EP.6 Design Hotel I Wood Element - Elegance and Tranquillity I SO/ Bangkok

The Wood Element rejoices in the calm and affectionate aura provided by the wood element. Nithi Sthapitanonda, the artist behind this aspect of our design hotel Bangkok, brings a contemporary, chic energy to his design to showcase elegance and tranquillity.

Drawing on the aesthetic of northern Thai heritage homes, this designer brings the typical interplay of light and shadow into the 21st century. Teak shutters and rooftop rafters let the balmy sunlight in with such subtlety that the bright atmosphere looks as though it is emanating through the pale wood fittings. Silk murals depicting old Siam, each handmade by the artist himself, bring the walls to life.

The uncomplicated nature of the teakwood furnishings, brightened with pops of orange and cream, blend old and new into one stunning space that befits our urban Bangkok city hotel. The central four-poster bed adds that little touch of extravagant, yet trendy luxury that the SO/Bangkok is so well known for. This space is the perfect nest for our harmonious, peaceful guests.
