Casablanca Launches the Latest CASA-V 7A Bedding
Meeting Seven Major Sleep Needs in One Step
Enjoy High-quality Sleep and Protect You and Your Loved Ones Every Night
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2025 – As a leader in the bedding industry and a trusted Hong Kong brand for over thirty years, Casablanca is dedicated to providing the highest quality and healthiest sleep products. Focusing on innovation and excellence, the launch of CASA–V 5A in 2015 defined a new standard for antibacterial bedding, demonstrating the brand’s relentless efforts in improving sleep hygiene and comfort. With the TVC production is the first fully AI-produced advertisement in Hong Kong’s home textile industry, and it will be broadcast simultaneously on television and other media, the 7A bedding series continues this legacy, offering advanced antibacterial functions, long-lasting protection, and unparalleled comfort, creating a safe and worry-free sleeping experience.
Revolutionary Breakthrough: 7A Anti-Bacterial Sleep Technology Bedding Remains Antibacterial After 150 Washes
7A Anti-Bacterial Sleep Technology bedding, developed by Casablanca, is a revolutionary antibacterial technology that ensures long-lasting antibacterial and deodorizing functions. It effectively removes toxic elements during textile dyeing processes and decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes (azo dyes). This provides a healthier and safer sleep environment, meeting seven major sleep needs in one step.
CASA-V 7A Antibacterial and Antimicrobial Mechanism of Far-Infrared Bedding
Far-infrared radiation is an important form of heat transfer. This technology utilizes special heating fibers and their characteristic absorption reaction to efficiently convert electrical energy into far-infrared radiation. Far-infrared antibacterial fabrics maintain their original softness and quality while delivering significant antibacterial and antimicrobial effects.Far-infrared radiation has a wavelength of 4-14μm, mainly 8-14μm, while the fabric absorbs 4-12μm. It’s an electromagnetic wave (4-1000μm) that can emit, penetrate, and resonate. Since the wavelengths match closely, far-infrared radiation creates a resonance effect when it hits the fabric. This resonance can penetrate the skin, reaching deep tissue, altering DNA, and inhibiting bacterial growth. With time and warmth, it enhances the fabric’s far-infrared power to fight bacteria effectively. It’s safe for your body and provides excellent antibacterial and antimicrobial effects.
Textiles produced with this technology exhibit remarkable antibacterial and antimicrobial effects. After 150 washes, the antibacterial rate still reaches 88-98%, meeting the high standards of T/GDBX056-2022 AAAAAAA grade.
When the positive radiation rate of far-infrared rays reaches a certain level, it can have the following effects on the human body:
1. Activates Water Molecules, Increase Oxygen Content
Far-infrared rays can make blood water molecules more active, increasing the body’s oxygen content, revitalizing cells, enhancing disease resistance, and delaying aging.
2. Improves Microcirculation
Far-infrared rays can accelerate blood circulation, expand capillaries, reduce heart burden, help the body expel waste, improve metabolism, and lessen the burden on the liver and kidneys.
3. Promotes Metabolism
By improving microcirculation, far-infrared rays help quickly expel waste from the body, reducing harmful substances like heavy metals, lactic acid, and uric acid.
4. Balances Acidity and Alkalinity
Far-infrared rays can purify the blood, improve skin quality, and prevent joint pain caused by high uric acid levels.
7A Anti-Bacterial Sleep Technology: The Best Choice for Protecting High-Quality Sleep
Designed for high-quality sleep, combining advanced technology with comfort to make every night’s rest an enjoyable experience. Let the 7A Anti-Bacterial Sleep Technology protect you and your loved ones every night, making every sleep a top-quality experience.
1. 7A Antibacterial Technology
Through the Principle of Far-Infrared Resonance Absorption, Ordinary textiles are transformed into materials with antibacterial and antimicrobial functions. The beddings maintain their original physical and processing properties, and after 150 destructive washes tested and certified by national standards, the antibacterial and antimicrobial efficacy is still guaranteed at an effective rate of 88-98%. Achieving the 7A grade of antibacterial textiles, they can maintain excellent antibacterial effects, ensuring long-term antibacterial performance to protect the health of you and your family.
2. Anti-Aromatic Amines
Capable of breaking down harmful aromatic amines, protecting you from potential carcinogens, making every breath you take safe and worry-free.
3. Thermostatic Fiber
Using the principle of far infrared materials, it can maintain an appropriate body temperature for a prolonged period, allowing you to enjoy a comfortable and constant temperature experience in all seasons. Far infrared can transfer heat to the body, raising skin temperature, while the fabric enhances still air retention, improving warmth and promoting blood circulation.
4. Anti-Mite

Etiqa Insurance Singapore and AIA Singapore Join Forces to Expand Accessibility of Takaful for Customers
Under the partnership, Etiqa Insurance Singapore’s suite of Shariah-compliant Family Takaful products will be distributed through AIA Singapore and AIA Financial Advisers, the nation’s largest tied distribution channel comprising more than 6,300 highly professional, qualified AIA insurance representatives. This expanded reach significantly increases accessibility and choice for customers seeking principled and values-aligned protection and savings options.
Growing Demand for Values-Based Financial Solutions
Global demand for Takaful continues to rise as consumers increasingly prioritise financial solutions aligned with their personal values. The global Takaful market is projected to grow from US$36.5 billion in 2025 to US$63.6 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%[1]. Since launching its Takaful offerings, Etiqa Insurance Singapore has seen strong and accelerating momentum, supported by rising consumer awareness and growing confidence in Shariah-compliant financial protection.
Creating a Unified Takaful Ecosystem in Singapore
The partnership brings together the complementary strengths of both insurers to build a more cohesive and accessible Takaful ecosystem:
- Etiqa Insurance Singapore — The pioneer in reintroducing Takaful insurance to Singapore after more than a decade, with deep expertise and a dedicated Shariah advisory framework.
- AIA Singapore — One of the nation’s leading life and health insurers with extensive distribution capabilities, broad community reach and a diverse customer base.
Together, the two organisations are positioned to significantly expand the availability, understanding and adoption of Takaful solutions in Singapore.
“This partnership marks an important step in advancing access to Shariah-compliant protection and savings solutions in Singapore,” said Claudia Soh, Acting Chief Executive Officer, Etiqa Insurance Singapore. “By leveraging AIA’s extensive distribution network and strong presence within the Muslim community, we can scale Takaful solutions more effectively and reach customer groups that have historically been underserved. As demand for values-aligned financial planning grows, this collaboration reinforces our commitment to inclusive and responsible insurance.”
“This partnership with Etiqa is a pivotal step in our commitment to inclusivity and we are excited to work together,” said Alvin Fu, Chief Distribution Officer, AIA Singapore. “By integrating Etiqa’s Shariah-compliant expertise with our highly professional AIA insurance representatives, we can serve a wider customer base, close protection gaps and help more families live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.”
Bringing Takaful to the Masses
While rooted in Islamic principles, Shariah-compliant, values-based Takaful solutions serve a broad spectrum of customers and appeal to increasingly values-driven consumers seeking ethical, transparent and socially responsible financial protection and savings solutions beyond the Muslim community.
Beyond distribution, Etiqa Insurance Singapore shares a long-term commitment to raising awareness, understanding and adoption of Takaful solutions across Singapore. Through educational programmes and community engagement initiatives, the partnership aims to enhance financial literacy, deepen understanding of Takaful principles and bring Takaful education directly to underserved communities, empowering consumers to make informed decisions on protection and savings.

Two more world-class arts events are coming up this week, namely, Art Basel Hong Kong (27-29 March) and Art Central (25-29 March).
Art Basel Hong Kong returns to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre with new sectors and fresh curatorial perspectives. Featuring 240 galleries from some 40 countries and territories, the fair presents artworks by established artists and emerging talents from around the world.
Highlight sectors include “Encounters”, showcasing 12 artworks of expansive sculptures and installations drawing on the Five Elements — space/ether, water, fire, wind and earth, while “Insights” features 20 projects focused on artists from Asia and the Asia-Pacific region. Among the newly added themes this year are “Echoes” – a brand new sector spotlighting works created within the past 5 years –, and “Zero 10” dedicated to art of the digital era.
Other returning sectors cover “Discoveries”, which is dedicated to solo presentations by emerging artists from 25 galleries and “Kabinett”, staging thematic presentations with a total of 35 projects, as well as public programmes offering free public access to “Film”, “Conversations” and “Exchange Circle”.
Hong Kong’s strength in global cultural connectivity is reflected in its position as a leading arts trading hub. “Later this month, we will finalise the details of our collaboration with Art Basel for the next five years. This is the result of sustained investment in our role as a global financial centre, cross-sectoral collaboration, and a shared commitment to make Hong Kong a place where the arts can truly flourish,” Law said.
There’s more for art enthusiasts to enjoy, with Art Central (25-29 March) lighting up the iconic Central Harbourfront, presenting works from over 100 galleries and 500 artists from Hong Kong, Asia, and beyond. The fair’s 11th edition sees the debut of Central Stage, spotlighting artists with recent, current, and upcoming participation in institutional exhibitions, biennials, and other landmark curatorial endeavours of international standing.
This trio of arts and cultural events is part of the wider Hong Kong Mega 8 – a legendary line-up of eight world-class events throughout March and April. Completing the line-up are the Hong Kong Derby and Champions Day (horse racing), UCI Track World Cup (cycling), Hong Kong Sevens (rugby) and LIV Golf Hong Kong.
“I am sure this exhilarating blend of sports, arts and culture will bring you many enjoyable moments and fond memories, infused with the city’s unique spirit and unstoppable momentum,” Law said.

“For many, the future may feel less certain, more complex, than it did when we were at this event a year ago. But rest assured: Hong Kong stands strong and unwavering – a city where capital, institutions and families can keep a firm footing, even as the world around them is shifting,” the Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, said in his welcome remarks. “More and more family offices are turning to Hong Kong. We are now home to over 3 380 single family offices – a 25 per cent increase in the past two years. More than half of them have second-generation members, or beyond, in leadership roles. This reflects the confidence that ultra-high-net-worth families have in Hong Kong as a base for wealth transfer between generations.”
The night was highlighted by a magnificent “human-robot lion dance” performance at the start, where traditional lion dancers performed alongside agile robot dogs, bringing the stage to life through vivid movements. The display was a seamless blend of cultural heritage and cutting-edge technology, embodying Hong Kong’s spirit of embracing both tradition and innovation, while echoing the Summit’s focus on frontier themes such as AI and robotics.
Set against a vibrant blend of heritage and innovation, attendees of the principal dinner had an enjoyable night filled with great food and lively exchanges. They were also impressed by the fascinating world-famous Hong Kong skyline, glamourised by photo spots decorated with neon light and retro Hong Kong vibes set up at an open area of the venue. The beautiful night scene created a more relaxing atmosphere for them to connect and share their ideas of bringing social impacts with their wealth.
Tomorrow, family office decision makers and successors from around the world will engage in thought leadership by speakers on three core themes – “Strategic Asset Management for Family Legacy”, “Cultural Value Foundation for a Thriving Market”, and “Smart Tech Innovation Driving Capital Appreciation”- as well as a fireside chat on “Sports and Philanthropy” at the WGHK Summit. These conversations aim to inspire participants in various ways towards building legacies, reinforcing Hong Kong’s status as the premier hub for global family offices for legacy planning and value creation.
