From tropical resorts to landmark condominiums, Marquis HQO is redefining contract furniture solutions with curated expertise, custom craftsmanship, and a quiet yet confident approach that speaks volumes.

In the realm of luxury development, good design doesn’t shout. It endures. That’s the philosophy behind Marquis HQO, the specialist project arm of Marquis Furniture Gallery and a subsidiary of HKEX-listed Design Capital Ltd. Since its founding in 2000, Marquis HQO has built a reputation for excellence in bespoke contract furniture solutions, particularly in the nuanced and often overlooked world of outdoor furnishings.

Led by design veteran Sharon Wu, Marquis HQO comprises a team with over two decades of global experience spanning Hokkaido to the Maldives. Their mission is as thoughtful as their execution: To harness quality brands and original products to deliver sustainable growth and enduring results. “We don’t shout. MARQ lives it out,” says the group’s vision/mission statement – a line that perfectly captures their considered approach to design partnerships and project delivery.

Unlike conventional suppliers, Marquis HQO operates as creative collaborators, offering end-to-end solutions that begin with product curation and space planning, extending to custom builds, procurement, and post-completion service. Their team draws on an international network of trusted brands and boutique names, tailoring selections of furniture, lighting, and accessories to fit each client’s vision, site conditions, and timeline.

While the brand serves a wide range of sectors, including hospitality, residential, and boutique commercial projects, it is their expertise in outdoor contract furnishing that truly distinguishes them. Their portfolio includes high-profile developments such as The Reef at King’s Dock, One Pearl Bank, and The Avenir in Singapore, where they provided both indoor and outdoor solutions designed for beauty, durability, and ease of maintenance.

Regionally, their mark is evident in Cinnamon Life – City of Dreams, a landmark mixed-use development in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Here, Marquis HQO supplied full outdoor furnishing solutions for luxury apartment towers L23 and L35, part of a 4.2 million-square-metre scheme led by Balmond Studio. The project’s scale and complexity underscore the brand’s capabilities in project management, compliance, material specification, and timeline coordination, which are critical components of large-scale contract work.

Whether collaborating with architects, updating designers on new sustainable materials, or customising furnishings to fit irregular spaces, Marquis HQO brings a rare blend of creativity, precision, and professionalism to every project.
