Mandarin Oriental

Descriptions :

The collaboration between the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok and KINNTOR has resulted in more than just a functional object; it is a portable piece of art. By examining the printing techniques and the thoughtful design of its illustrations, we can see how the product honors the "Grand Dame" of hotels.

On the reverse side, the artwork depicts the original Oriental Hotel building surrounded by lush tropical palms. This choice of "Toile de Jouy" style—a traditional French decorating pattern featuring complex, pastoral scenes—evokes a sense of nostalgia and timelessness. It connects the user to the 19th-century origins of the hotel.
