In June 2024, Liquid Interiors and V-ZUG co-hosted "Elevated Entertaining: An Exploration of Sustainable Design + Gourmet". This unique collaboration with partners Haviland, Vermillion, FLORISTRY by ART OF LIVING, and Sea Change Wine brought together a collective of passionate collaborators to showcase the intersection of sustainable design, eco-friendly entertaining, and demonstrated the art of closed-loop, zero-waste, sustainable living in an elegant display of reusable, compostable and edible design.



Hosted at Hong Kong’s flagship V-ZUG Studio, guests savored sustainable gourmet canapés prepared by V-ZUG’s renowned chefs, accompanied by sustainable wines from Sea Change Wine, created using eco-luxe kitchen equipment and locally sourced organic ingredients.



In an intimate fireside chat, Liquid Interiors founder Rowena Gonzales, V-ZUG Marketing Manager Kidd Leung, FLORISTRY by ART OF LIVING founder Emily Wong, and Vermillion founder Krizia Li shared their tips for daily integration sustainable lifestyle habits.
