With the hot Hong Kong weather in full force, it's time to spend some quality time on your rooftop terrace or better yet, poolside.
We asked local interior designer Clifton Leung to round up five of his favourite pieces of outdoor patio furniture that will keep you looking cool.
1. Dedon Nestrest hanging lounger
This oversized bird's nest hanging lounger by Dedon will have you feeling safe and secluded, wherever you are.
Made out of an especially strong fibre, the Nestrest was inspired by the shapes, textures and colours found in nature and by the sophisticated design of wild birds' nests. The best part is, the woven fibre allows you to look out while preventing peeping toms from looking in -- making it the perfect secret hiding place this summer.
The Dedon Nestrest retails from HK$118,210 and is made on order from Cebu.

2. Vincent Sheppard bar table
The outdoor collection by Vincent Sheppard is made from decades old, recycled teak wood and stainless steel framing.
Its functional wooden slats allow water to trickle right through, making it perfect for Hong Kong's unpredictable rain showers.
Prices start from HK$11,950 for the urban outdoor bar table and HK$10,450 for the urban outdoor dining table.

3. Kosmos table and parasol
Created by Dirk Wynants, Kosmos was inspired by the maritime world and the practicality of a caravan table.
The round table and low parasol gives it a cosy, intimate vibe, perfect for business meetings, working or having intimate conversations by the sunset.
The Kosmos eight-seater is pried at HK$327,184 and is made in Belgium.

The Dedon Yin Yang chairs retail at HK$99,140 and are made on order from Cebu.
