What better way to see the world than through the eyes of our favorite tastemakers? In Hidden Trails, we look at the places that feel most like home to our community of design insiders — wherever those might be — to help you uncover what their cities have in store for you.
For the founders of Hong Kong and Istanbul-based Studio Yellowdot, creative and life partners Bodin Hon and Dilara Kan Hon, the Chinese region was never just a place, but served as the incipit to an ongoing design story. "Bodin spent his early childhood here with his family, and it's also where we chose to stay after meeting in Milan," the imaginative duo, known for its dreamy installations and ingenious recasting of waste materials into shapely, joyful homewares and furniture, tells me over email. "We got married in Hong Kong and, soon after, Studio Yellowdot was born."
