» Befitting the impressive scale and presentation that gallery ATT19 can always conjure, their current exhibition "An Orchard In A Box" is a showcase that brings together two of the buzziest names in Thailand's creative industry together. Multi-disciplinary design studio Vinn Patararin and Thai artist Phannapast "Yoon" Taychamaythakool have joined forces to create a visually-stunning showcase -- one that is filled with paintings, live art and digital projections to outfits with pop-up shoulders shaped like strawberries.
A new dawn

» Evoking the colours of an Italian sunset, a lush display of flowers that deck the Author's Lounge at Mandarin Oriental set the stage for Bulgari's first event of the year in Thailand. This trunk showcased over 100 pieces of extraordinary high jewellery pieces from various collections, 20 of which were exclusive one-of-a-kind. A handful of timepieces for gents were on display too, and the brand's full-scale presentation is an indication that the Roman jeweller is doing well and emerging from the pandemic in strength.
For the love of design

» When House of Fritz Hansen in Soi Somkid first came to life in 2017, the white house from the 1950s it inhabited was polished into a showroom to display how luxury Danish furniture pieces could fit into a Thai home. Sleek and clean minimalism usually comes to mind at the mention of this Scandinavian name -- but the global rebrand that has been set into motion since last year is injecting quite a popping touch of colours, fun and modernity to its overall aesthetics.

A brush of talent

» "The first thing that happens when I enter a meeting room is we all laugh and this is before we have even started talking about work yet," Seatapron "Bell" Korwanichakul says of the lovely clients he has been fortunate enough to work with. It should come as no surprise that this amicable artist, better known as Painterbell, is the person behind the wildly loveable and joyful characters John and Lulu. Seatapron first started drawing a blond-haired, French-looking boy and girl for fun five years ago for his Instagram account. Slowly over time, the cuteness of the sibling duo steadily found their fame, with countless brands, ranging from fashion, furniture, communications to toiletries, who sought his cartoons to add a touch of cheer to their products. Today, John and Lulu, along with their friends and other Christmas characters, are decking out the squares and halls of CentralWorld as well as of other 33 branches of Central across the country.

» For the first time ever, heel fanatics will be able to buy themselves a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes for approximately 62 baht. That's a crazy good deal, considering how a pair of shoes from this luxury high-end brand should set you back no less than 20,000 baht. The catch, however, is that all this must be done (and worn) in the Korea-based gaming application Zepeto.
A heart-racing time at the track

» Locals say The Fullerton is where the best view is when it comes to the Formula 1 races held in Singapore, but, to be honest, a 360 view has nothing on being near the vroom-ing roar of engines, right at the heart of the happening. Unless you were to throw a party for 40 in your suite's veranda, it's probably a better idea to splash on getting actual tickets to the event than paying five times the usual room rates. For a first-timer to this whole night-race experience and F1 weekend in Singapore, there is nothing quite as infectious as the collective gasps and cheers every time a race car zooms by or how one derives guilty pleasure when witnessing a crash.
Feeling all right

» There is a stillness -- borderline boring -- to Scrubb's chosen mode of visual expression. The constant of stony faces and stock-still poses that embellishes all of the band's album artwork, editorial photo shoots and magazine covers is bequeathed on us too, as Torpong "Ball" Chantabubpha and Thawatpon "Muay" Wongboonsiri laugh through gritted teeth that it is actually a strain for them to smile for the cameras or to assume the role of a dancing monkey.
Breaking the law never looked so cool

» Reboots of larger-than-life franchises that plunk in an all-female cast are always a good idea. Why? Not because of all that feminism babble, thank you very much, but because women definitely have more fun. It was the case with Ghostbusters last year and Hollywood has done it again this time by putting female stars into the world of heists pulled by the Oceans. In this latest edition, following the three previous films directed by Steven Soderbergh, we meet Sandra Bullock as the recently paroled Debbie Ocean -- younger sister of the (maybe) deceased Danny Ocean.
Swiss inspiration

» Installation artist Arin Rungjaeng has created a sculpture formed by a thousand golden teardrops -- a symbol of the historical relations between Siam and Portugal -- and last year he unveiled a solemn bas relief that commented upon the military past of Thailand.
