The butterfly effect
B Magazine, Richard Mcleish, Published on 19/09/2010
» In an unlikely marriage, HP, the world's largest PC manufacturer, has combined brand power with Vivienne Tam to deliver the HP Mini 210 netbook, catering to a niche market with its fashion-world cross-over potential. But it's not the first attempt. The Tam and HP partnership started back in 2008, with the HP Mini 1000 digital clutch, and the new Mini continues that legacy, this time with a butterfly motif that is said to somehow symbolise "love, freedom, independence and transformation".

Bangkok's dark underbelly casts a spell
Life, Richard Mcleish, Published on 14/11/2014
» A doctor visiting Bangkok. A beautiful, strange woman. A possible murder. Confusion. Brainwaves. It could be the premise of a slick David Lynch film, but instead it's Dark Bridge Binaural Brainwaves, the impressive debut feature film of Argentine Marcelo von Schwartz. And elevating its interest to the global stage is the use of binaural brainwaves in the soundtrack, putting it at the forefront of the niche "Neurocinema" movement that is gaining attention.

Three times a lady
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 21/02/2014
» Continuing the move southside, Lady Brett is the latest in a slew of new venues luring punters to fresher pastures of the city. Positioned right next door to popular brunch haunt Rocket, her stylish appearance and demeanour confirm she indeed has the same team in support. She’s as upwardly mobile as her namesake character from Hemingway novel The Sun Also Rises and the 1920s New York tavern interior is the perfect mise-en-scene for such a lady to cast her discerning social eye over. It’s cavernous, with plenty of natural timbers and only a small window at the front to seal in the atmosphere. With seating enough for 35 diners, it’s boisterous and intimate at the same time, with the tables for two nestled cosily near each other without being intrusive.

Raising the bar
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 24/01/2014
» Nested in Athenee Place near Phloenchit, the champagne-tinged lounge bar acts like a sun room annex for Athenee Tower that looms above. The glass walls and roof afford it the best of the afternoon light, and a cosy atmosphere in the evening. The slender room is adorned with a long bar (unsurprisingly) and is bookended by an outdoor section and service area from where the culinary goodness emerges. The story is that the existing bar was splashed with an orange colour, even before a certain champagne pairing had been considered, so it was an easy match that evolved naturally. The venue piggy-backs the success of coupled and famed French restaurant Le Beaulieu from praised haute cuisiner Chef Herve Frerard that was established in the same building just over a year ago. The crowd is made up of well-heeled locals and Le Beaulieu faithfuls. Leave your flip flops at home for this one.

Tasty island treats
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 31/01/2014
» With a name that means island in Thai (in case you missed it), a big element here is, you guessed it, the tranquil and tropical surrounds that Samui is now world-famous for. Designed by the famous Bensley Design Studio, the restaurant and bar is perched high up at the deluxe resort so takes in all the villas and jungle right down to the beach and beyond. It's definitely distracting enough to abandon any monetary sensibilities for a meal. The deck is open-air, exposed to the elements to maximise the scenery, and the gentle breeze lets your big-city worries recede quickly into the background. Most people are too distracted by the view to notice the design of the structure with its natural timbers and black marble. The space is big enough for about 70 diners, mostly of which stay in the resort even though its open to outside visitors (tick).
