An evening of old world divertimento, odd pairings and great company.The new Tangram woman collection will be entangled in fascinating conversation with the beautiful pieces of furniture that Casa Capriz is showcasing for the first time in Hong Kong together with the backdrop of a site-specific art exhibition curated by Chai Wan’s alternative art space Platform China (HK).
Get cozy with the treasures of Casa Capriz, the vibrant colours of Tangram’s Collection #2 and Platform China’s unearthed artworks in an evening of La Dolce Vita inspired cocktails, blinding flashes and exquisit entertainment that will have you reaching for one glass after the other.
Tangram
Tangram will officially present it’s latest project, Collection #2, at L Appuntamento. For our second story we have delved deep into a world of geometric shapes, off-beat color combinations and painterly prints. Icy Mints, Sunset corals, bright emerald and cobalt blues make up an army of dancing hues in pieces that are somewhat masculine but always with the feminine flair, effortless debonair and subtle details that are Tangram's unwavering compromise to fun and understated beauty.
Adjustable ties that let you play with the garment, waistbands that are customizable, shirts that are dresses and dresses that will accompany from day to night in a cinch, are all part of this second foray into the business of making women feel fabulous.
Here is hoping that the clothes will take you dancing and into the library and on a boat and basically everywhere you need to be.
Platform China HK
Established in 2005 in Beijing, Platform China Contemporary Art Institute is one of the most innovative and alternative art spaces in China.

Casa Capriz
The closure of the year of the Dragon will see the opening of a new force in the design and furniture scene in Hong Kong. Casa Capriz a treasure throve of design and vintage finds for the home will debut Saturday 8th December 2012.
Nested in the up and coming industrial neighbourhood of Chai Wan, a mere 15 minutes from downtown Casa Capriz brings to the public a selection of hand-picked and hard-to-find items that have been selected by the owner herself during her many worldly travels. Here is where you come to dive in a world of fantasy and to get a continuous exhilarating dose of visual inspiration.
In this unexpected space you will find old Italian doorframes that have been converted into giant mirrors, French metal bed frames transformed into standalone hangers sitting next to a vast collection of industrial lights from North Italy, steamer trunks, collectible vintage Louis Vuitton malles ciurrier and much more. With such an eclectic mix of extraordinary pieces it is hard to leave empty handed.
