours in architecture.
At Potato Head Hong Kong, the interiors are an eclectic mix of Fujimoto’s signature metal frame structures and hanging plant boxes with custom Indonesian furniture and mid-century antiques spread throughout. Authentic Indonesian cultural touches, such as the hand-painted ceiling panels made by the Torajan people of South Sulawesi, pay homage to PTT Family’s roots whilst the furniture and antiques represent the group’s signature contemporary context.
Located in the neighbourhood of Sai Ying Pun, Potato Head Hong Kong is a partnership between PTT Family and restaurateur Yenn Wong and the JIA Group. The site encompasses the following:
