Sweet dreams: Could Bose’s noise-masking sleepbuds be the answer to a good night’s sleep?

Have you ever experienced those nights when you just can’t sleep because of snoring, traffic, loud neighbours or the alike? Yes, we’ve all been there.

Luckily, though, we may have just found the answer to our problems with Bose’ latest creation – noise-masking sleepbuds. Designed meticulously to help you sleep, the tiny wireless sleepbuds promise to delivery uniquely engineered sounds that will mask unwanted noises and lull you to sleep. Rather than streaming music, choose from 10 pre-loaded soothing sounds, some of which are optimised for masking while others, for relaxation.

Ensuring maximum comfort, the masterminds at Bose have even designed the tiny earbud nodule and soft StayHear + Sleep tips (available in three sizes) with side sleepers and toss-and-turners in mind. So whether you are snuggling into your pillow, curling up on your side, or stretching out, your sleepbuds will remain secure in your ear, all night long.

What’s more, using the Bose Sleep app, you can set wake-up alarms that only you can hear. For those on the go, the included charging case is a convenient place to store and protect your noise-masking sleepbuds. The case also provides one additional full charge when unplugged, making it the ideal companion for travel.  

Enjoy the rhythm of rolling waves crashing on a beach, or feel the crackling comfort of a fire as you fall asleep and stay asleep! Wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day with Bose’s latest innovation.

While the official launch date for Hong Kong is yet been confirmed, the nifty headphones are available for sale in the US (USD $249.95) and will hit the UK in Autumn.

Alan Chan and Denise Lau on their new partnership to promote artistic living

Celebrated designer and artist Alan Chan recently collaborated with luxury furniture store colourliving in a bid to transform living spaces into objet d’art. The partnership will also yield some bespoke new services including personalised gift shopping, wedding registry and interior styling.

We caught up with Alan and colourliving’s CEO, Denise Lau to find out how they met, why they click their vision for the future.

What makes your partnership so successful?

Denise: We share a mutual vision on art and culture and how they affect lifestyles. For colourliving, we always wanted to curate a luxury lifestyle for customers. Luxury doesn’t have to be expensive. Luxury is an attribute of any object that you treasure or value, and something that makes you happy. The germ of this partnership with Alan was sown over a dinner conversation where we discussed our aspirations and found out we have a lot in common. It’s a blessing for us to be partnering with Alan.

Alan: I am not a businessperson. I believe, in order to be creative, you should distance yourself from a business perspective. So I am happy to rely on Denise to look at the business side of things, as she has a very sound judgment on these matters, while I am an emotional artist. It has been a very harmonious relationship so far, with clearly defined roles.

You are launching several bespoke services as well. Why?

Denise: For us, home is where our heart is. Space filled with a lot of nice furniture is not necessarily a complete space. There also has to be a personal touch, be it flowers, painting or any object that you cherish. This not only applies to homes, but also to corporate offices, hotels, showrooms, etc. We believe there is a lot of room for creativity for dressing up and beautifying any space.

Alan: Based on our experiences, we would like to advise collectibles for our customers that will enhance their living space. We want to help our customers create unique, personalised space, and to curate bespoke houses. It’s a completely new concept in Hong Kong in the retail furniture sector.

Do you have any design tips for our guests?

Denise: Ideas come to you when you are relaxed. Ideas come to you when you travel more. So take a step back, soak in the ambience in which you are and beautiful, unique ideas will come to you about how to make your living space a memorable one.

Thank you.
