Garden on a plate
Finnish brand Marimekko recently partnered with Kbank to present “The Premier Lifestyle: Marimekko Container Garden Workshop”, a special workshop that invited celebrities to make a container garden using Marimekko’s ceramic plates and bowls and also share gift-giving tips.
manager of Marimekko, Chatura Bunnag, senior marketing manager of Central Pattana Pcl, Sawitri Rochanapruk, Panida Iemsirinoppakul, and Napat Noppasak turned out for the occasion, which was held at Marimekko’s flagship store at Central World.
Piyada Nanta hosted the workshop and offered her tips for gift giving. “When giving someone a present, you have to think about the recipient’s lifestyle and personality, because everyone wants to feel special and unique,” she said.
“Giving a personalised gift is a great idea. There are two big trends in gift giving today. The first is to find a gift that reflects the giver and the recipient. Marimekko is a unique brand, which offers clothes, tableware and lifestyle products. With social media today, everyone wants to present themselves. Marimekko’s unique tableware or clothes have fun stories behind them. For instance, the latest collection of tableware was designed to celebrate Finland’s 100th anniversary. It’s a great gift for anyone – mother, friends, or family. Another idea is to personalise the gift – shirt, bag, or even the container garden we’re making today. These mini gardens are special because you can make them reflect your style or send a message to the recipient, making it a unique gift.”
Guests enjoyed making container garden on Marimekko dishes with help from Nature Collector’s Panadda Pipat.
