Over the years, Design 2000 has become renowned world-wide for the design excellence, superior quality and lasting value of its furniture and furnishings. Indeed, many young couples whose parents purchased Design 2000 furniture years ago are now returning to the store to purchase furniture for their new home. Celebrates 21 Years of Superior Service to the People of Hong Kong The main Ocean Centre store is a real paradise for lovers of fashionable furniture. Customers can choose from Hong Kong’s largest in-stock choice of leather sofas, beds and dining suites. The store features two world’s firsts in interior design: ChairRailway, complete with tunnels, that display Design 2000’s dining chair collection on a moving railway. And AromaZone is the world’s first widespread use of natural aromas diffused through five sections of the store. Following the international interest created by the opening of Design 2000 ’s recently renovated Ocean Centre store, the company decided to advance their revolutionary design concept for the new Lee Plaza in Causeway Bay. The store’s colour scheme is total whiteness: walls, floors, ceilings and partitions are all finished in white, adding a spacious feeling to the store. This is particularly important in Hong Kong where rental space is now the highest in the world. Again there are some of the world’s firsts here, the ChairCarousel, Sleepzone, and revolving VideoAction Centre. These unique features provide customers with a larger shopping choice, and add excitement to an already revolutionary environment. Another unit in the Design 2000 group is their Decorplan Interior Design Division. Previously, this division handled only design and contract work by special customer request. Due to popular demand, however, the division is now expanding to meet a growing demand for Design 2000’s high quality interior design service. The department is headed by a member of the American Society of Interior Designers (A.S.I.D.). such membership guarantees every client high quality design, professional attention to detail, honestly-priced estimates and ethical conduct. Design 2000’s high standards of customer service have delighted their clients. For example, sales staff have visited customers at their homes on their days off for special requests. When a king sized mattress proved difficult to deliver because of a narrow staircase, staff rushed to the scene by taxi to help. Temporary furniture have been supplied to clients while they waited for stock. To cope with Hong Kong’s small flats, Design 2000’s staff will arrange for an exterior hoist to get the furniture into the flats. Design 2000 also has a “Declaration of Ideals” as their company philosophy. Profit is not the only point of their business, but also important is to be of real help and assistance to the Hong Kong community, and help upgrade the quality of its spiritual lifestyle. To this end Design 2000 regularly donate a percentage of their profits to charities, and sponsor events that help to enrich the lives of many. There are many other facets to the remarkable success of the Design 2000 story. Suffice to say though, that the company will no doubt continue to thrive and prosper, offering Hong Kong people the finest in furnishings, quality, value and service for at least another 21 years!
