Living with art
Life, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 30/03/2018
» In 1958, legendary Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen together with furniture design company Fritz Hansen conceived the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen -- the first ever design-driven hotel in the world. Believing in "Gesamtkunstwerk", meaning "the total environment", every single aspect of the hotel, from wallpaper to cutlery, was designed to harmonise perfectly with the others. Yet it was Jacobsen's simple but sculptural chairs, designed for lobbies and lounges, that caught the eye of aesthetes. Technologically innovative, lacking in any straight lines, and full of seductive but simple curves, the timeless Egg, Swan and Drop chairs eventually became his global legacy.

Truffles galore
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 09/02/2018
» Inside Sukhumvit 22, just a few blocks away from the main road, lies Truffles Bar & Ristorante, which is about three months old. At first glance, it seems to be one of those usual hole-in-the-wall bars that you see so much of around the city, but don’t be fooled. The front of the restaurant where guests enter houses the bar and a number of open-air tables, which is suitable for when you’re there to have a drink or two. However, delve deeper into the restaurant and you’ll find they have more tables in an air-conditioned room that could accommodate more than 30 patrons easily. Plus, the inside dining area is more suited for when you, family or friends are gathering for a full-on meal instead of just chilling over drinks. The area has a very authentic Italian feel to it and we’re glad that the menu strives to do the same as well.

Rethinking the Russian Revolution
News, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 13/12/2016
» 'We have imagined how things would have been at that time if there was an internet and people were using social media," said Mikhail Zygar, the creator of the biggest-ever interactive historical website. It's called "1917: Free History", and it's a quietly subversive attempt to make Russians think about how they ended up where they are now.
