50 THINGS WE LOVE TO LIVE WITH What we love and why. The ELLE Decoration team list their 50 modern home must-haves from Hong Kong and around the world. A big white sofa, luxury velvet cushions, a bright orange espresso machine and a Kosta Boda vase - just four contemporary favourites to enjoy every day.

While Louise is an expert global shopper (her career has taken her through the best of Hong Kong's retailers) she has a real skill for imaginative use of her collected things. Carved jade pieces become chopsticks rests and babies' jade bangles become napkin rings.
