About Us
Who We Are
Gentle Pause is an experiential design studio based in Hong Kong, founded in late 2024.
Drawing inspiration from the subtle poetry of city life, we design and produce experiences that feel both nostalgic and new — weaving the quiet romance of everyday moments with thoughtful, sensory details.
Our Story
Gentle Pause began with a simple yet heartfelt intention: to create a space for emotional retreat and soulful entertainment in a fast-moving world.
Rooted in our love for nostalgia, poetic living, and cultural expression, our journey started with the desire to offer the city a momentary escape.
Our first gathering took place at a scenic campsite in Hong Kong — a Drive-in Theatre Event under the open sky. Surrounded by mountains, soft grass, and moonlight, it became more than a film screening; it was a getaway, a collective exhale, an invitation to feel.
Inspired by that spirit, we continued to reimagine cinematic experiences through immersive formats — including our Secret Cinema and Jazzing Cinema series — extending our passion for culture and art, and our pursuit of ritual-infused living.
Our Vision
We are growing towards hospitality — shaping permanent spaces that carry the same spirit: a cultural room, a place to pause — where entertainment, emotion, and connection come to life.
Through creativity, storytelling, and shared presence, we continue to explore new formats of gathering — crafting experiences that linger.
