"When it comes to great design, there is something so gratifying about cultivating meaning beyond just aesthetics. As much as I love a beautiful tablescape or a well-styled entryway, I'm always drawn to decor that carries intention with it. That's why I've always been drawn to the intersection of culture - particularly feng shui and chi - and home design, especially before the start of Lunar New Year celebrations."
"No one loves a party more than I do, and because the new year is one of my favorite holidays, I like to do it big. I'm going all out by hosting a celebration at Isshiki in New York City, and in the process of gearing up for a beautiful soirée, I've been reflecting deeply on how I want my spaces to feel."
Decor can cultivate meaning beyond aesthetics by embedding intention into spaces. Cultural practices such as feng shui and chi intersect with home design to influence energy, flow, and atmosphere. Preparing for Lunar New Year often involves resetting domestic energy and establishing intentions for the year ahead. Hosting celebrations provides an opportunity to shape how spaces feel and to gather friends in intentional environments. Lunar New Year traditions span a diaspora of Asian cultures with varied timelines and meanings; in Vietnamese families the holiday is called Tết, while the Chinese calendar marks the Year of the Horse on February 17. Intentional decor anchors health, harmony, stability, connection, and prosperity.
