Refined rawness
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/03/2018
» A step into Bangkok's latest fine jewellery flagship store does not involve upholstered chairs, velvet-lined display cases and plush, crystal lighting fixtures. At Patcharavipa, the earth-toned archaeological plaster floor and walls offer your first feel of the brand's organic characteristics, while the space is sparsely dotted with what looks like slick, rectangular blocks of dark concrete that house the jewellery pieces.

Just for you

» Some like it simple. Spas can definitely swing that way too, and if you want luxury without the whole ornate atmosphere of Marrakesh and glittery tiles, head over to the newly opened Panpuri Organic Spa at Park Hyatt.
A touch of class

» We all have problems, but your super red arowana aquarium fish being too drowsy to entertain your house guests because it just returned from getting a facelift or being locked out of inheriting a 64 acre palatial estate in the heart of Singapore would surely only qualify as "rich people problems".

» It's been a provocative year for Thailand's architecture scene. A handful of world-class superstructures have burgeoned onto Bangkok's skyline, while other ventures are on their way to attract world-class flak for blatant plagiarising. There's just so much to talk about. And the conversation is going to get even more compelling with the addition of 98 Wireless -- which is bound to literally turn the head section on Wireless Road into a slice of the Big Apple this November.

» The king of the sports watch, Rolex, and Cortina Watch have just opened the doors of a palatial boutique and permanent exhibition at Marina Square in Singapore. In the 513m² boutique, you'll be seeing lots of green, a very comprehensive display of the Oyster and Cellini collections (among other Rolex watches set with diamonds, sapphires and rubies) and a proper bar that could easily keep a party of 100 sipping all night.
Deeper than design

» 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.
