Zolima Culture Guide Vol 1 Henry Steiner’S Hong Kong

Description

Youll discover amusing anecdotes about Steiners sometimes eccentric way of working. Youll learn things about Hong Kong you might not have known before. (What did a HK$10 Standard Chartered note get you in a bar on Lyndhurst Terrace? Which Scottish symbol inspired the HSBC logo? Which department store was designed by renowned architect Gio Ponti?) This is the story of a boy who fled the Holocaust and trained under the mid-century masters of design before making Hong Kong his home. And its the story of Hong Kong itself.
