Trend Reports
	Hong Kong News December 2022
	We have received a new report supported by GARDE! Noi, the new restaurant lounge led by Argentinian-born Michelin-starred chef, Paulo Airaudo, has opened at the newly refurbished Four Seasons hotel in Hong Kong. The restaurant was designed by interior design studio AB Concept. The overall design pays homage to Chef Airaudo's Italian-Argentinian ancestry by fusing Italian architecture with modern furniture, along with a statement wine cellar. Noi, which translates to "we" or "us" in Italian, offers diners an authentic fine-dining experience and a window into Chef Airaudo's world, complete with playful furnishings that were influenced by his travels as well as pop-art references alluding to his tattoos, favorite movies and video games. Following a design brief set by Airaudo himself, AB Concept has divided the new restaurant into two key zones: an Italian style dining room, and a more casual breakout lounge featuring a wine bar kiosk and panoramic views over Hong Kong.
