In The Butterfly Room, a sextet of Zodiac paintings by British artist Damien Hirst features eye-catching circular pops of colour, punctuated by a blue butterfly suspended in the centre - inspiring the name of the venue. Sash glass and bronze screens, featuring Lisa Stimpson’s verre églomisé metallic etchings of whimsical fruit and flora, open up to a room filled with custom-crafted leather and pastel velvet green Mobius chairs by Italian furniture maker Giorgetti. Victoria Harbour glimmers in the distance, through the floor-to-ceiling picture windows.
