We have to admit that life is short and art is

long! The value of great design will always be

there for us to admire regardless of time. And

if we’re lucky, those precious pieces will

sometimes reappear in new versions so that

younger generations are able to appreciate the

beauty of the larger-than-life designs.

This New Year’s issue of 8HOURS is

entirely packed with timeless design items –

starting from the column “In Focus” where you

can get insight of the classic 111 Navy Chair,

used in the U.S. Navy base in 1944, still it is

eye-catching today. You’ll find out the originality

of Thailand’s brand, Doi Tung that has applied

the concept of sustainable design from day one

to its business with flying colours in the column

“Green Style.” And if we’re talking about

stunning Thailand Pavilion, one of five most

visited pavilions in the World Expo 2010; we

cannot forget the name Index Creative Village

whose team is working behind the success. That’s

in the column “Possibility.” Last but not least,

in “My Space+My Design,” you’ll definitely see

how uncomplicated design of Crystal Design

Center (CDC), Asia’s biggest design center,

can give rooms to delicate details.

All of the above examples are just some

parts of the phenomena that mark their impact

on our world, community, and people. For this

New Year, let’s do “something great” to make it

worth for the future generations.

Happy New Year!

You’ll never believe this modern chair is the

reincarnation of a classic chair from 1940s.

Now appears in a new, lighter version, the

timeless chair is made from recycled bottles

and is admired today and indefinitely.

Emeco 1006 chair or “Navy Chair” has

become a symbol of classic furniture design

since the 1940s. Built in aluminium under 77

individual steps to get into tip-top shape,

Emeco Navy Chair was invented with

simplicity, durability and lightweight quality to

satisfy the U.S. military needs during the warfare.

The Navy Chair’s iconic design began

catching the attention from fans around the

world, and even more boomed when renowned

French designer Philippe Starck joined in to

create his own version of the famous chair.

Recently, it has made a big, influential movement

in the fashion and design scene. The project

“111 Navy Chair” debuted earlier this year

with the sustainability commitment to the

society. Modelled after the original Emeco

Navy Chair 1006 and featured 6 shades of

colour, each 111 Navy Chair contains a mix of

60 percent RPET plastic(recycledpolyethylene

terephthalate plastic) together with a special

chemical combination of other materials

including glass fibre for strength. The most

stunning news is it is estimated that more

than three million PET plastic bottles will be

repurposed annually for the production of 111

Navy Chairs.

Sustainable Development, as we all know,

implies economic growth together with the

protection of environment quality. The essence

of this form of development is maintaining a

balance between the human need to improve

lifestyles and feeling of well-being on one hand,

and preserving natural resources and ecosystems

on the other. Not as many businesses, including

those with advanced technology can ideally

reach true definition of the theory, but Doi Tung

has applied itself to this philosophy for over

two decades.

Under the patronage of the late Princess

Mother, Princess Srinagarindra or Somdej Ya,

who then had a strong vision and passion to

raise the quality of Thailand’s ethnic minorities’

life in Doi Tung area, the “Doi Tung Development

Project” was founded in 1988. While working

at the Mae Fah Luang Foundation in Doi Tung,

Chiang Rai province, Somdej Ya collected as

much as information and created such project

in order to help people in the location to live

better in a sustainable way and reforest the

area from shifting cultivation and Opium

plantation.

The spirit of Doi Tung doesn’t take hold

only on the brand itself, but also on every single

living creature; especially ‘human’ who are

creators of all things. Every line of Doi Tung

products is uniquely designed. They are all

made of local materials, and derived from the

hands and the heart of its local people. Today,

Doi Tung has been developing its products to

reach an international level with the assistance

from its design consultant, Paul Yuille – design

expert from the University of the Arts in London.

The most popular Doi Tung ceramic ware

is famous for its intriguing designs with the

Doi Tung identity. Throughout the production

process–from the start until finish–it is

important to make sure every step including

clay and raw material selections, waste and

defect control, time consumption, molding

process, and decaying status of the expired

products won’t leave any damages on the nature.

Not only the ceramic ware, Doi Tung’s

other green products–like home accessories

made of homespun fabrics, hand weaved ready-

to-wear clothes made of local materials,

homegrown coffee and macadamia nuts, and

orchids just to name a few–are guaranteed with

high quality and design. Moreover, Doi Tung

has marked its beautiful and sustainable spot

on to the tourists’ map as it is ideal for ecotourism

and open for public education. Doi Tung is a

place and the organization which has proofed

that sustainable development really exists

and can lead to success–as measured in

the form of profits and local people’s quality

of living.

Great hangout place for design lovers!

Crystal Design Center (CDC) was launched

two years ago and has grown to be such a new

haven for those who crave for world-class and

quality designed items. Here, not only can you

meet up with designers face-to-face, but this

center also offers you wide range of design

information through its knowledge center.

Contrary to its variety on design purposes,

the CDC’s office is intended to be guileless

style in the midst of small elements – all of

which reflect its design expertise. “Here at our

office, we focus more on functionality. You can

see that a working space is kind of private

and quite flexible. While limited space, our

office was designed to be compliant for

newcomers and less on design aspects. We

finally agreed to put the use of the furniture

at their fullest and the CDC’s corporate logo

color, which is green, to remind everyone of

our identity,” said Kitpote Chuntasto, Vice

President – Architect Design Department, CDC.

Featuring the organization’s distinctive

design dexterity, the collection of the furniture

used becomes very crucial in the eyes of

Kitpote. “Many pieces of our furniture are

imported, because we are design center. We

want to provide opportunities for our clients

to get to know the best and world-class

furniture. Anyway these items are mingled

well with high quality design of Thai products,

for example, we displayed international

branded furniture together with Rockworth’s

in the conference center area. That’s a very

good combination! We love it!”

“Our principle is: one piece of furniture

should be multi-tasking. Whether to serve the

needs of more staff getting in or the space

conforming, good furniture should provide all

the answers. ROCKWORTH furniture never

let us down. They are in top quality, blessing

designs and colors, and come with selections

of materials. We cannot overlook all those

details, because we spend long hours each

day, every day, sitting on the chair. It is important

to choose the professional office furniture

brand like Rockworth for those incomparable

qualities and after sales services. This is

what we chose.”

Kitpote added that good designs can

elevate the capacity of work. “The interior

team did manage the space and its functions

quite efficiently. They separated spacious

floor plan with small dividers so that people

can work privately on their own. At the same

time, they can work together as a team.

Even some small details like the hidden wires,

practical desks, and the option of soft tone

color have delicately chosen to inspire

people at work.”

Sarinrath Kamolratanapiboon

Partner, Business Development

dwp (Design Worldwide Partnership)

Even though Design Worldwide Partnership

(dwp) received recognition and awards both

in national and international levels, Sarinrath

Kamolratanapiboon, Partner, Business

Development of dwp admitted she worked

up a sweat in the CDC project.

The veteran project head told 8HOURS

Magazine, “We knew we had to follow the

CDC theme concept of becoming one of the

largest design centers. Back then, these

design centers were seen in the States,

Germany, and in Europe. There was nothing

like that in Asia. So we had to do lots of

researches of who the customers were going

to be. It appeared that the number one target

customer were designers, then those who

were building their house. This gave me bunch

of challenge, because we had to set our

standard high enough to show this project

to other designers who were our direct

customers.”

Sarinrath decided to develop the CDC

in a new spectacular way with the wit of

simplicity. “We avoided something replicated.

This project needed something novel. So we

decorated the Conference Center on the

2nd

floor with the brand-named furniture

and applied every corner with completely

different characteristics. In other words, we’d

love the customers to experience diverse

views and thoughts. Another exhilarating part

was that we mixed architectural ingredients

to bring life and flow to our interior designs.

When you look at the triangular plan of the

atrium, it looks similar to the CDC’s logo. We

also play with this form whether on the shape

of wall decorations or carpets to highlight

the uniqueness of the idea. For working area,

we made it an open office. A private office

would only belong to an executive, and the

rest would be divided into meeting rooms.

The CDC team has made it easier for us since

they could give us the whole concept of what

they really wanted. Apart from that, their in-

house design team also gave us a big hand

when it came to quality control.”

In the furnishing part, Sarinrath ensured

she and her team chose the best quality

furniture for everyone. “The right furniture

depends on each individual’s work and duty.

For example, a flexible working space is

designed for salesperson, who is not going to

sit long hours in the office. Then they can

work as individual and also work in team.”

“We always present many furniture

brands to our customers, depending on our

design concept. But in the end, every detail

including the looks and functionality are all

that matter,” Sarinrath ended the interview

with a smile.

Mr. Kreingkrai Kanjanapokin

Co-Chief Executive Officer

Index Creative Village

If you attended the recent World Expo

Shanghai China 2010, you’d be surprised

by the popularity of Thailand Pavilion as

Chinese spectators queued up in kilometres.

And that also means Thailand’s unique

culture and artistry has received a warm

welcome from its visitors.

Index Creative Village is the teamwork

behind the success. The event organiser was

responsible from the exterior architecture

of the Thailand Pavilion to local and international

PRs, which yielded the nation’s pride.

The expo display concept is categorised

in 3 eras: Technology Innovation, Culture

Exchange and Nation Branding. In addition,

the event marketing created by Index

Creative Village has made everything proper

to represent Thailand in the best possible way.

“We’re lucky our team has had a lot of

experience in event marketing field, which

we think would benefit this exposition.

Nation Branding is however similar to

marketing, but we have to think outside the

box. We studied our target group first. See

what they really want. Then created our

strategy to reach them. I don’t think visual

alone is enough. If the pavilion looks great,

but nobody comes to visit, it’s no use at all.

Or even if visitors decide to come and see

inside, but finally nothing impresses them,

that’s become a failure. In my opinion, good

design should be measured in all aspects,”

Kriengkrai Kanchanapokin, Co-Chief

Executive Officer of the Index Creative

Village said.

“The toughest parts in this project

are the limitation on budget and the space

management. Compared to the size of the

venue which is the total of 5.28 square

metres, it is obvious that Thailand Pavilion

is so small. For this reason, we have to

challenge ourselves how our small ‘Thailand’

would feature its best characteristics among

other countries. At the preparing stage, we

did some research on Chinese people.

I can tell you they knew so very little about

Thailand. That’s why we have to present

Thailand Pavilion in elegant way and strike

them right at first sight.”

“Finally, the pavilion was designed

under ‘Harmony of Thai’ concept. Designers

chose to present the pavilion in traditional

Thai style to express our country’s roots

and ways of life rather than in the modern

design. We noticed that in the previous expo,

other countries’ pavilions were designed in

modern approach. So this time, we avoided

it as we knew we would be invisible if we

follow the same direction. Guided by the

concept of ‘Thai Perspective’, the pavilion

featured elegant design motifs that are

distinctively Thai ancient arts. We also

applied technologies like 360-degree hydro-

screen which is over 6 metres tall, LED

chandelier, larger than 7 metres underwater

screen and other details that we didn’t

overlook. We were the only pavilion in the

expo that welcomed visitors with originally

Thai receptionists. I think we have left a very

good impression to our fellow countries.”

“What we’re mostly proud of is that

the Pavilion was among 7 pavilions that

were most visited – around 35,000-38,000

visitors per day or total of over 7 million

throughout the expo. It was voted ‘the most

popular pavilion’ from Shanghai Daily Online.

Moreover, the result from the world’s number

one marketing research company, Nielson

Company, stated that visitors now realised

that; Thailand is one of the world’s great

tourism destination, Thai people possess

friendly characteristics, and Thailand has got

rich and interesting culture. The research

has also shown that 100% of visitors voted

that Thailand Pavilion is uniquely Thai, while

98% said they feel good about our country

and Thai ways of life. 96% of the visitors will

spread their words about Thailand Pavilion,

99% of visitors will do more research about

Thailand, and 93% say that they plan to

visit Thailand in the future. Thailand Pavilion

attracted local and international media, as

seen in the media coverage worth over 155

million Baht. It is said that the participation of

the country at the World Expo has achieved

such a remarkable success and is one of

the supporting reasons that push Thailand

towards hosting the World Expo in 2020,”

Mr.Kriengkrai said.

1. Breakfast is vitalIf you think breakfast is not a big deal, think

twice. Statistics have shown how breakfast is

good for your body and mind, and can helps

you concentrate on your work even better.

With the need for various kinds of nutrition and

glucose to perform tasks, your brain cannot

function well and may risk having Alzheimer if

you keep skipping breakfast consecutively.

2. Refresh your brain with many sips of water Due to the fact that 85 % of our brain is water,

it is necessary to drink 8-10 glasses of water

per day to boost up your brainpower. To make

this possible for urban lifestyle, prepare a jug

of clean drinking water on your desk during

the work hours. Often sip as much as possible.

3. Try 10-minute meditationIt takes only 10 minutes to brighten up your

day. Whenever you have time, sit down, rest

your shoulders, and uncross your ankles.

Place your feet flat on the ground, your hands

loose in your lap. Close your eyes – try not to

think about anything else for a while.

A healthy brain not only improves your memory and concentration, it reduces the risk of Alzheimer and other diseases. Here are 7 easy ways to increase your cognitive skills…

Concentrate on your breathe-ins – breathe-

outs. This unbelievably unwinds your stress

and makes your brain perform at its best.

4. Exercise your brainTo have great memories, eat well and eat right

is not enough. What you need to keep your

brain alive and function fast is “brain exercising”.

Good examples include memorizing important

phone numbers instead of looking them up in

your phone memories, or doing some instant

calculating in your head instead of using

calculator.

5. Organize your lifeTaking notes nice and clean can visibly enhance

attention span, focus, and memory. Random

lists of things can be difficult to remember. To

make it easier, try categorizing the individual

or top-priority things from the list. You’ll receive

a lot of benefit, especially getting a healthy

brain and organized life in return.

6. Create vivid mind mapping imagesPeople tend to remember information more

easily if they can visualize it. A mind map is a

diagram or a graphical method of taking notes,

generally takes a hierarchical or tree branch

format, with ideas branching into their subsections.

The visual, which always comes with colors,

symbols, or lines, helps stimulate both left and

right sides of your brain and also boost up your

creativity skills.

7. Read moreReading helps you with imagination and brain

development at the same time. The layers of

information you receive will definitely be

decoded and interpreted. But if you are too busy,

practice reading through words around you --

whether it is on billboards or newspaper --

would actually be a best brain booster.

Use these techniques once in a while and try to slow yourself down a bit. You will find out your memory is not as bad as you think.

Due to continuously improve of technology, information sharing and communication; the work environment has been changing to a more virtualized network. Thus, the work space also has to be adjusted to meet higher requirements, support efficiency, improve productivity and foster employee involvement and creativity, which is main purpose of office space.

Office space in the future tend to have less private area but more collaborative areas, like shared office. The shared office creates co-working environments which benefit the company in terms of economical advantage, forward thinking environments that increase both creativity and productivity.

Second, the workplace will be no longer a one-size fits all solution. With improvements in technology, employees can seamlessly move from a home office, to a private workplace office to a drop-in workstation or team room. Workers can collaborate virtually with one another.

Although it seems like people can work remotely, the workplace will remain important, but its role will be evolving. Organizations use their offices to emphasize their brands, reinforce worker engagement and hold loyalties for both employees and clients. The work place will continue to have numerous activities.

Therefore, organizations need to bring together technologies, organizational and geographical aspects of workplace innovation, human and sustainability to meet the evolving world of changing.
