    Jim Thompson Heritage Quarter: Asia’s New Iconic Lifestyle Destination

    November 27, 2023Updated:November 27, 20233 Mins Read

    In the vibrant heart of Thailand, a new chapter has begun with the opening of the Jim Thompson Heritage Quarter, an ambitious project by the legendary brand Jim Thompson. This event marks a significant step towards establishing the first iconic global lifestyle brand from Asia, blending culture, art, and modernity in an unprecedented way.

    The grand opening of the Heritage Quarter on November 24, 2023, was nothing short of spectacular. It was a night where Thai silk’s legacy met contemporary creativity, a celebration of the brand’s new ethos, ‘Beyond Silk’. The event, attended by celebrities like Pruk “Zee” Panich, Chawarin “Nunew” Perdpiriyawong, &  Jumpol “Off” Adulkittiporn, along with top management from Central Group, King Power, One Bangkok and Siam Piwat.

    A stunning 360-degree video captured the essence of the evening, providing a panoramic view of the surroundings. The Jim Thompson Home Furnishings fabrics on display melded historical designs with a modern twist, setting an ambiance of elegance and innovation. The highlight of the entertainment was the ‘Silk Fabric Dance’, a mesmerizing performance that intertwined dance with the beauty of Thai silk.

    The fashion show was a centerpiece of the event, featuring 42 diverse and creative looks. From relaxed beachwear to sophisticated everyday attire, the collection reflected a blend of versatility and elegance. The show culminated with ‘Look 42’, a magnificent Ikat Silk/Metallic Jacquard Gown, reminiscent of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit’s iconic Thai silk gown. This piece not only showcased the brand’s craftsmanship but also its ability to reinvent tradition for the modern aesthete.

    Culinary experiences were not left behind, with Jim Thompson, A Thai Restaurant, presenting a menu of signature dishes. The O.S.S. Bar displayed its mixology prowess, complementing the gastronomic offerings. These culinary delights set the stage for an unforgettable after-party at The Moonlight Hall, with a lineup of DJs and the popular Thai band – Nisatiwa.

    Reflecting on the event, Frank Cancelloni, Group CEO at Jim Thompson, highlighted the brand’s commitment to showcasing Thai culture and its ambition to be Asia’s premier global lifestyle brand. The Jim Thompson Heritage Quarter is envisioned as a multifaceted destination, offering experiences ranging from art and culture to fashion, design, and gastronomy.

    The heart of the Heritage Quarter is the Jim Thompson House Museum, a remarkable collection of traditional teak structures and a tribute to Jim Thompson’s contribution to the Thai silk industry. The Museum About the Man and the Home Furnishings exhibition narrate the brand’s evolution post-Thompson, while the Iconic Store offers a comprehensive retail experience with its distinctive design and range of high-quality textiles and collaborations.

    The Jim Thompson Art Center, under The James HW Thompson Foundation, stands as a beacon for art and cultural exchange, hosting exhibitions, programs, and seminars. This center is poised to become a hub for the local and international art community.

    The Culinary Landscape at the Heritage Quarter is set to become a haven for food enthusiasts. Jim Thompson, A Thai Restaurant, has been transformed into a modern Thai cuisine landmark. The O.S.S. Bar, with its speakeasy vibe, offers an atmospheric setting for evening gatherings. By day, it transforms into The O.S.S. Room, an ideal spot for afternoon tea overlooking a koi pond. Jim’s Terrace and Silk Café complement the offerings with their unique settings and menus.

    The grand opening of the Jim Thompson Heritage Quarter has set the stage for the brand to continue its journey as a leader in the global lifestyle sector. With its rich history, cultural significance, and modern appeal, the Heritage Quarter is a testament to Jim Thompson’s vision and a new iconic landmark in Asia.
