The approach was to respect history, while simultaneously injecting a modern attitude and a touch of Parisian irreverence. Karl Lagerfeld, renowned designer and a great 18th century admirer, has decorated two exceptional suites on Place de la Concorde and together called "Les Grands Appartements.", which convey his personal vision of French chic and modernity.

Rosewood Bangkok, a striking new landmark for the capital, has opened as an intimate, ultra-luxury hotel on Ploenchit Road in heart of the city’s prime central business and retail district in 2019. Rosewood’s A Sense of Place® philosophy is exuberantly expressed with a design that honours rich Thai culture while celebrating the cutting-edge creativity and contemporary design ethos of the dynamic capital. The silhouette of the 30-storey standalone property is a dramatic addition to the Bangkok skyline. Two graceful, connected structures have been masterfully combined to create a new icon for the capital. The building’s form is inspired by the wai -- the charming Thai gesture of hands pressed together in greeting – and is itself an expression of the Thai capital’s growing influence as a design, fashion and creative hub in the region. The hotel has been designed to create a sense of intimacy and privacy throughout the entire guest journey; the brand’s signature blend of stylish comfort and inspired design is delivered by a décor of rich materials and finishes in a soothing, neutral colour palette. In addition to the structure’s glossy façade and stunning architecture, water features within the hotel -- including a dramatic, indoor 10-story waterfall -- are a tribute to Bangkok, a city built on water. The element of water -- sacred in Thai culture, featuring in rites and rituals to symbolize peace and harmony -- is a pervasive theme throughout the hotel. The hotel also showcases works of established and emerging Thai artists including significant pieces by Preecha Thaothong, named Thailand's National Artist of the Year 2009; Pinaree Sanpitak, one of the country’s most respected female artists of her generation; and Torlarp Larpjaroensook, whose work both challenges and intrigues. The hotel’s “Art Connection” quarterly rotating exhibit features the multi-media works of emerging Thai artists, launching with a showcase of oil paintings by Kittaya Poolsawatdi. The ultra-luxury hotel embraces a striking, contemporary architectural design and is home to 159 guestrooms. In an inspired expression of the brand’s A Sense of Place® philosophy, carefully curated interiors, dining, and spa experiences are an amalgam of contemporary sophistication and a modern showcase of Thailand’s rich Sense, A Rosewood Spa is a sanctuary of simplicity and purity that embraces traditional Thai healing practices paired with natural ingredients that are sustainably cultivated. This is reflected in signature treatments that are based on Thailand’s time-honored “lost remedies” tailored for health and beauty.

Both FILA and Wilson boast a prominent presence in the modern tennis scene. In 1973, the F-Box logo brought the first splash of colour to the all-white tennis tournament attire, a historic moment when FILA established itself in the world map of tennis sport. The brand went on to become the official partner of the US Open for 22 consecutive years from 1982 onwards. Meanwhile, Wilson rose to international fame with the first alloy racket and composite racket, made possible only by consistent innovation in materials. Over the years, amicable competition has spurred both brands to strike sparks off each other as they strived to make waves in the tennis world. The collaboration tapped tennis player Kiki Bertens as the face of the crossover collection. The 28-year-old rising star won a total of 10 WTA titles with current ranking at seventh. A nod to the trending retro style, FILA x Wilson collection presents a coveted ensemble of on-court and off-court apparel, with a sophisticated interplay of classic elements such as the signature F logo and W logo, crispy lines and colour-blocking. Functionality and technical materials play a key role to ensure high performance on court. A perfect union of FILA’s sporty-chic codes and Wilson’s professional savoir-faire, the collection borrows the signature palette and silhouette of Wilson rackets,with the use of the light and breathable triacetate from Japan for excellent practicality. Comfort and style blend well in the versatile line of off-court items perfect for all occasions. The signature logos of the brands are reimagined with stylish logo play and monogram, while athleisure chic dazzles with the brands’ classic red and white palettes. Alongside sportswear items, FILA and Wilson also remake the much-coveted FILA ADE tennis shoes for the crossover. Tennis culture stands out with the collage of mesh and leather inspired by the tennis net. A combination of retro and modern vibes in totality, the shoes feature the brands’ red and white DNA palettes and the iconic eagle claw, while the light and robust Goodyear sole offers a refined final touch.
