BT Luxe celebrates Asian heritage

AS Chinese New Year draws near, BT Luxe puts the spotlight on heritage and traditions around Asia, spotlighting individuals with deep connections to their roots that make them who they are, and guide what they do. Among the personalities we feature are former Japanese football legend Hidetoshi Nakata, Singapore actor Ayden Sng, South Korean designer Teo Yang and veteran Chinese-American interior designer Tony Chi. All have unique tales to tell, such as the debonair Nakata who now champions the traditional art of sake making, while Sng - an accomplished er hu player - personifies the spirit of Chinese New Year in Singapore. Teo shares his mission of incorporating Korean heritage architecture into modern designs, and Chi explains why heritage isn’t about where you come from but the memories you create.
