Dennis Chan on his inspiration for Qeelin.
Qeelin was set up by founder Dennis Chan and Gulliame Brochard in 2004, with the aim of creating a contemporary fine jewellery brand that expresses China’s cultural aesthetics but with French craftsmanship. For those who are not familiar with the brand, you might have seen their store in ifc and their ads with Maggie Chung on billboards at some point.

In a recent Q&A with Luxury Insider, Dennis shared his inspirations and aspirations.
