HONG KONG, July 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In an era where artificial intelligence can instantly generate millions of templated room layouts, design and build firm Dizign Limited answers a critical modern dilemma: why hire an interior design firm at all? The answer lies not in technology, but in increasingly rare human expertise. Today, Dizign celebrates its 28-year legacy by highlighting the cornerstone of its international success—the artistic vision of its founder, Dizen Lam, and a design-and-build process built to spare clients the frustrations of renovation.

While competitors rely on automated algorithms and generated renderings, Lam’s unique approach to interior design is rooted from his training as a fine artist. Having taught interior design at the First Institute of Art and Design and LaSalle College Vancouver, Lam’s distinctive experience in teaching individualistic expression has shaped how he works with his clients today. Rather than starting from trends or templates, he begins by understanding who the client is—their tastes, habits, and history—and designs the space around that.

"A space should not merely be viewed; it must be felt," says Dizen Lam, Founder of Dizign Limited. "AI can optimize efficiency, but it cannot inject soul, culture, or emotion into a home or business. True luxury is an environment that tells an authentic story—your story."

Renovation and build projects are notorious for ballooning budgets, slipping timelines, and finger-pointing between designers and contractors. After decades in the industry, Dizign's structure is tailored to eliminate these risks. As a single design-and-build firm, Dizign carries each project from concept to completion under one roof, while its global supply chain and dedicated manufacturing facilities give it direct control over quality, cost, and schedule. The result is transparent pricing at every stage, faster timelines, and the freedom to specify sustainable materials without compromising the intent and identity of the design.

The very same philosophy has won Dizign recognition on both sides of the Pacific. Their ability to translate rich Asian design sensibilities into complex North American architectural contexts was recently spotlighted as part of the Tsawwassen Mills expansion in Vancouver, covered by Daily Hive Urbanized. From large-scale commercial developments to intimate, ultra-luxury residential sanctuaries—such as the award-winning vacation home "Revealing Enigma" built for a world champion—Dizign consistently proves that artistry can coexist with commercial viability and environmental sustainability.

The firm's accolades underscore its industry authority, including:

• International Design Awards (IDA) 2024 Honoree
• Canadian Home Builders' Association (CHBA) Awards 2024 Winner & 2025 Judging Member Designation
• Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN) Awards 2024 Recognition
• Architecture Masterprize Honorable Mention
• Georgie Awards Winner for Outstanding Residential Design

Sa Sa International Holdings Ltd. is ramping up store openings and restoring a full dividend payout after a sharp rebound in profit, underscoring management’s confidence in the recovery of Hong Kong and Macau’s beauty retail market. The cosmetics chain’s full-year sales rose 14.2% to HK$4.383 billion, while profit increased 1.6 times from a year earlier, allowing the group to boost its final dividend and return its payout ratio to 100%. Chairman and chief executive Simon Kwok said the stronger distribution reflects a “very strong” outlook, pointing to broad-based improvement in store traffic and spending.

Kwok said all key operating indicators in Hong Kong and Macau — including revenue, same-store sales, transaction volume, average ticket size and units per transaction — recorded year-on-year gains in the last financial year. Momentum has continued into the new year: in the first quarter of the current financial year, total revenue grew 24%, with offline sales up 30.9%. Hong Kong and Macau led with a 32.5% jump in offline sales, while Southeast Asia rose 17%. Online revenue slipped 3.2% overall, weighed by an 18.1% decline in mainland China, even as Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia posted online growth.

On the back of the recovery, Sa Sa is reviving its brick‑and‑mortar expansion, particularly in tourist districts that were heavily rationalised during the downturn. The company plans to open 10 new stores in the current financial year; it has already added outlets in Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, including a large upstairs shop of about 6,000 to 7,000 square feet at the Mong Kok Man Wah Centre, on top of an existing ground‑floor unit. A store at the Airside mall in Kai Tak is slated to open in August, and another at Lok Ma Chau is planned to capture cross‑border traffic. Kwok said tourist‑area stores are now about half the number they once were, leaving “substantial room” to rebuild the network, though he stressed the group will not neglect local customers.

Store format will be a key part of the strategy. Kwok said he and his wife favour large outlets and that she has advocated opening flagship stores to serve both mainland and local shoppers in a more spacious, comfortable environment. Still, decisions between large and small formats will depend on rents and operating costs; smaller shops require less staff and investment. He said that while the opening of new outlets may “slightly” dilute same‑store sales metrics, the impact should be limited as long as locations and rental terms are carefully chosen. Footfall remains the main focus: “Only when there are people will there be revenue,” he said, adding that broader product assortment and competitive pricing should help underpin demand even as more drugstore and beauty chains enter the market.

Sa Sa also aims to stabilise and eventually grow its Southeast Asian operations, where the group ended the last financial year with 75 stores — 70 in Malaysia and five in Singapore. The region’s near‑term target is to achieve break‑even. Three of the five Singapore stores are already profitable, and Kwok said the company would consider opening more outlets there if suitable opportunities arise, noting that Singaporean sales growth was particularly strong in the second half of the year. The Malaysian business is described as stable, with management planning tighter cost control. Kwok played down concerns about competition from other travel destinations and cross‑border consumption trends, saying that Hong Kong remains convenient for many mainland visitors, some of whom come once or twice a month, and that the company’s breadth of products and pricing remain competitive.
