You've probably had this happen to you before. You see something you like. You ask your friend where he got it, and he says, "Oh, I got that on my last trip to London." All hopes are dashed. And what about all those times you've seen a beautifully crafted object, and you surely would have bought it -- if only it didn't have that overly ornate pattern on it. Well, it's happened to us many times. These are just a couple of reasons for G.O.D.'s existence. T h e G. O. D. S t o r y [to be accompanied by a collage of product and Hong Kong shots] Living in Hong Kong, the international city that it is, we've been exposed to Western design, from neo-classicism to minimalism. But we also grew up with the elegant craftsmanship that is indigenous of Asia. G.O.D. is about merging our own history of making beautiful objects with our appreciation for simplicity and subtlety. This city's vibrancy comes from its ability to draw on the best of both worlds, to adapt and change as the need arises. This is also G.O.D.'s philosophy. A contemporary home is not just about having nice, new things. A home should reflect your own lifestyle, your own history. And this is where your own creativity and imagination comes in. You can freely "mix-n-match" at G.O.D. without worrying if one thing matches with the other. Our objects are never complicated in design such that they are demanding in an interior anoung other furniture. Because our products are chosen with consistent philosophy of functionality, simplicity, and honesty to materials throughout, they are essentially timeless. So what does G.O.D. stand for? In the process of coming up with the name for our shop, we wanted a name that reflects our outlook. We also wanted to acknowledge the spirit that drives Hong Kong people and our debt to this thriving metropolis as a source of inspiration. G.O.D. is a loose phonetic abbreviation of [Chinese name] which means "live better". Hong Kong people have always been highly motivated and upwardly-mobile, always working hard to provide themselves and their families with a better life. We hope that G.O.D. can make your quest to "live better" all the more easy and fun. Frequently-Asked Questions [optional] FAQ 1: Is G.O.D. warehouse the only store in Hong Kong?
