Design now has to balance sustainability, durability, and cultural resonance, and Pal Pang, Hong Kong–born and London–based, has carved out a voice that connects all three. At London Design Festival 2025, he introduces a global furniture collection created for cafés, private clubs, and galleries, places where design has to perform and leave a mark.
The series translates Pang’s own forecast for 2025: optimistic color, sustainable materials, sculptural form, and lighting that stirs emotion, into pieces that move from prediction into lived reality.
Reading the industry from both sides
While preparing this launch, Pang has also been serving on the jury of the BLT Built Design Awards, reviewing some of the year’s most inventive architecture and interiors. That double role as designer and critic sharpens his eye. The projects that stay with him are those with material innovation, cultural depth, and environmental intent. His own collection makes the same commitments.
Built for high-traffic spaces
Every element has been considered for interiors that see constant use. Sintered stone surfaces resist heat, stains, and abrasion. Premium synthetic leather offers a tactile experience without animal cruelty. Structural and finish choices meet EU sustainability and safety standards. Sculptural profiles bring presence without shouting, while modular layouts allow the furniture to evolve with its setting.
Furniture that shapes a mood
More than a functional layer, Pang sees furniture as part of an atmosphere. Finishes respond to light, with matte surfaces drawing in shadow and soft sheens reflecting glow. These are pieces made to be lived with, to support interaction, and to underscore the identity of the venues they occupy quietly.
Global in ambition, local in use
Launching during the London Design Festival, this is not a festival showcase but a collection positioned for real-world interiors across continents. From a hospitality lounge in Shoreditch to a gallery in Hong Kong, the work speaks to spaces that understand furniture as more than background, as an active part of experience.
Looking ahead
With sustainability, shifting behaviors, and tighter resources shaping interiors, public furniture must carry more weight. It has to be adaptable, durable, and layered with character. Pang’s collection shows what that can look like: trend-aware yet timeless, refined yet resilient.
