The Hong Kong interior design field

First of all, to all the interior designers and decorators out there that adapt this politically correct mindset, thinking that the government has the answers and should take control of the market... what you are wishing on you (and everyone else) is the death of the consumer market and the entrepreneurial spirit. Have you given serious thought as to what will really happen to the market? Do you not realize that the direction we are going in will create a market that cannot afford consumer goods... never mind our services!... and so much for the career and lifestyle that you enjoy.

If we want to remain a viable industry, and have a customer based market that can actually afford our products and services, then we need to be proactive in voicing our support of preference for the private sector's dominance in making the changes that we want. As a respected and revered industry, we have the ability to influence and educate the public for the good of the industry and the country. Let's now allow the false fears of doom and gloom give us cause to relinquish what we have worked so hard to achieve as a free market society and the changes that we, as a society with conscience, choose to make for ourselves, rather than imposed by government. Are we going to protect not only our livelihoods, but also our children and grandchildren's futures ...or will we will be someday telling stories about the good 'ole days when people could control their own opportunities and destinies... when there was real hope and exciting possibilities.

Zaha Hadid has accomplished recognition both as a modern furniture designer and architect as well as a woman. In a field where woman have to work that much harder to make a difference, her work is often more surprising, in more subtle ways.
