Perfecting penmanship
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/03/2018
» Daniel Kohler is the name to have on your speed dial if you are a pen collector. Then again, if you are inclined towards the precious and pricey types of writing instruments, you probably already have Montblanc's head of client relations and high artistry on your contact list. But for those who are just starting out with collecting and happened to miss his visit to Bangkok last month, fret not, because we also didn't get to see the €1.5 million (57.8 million baht) pen we had hoped to see in real life at a private suite at the Okura Prestige either.

Hip, cool and happening
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 24/11/2017
» Over the past few weeks, one particular investment move from our shores -- somewhat equivalent to Crazy Rich Asian's Astrid going on a haute couture shopping rampage -- has been the talk of the town. Thailand's prominent real estate developer, Sansiri, has just invested 2.8 billion baht to buy shares in six of the some of the world's hippest, coolest and innovative names: Standard International, One Night, Hostmaker, JustCo, Farmshelf and Monocle. It's a result of stagnant sales back home and Sansiri's strategy to offer an all-inclusive living solution to their customers, as their president Srettha Thavisin explains. To choose to invest in companies that are young, inventive and trendy, however, shows how the real estate giant has their sights set on the tech-savvy millennials of tomorrow.

Smooth operators

» A Rolls-Royce executive warns not to walk around the recently-passed Bangkok International Motor Show with Victor Braun. Speaking of his colleague who had flown in from the luxury car manufacturer's headquarters in England, he says: "He'll look at things and say, 'Oh, that's all wrong. That's not nice'. His trained eye from Paris makes his taste in art very sharp. He sees things we don't see."

Hottest splurging meccas for fashion?
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 24/02/2017
» When shopaholics of the world plan a splurging spree, Kuwait is seldom the first country that comes to mind. It's not the sort of place that registers on the world consciousness, fashion-wise, the way France or Japan does, but this Gulf country, with its population of roughly 4 million, has been home to the hottest names long before Bangkok has -- despite its religious limitations and seemingly sleepy landscape with an even sandier backdrop. While hardly being tourism-amped as a shopping mecca, it does just as well as such much-more-buzzed-about Middle Eastern counterparts as Dubai. So much is the demand for fashion there that two Thai designer brands, Tawn C. and S'uvimol, have set their sights on this lucrative market and celebrate official launches in Kuwait City this season.

A hands-on experience
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 27/01/2017

Deeper than design
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 21/05/2016
» The design director of Studio Act of Kindness could easily pass for a fashion darling -- with his brand of photographs that flaunt a dark and broody kind of good looks. But just as synonymous with his clouded stares and modelesque poses are a backdrop of amazing spaces with stylish furnishings -- many of which are locations he has had a hand in designing. His latest creation where we meet is a welcome illusory; Track17 is a bar made to look like a Euro-riche train bogey, proper sombre in its woodwork and brimming with trinkets of a bygone Victorian era.
