Parties on FINDS’ Countdown to Relocation
After 6 years as an iconic fixture on Wyndham Street, FINDS will soon relocate to The Luxe Manor, a stylish boutique hotel in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui. 

Having pioneered Nordic cuisine, fresh fruit martinis and Molecular Mixology in Hong Kong, FINDS has long been a favourite of the city’s sexy and stylish set. A darling of interior design magazines, travel shows, and high-profile events, FINDS has carved a reputation as a creative and inspired lifestyle destination.

FINDS’ festive farewell-to-Wyndham proceeds with The Grand Charity Auction. On 25 August, Wednesday, Master Auctioneer and funnyman Brian Hodgson will lead guests through a parade of FINDS memorabilia meant to be both kooky and nostalgic. Couches on which many a celebrity tush have reclined will go down the hammer, and so are a couple of memorabilia from FINDS founder Colette Koo; "kitchen VIPs" from Executive Chef Jaakko Sorsa; FINDS' iconic crystal chandeliers, feather lamps, wine birdcage, turquoise banquettes and gilded mirrors; and a full dining set from iittala's TAIKA collection, designed by Klaus Haapaniemi, who has designed prints for D&G, Cacharel, Levis, Diesel, and more.

The auction is for a lark, a laugh and a good cause. Proceeds will benefit the Hong Kong Cancer Fund.  There is no registration fee, and the starting bid for all lots is HKD100. Viewing of lots begins at 5.30pm and Live Auction begins at 8pm.
 
“Champagne Meets Scandinavia” – The FINDS Cookbook History Dinner happens on 28 August, Saturday. Prepare for a gastronomic journey through 6 years of FINDS culinary excellence. Executive Chef and Le Cordon Bleu World Food Media Awards nominated author (for ‘SCAPAS DINING’) Jaakko Sorsa presents an exquisite 6-course meal paired with 6 specially chosen boutique champagnes from The Champagne House - the star selection being a vintage 1983 Diebolt - Vallois Millésime Blanc De Blancs.

Priced at a friendly $998 net per head, it’s the perfect meal to enjoy at FINDS before it relocates. Champagne aperitif begins at 7pm. Dinner is served at 7.30pm. Limited spaces available, so make sure you book your table in advance thru reception@finds.com.hkreception@finds.com.hk / (852) 2522 9318

On 11 September, Saturday, FINDS celebrates its final trading day with a party billed: FINDS Alive! The Graffiti Gala . It will feature international artists, the DJs who have kept the party spirit alive and kicking throughout six years, and a slammin’ good time. It’s your last chance to party at FINDS – before its Grand Opening at The Luxe Manor in late November. No better day, as they say, to “Live a FINDS Life!”
