Asia's Award-Winning Architectural Design Studio Brings The Language of Luxe to U.S.
Sought after by exclusive hoteliers, retailers, and restaurant operators, studio co-founders Ed Ng and Terence Ngan are recognized for their design excellence and uncompromising quality. In The Language of Luxe, the pair reveals their inspirations, detail their creative process, and explain their artistic vision.

Published by San Francisco-based ORO Editions, the book is divided into the individual attributes that AB Concept employs to communicate authentic luxury: color, craftsmanship, texture, form, pattern, scale, light, simplicity, and sense of place. Complete with lushly illustrated spreads of their interiors, The Language of Luxe reveals how Ng and Ngan have honed their voice during the firm's 12-year history and articulated a definitive style.

With a client list that includes Four Seasons, W Hotels, Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts, Mandarin Oriental, Marriott International and Swire Properties, plus projects spanning Hong Kong, India, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and China, AB Concept has emerged as one of the most dynamic, forward-thinking, and acclaimed design studios in Asia and the world.

“The meaning of luxury has been debated in recent years, but to us, the central truths in the context of design remain the same. This book is both an expression of work and a statement about the timelessness and relevance of luxury today,” said Ed Ng.

The Language of Luxe is available in bookstores worldwide and online (March 2013, $65).
