Traditional craftsmanship can be hard to come by, especially in Hong Kong. When he was just 12 years old, Mr. Liu, now the third-generation owner of Po Wah Furniture, began studying carpentry and painting to one day take over the family business. Founded by Mr. Liu’s grandfather in 1910, the shop was later taken over by Liu’s father in 1976. Now owned by Liu and his wife, the crafty couple creates all types of wooden home furniture such as wooden stools, cupboards and even bunk beds using traditional techniques derived from southern China.
