In celebrating art and flowers in summer, we had our Pop-Up in Sogo Causeway Bay during 6-19 July 2022. This pop-up brought together the visions of two exceptional artists: our founder, glass artist Eveline Ko, and master floral artist Armanda Da Roza. Modern handblown glass vases were combined with the beauty of Sogetsu Ikebana floral arrangements in a visual symphony of glass and flowers.

AEfolio HJ award video transcript – translated to English
Presenter:
They say, ‘luxury is in the details;’ never underestimate the value that a piece of decor can have in your home.
Our next brand award winner uses vibrant colors in their glass and ceramic designs to lend different styles of interiors a finishing touch.
Congratulations, AEfolio!
AEfolio is a home decor brand based in Hong Kong and the United States. They offer a range of colorful handblown glass objects, handcrafted ceramics, and lighting options.
Eveline:
All of the raw materials in our glass are imported from the United States and Europe to our Shanghai workshop.
One of the selling points is that we choose the best raw materials to import, so the character and quality of the materials is very high quality. In general, the most important thing about glass is it’s clarity; because our raw materials are imported, our finished products are comparable to crystal.
Glass and ceramic are part of the same family, both are easy to break. The unique feature of glass is that it becomes more beautiful with light, and light is more beautiful through glass. For ceramics, you can put it in different areas of the home – in dim areas or bright areas – and it’ll create a different impression.
For the home environment and interior design, I think glass and ceramic are a wonderful complement.
