The Beauty of Difference, 2025
RES, a contemporary aluminum furniture brand rooted from KUN Decorate and Conquer (the legendary steel furniture brand), both under the Kunakij Furniture Industry Co., Ltd. - a 70-year-old furniture factory - presents a very first time captivating exhibition exploring the diverse facets of beauty.
Through the lens of Yaowarat, where everything begins!
Yaowarat is a well-known, vibrant district in Bangkok among Thais and tourists from all over the world. We might not know or overlook something which is called “change”. The exhibition unveils a narrative about transformation and the enduring beauty of change. While this bustling neighbourhood is renowned worldwide, others often overlook the rich cultural tapestry and the harmonious blend of tradition and modernity that define Yaowarat.
The exhibition, divided into three sections - The Beauty of Difference, The Beauty of the Past, and A Harmonious Dissonance - delves into the future, past and present showcasing the unique perspectives of 12 designers and artists.
The exhibition unveils the hidden beauty in human-made inventions in various dimensions which are embedded in the way of life that we may overlook through the medium of metal, particularly steel and aluminum. By combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, the artworks invite viewers to discover new perspectives on metal and appreciate the limitless possibilities of this versatile material.
