Working from home has fast become the norm for many professionals in Hong Kong and while some individuals have found it easy to adapt, others have found it difficult to stay motivated, let alone productive.
Lack of communication, a plethora of distractions, and even loneliness can affect the way you work remotely. It is therefore worthwhile to set up a functional yet creative space at home that will in turn, improve your head space too. Ahead, we’ve gathered seven luxury items that will enhance a home office situation into one that inspires productivity, and make working from home work for you.

Lexington Bookcase by Sonder Living at Indigo

The geometric frame is made in steel square and finished in satin brass while shelving is crafted in delicate églomisé glass — a perfect blend of contemporary design and classic style.

Armani/Casa Nema Floor Lamp
It’s no secret that good lighting can boost creativity. A warm, low to mid light is ideal for a workspace and this Nema floor lamp by Armani/Casa equips you with all of that. Plus, it holds itself in a room as a distinctive interior design piece. Made in Italy, this limited edition floor lamp features geometrics lines inspired by the idea of folded paper. Its golden metal structure embraces slabs of pearlescent Selenite stone, which also work as a natural light diffuser.
Hermès Horsecut Paperweight
Say goodbye to papers in disarray with this simplified horse shape paperweight by Hermès. The playful shape adds a touch of fun modernity to any office, while the hand painted lacquered wood — with a vibrant colour block palette — is one that even the great Dutch painter, Piet Mondrian, would appreciate.
Tom Dixon Scoop High Back Chair
A great office chair is one that supports you while you work, and — for want of a better expression — sits pretty. The Scoop chairs by Tom Dixon were designed to be generously proportioned and comfortable but also have visual impact. Crafted in new foam moulded curves, the chairs are ergonomically designed to support the body and can be made to order in a variety of colours and materials.
