Cartier, a renowned French luxury Maison, has unveiled the newly renovated boutique at Siam Paragon. Inspired by traditional Thai houses, the boutique’s design pays tribute to Cartier’s living heritage, while celebrating the culture and tradition of Thailand.
The long-standing relationship between Cartier and Siam started in 1907 when the French jeweller was awarded a royal warrant of appointment with the royal seal of King Chulalongkorn, the fifth monarch of Siam under the House of Chakri. The appointment followed the King’s royal visit to Europe when he paid a visit to Cartier’s flagship boutique at 13 rue de la Paix in Paris. King Chulalongkorn bought high jewellery for Queen Sri Bajrindra as a stratagem to build the image of Siam as an equally civilised nation with European colonisers to forestall these colonial powers from targeting at Siam.
Cartier Siam Paragon Boutique has opened its door in 2006. Over the past 15 years, it has always been instrumental to Cartier’s presence in Thailand. The major renovation of this boutique marks 115 years of relationship between Cartier and the Court of Siam, filling its 400-square-metre space with elements of Thai architecture based on a design concept inspired by traditional Thai houses together with subtle combination of Cartier’s iconic design elements right from the first step into the boutique. 

The International Ozone Day 2021, the Department of Industrial Works of the Ministry of Industry was the main institute responsible for the mission of implementing, in accordance with the Montreal Protocol, the reduction and eventually the end of the usage of chemicals that deplete the ozone layer. This accomplishment is achieved through activities and campaigns organized on the International Ozone Day, which this year’s slogan is “Good Ozone, Good Life”. This slogan aims to acknowledge and informe Thai people on the importance of the ozone layer, in addition to support the future direction that the public sector and relevant institutions are striving for, in order to see tangible results and changes.
 
“The ozone layer is at 10-15 kilometres above the sea level. It has the duty of absorbe the ultraviolet rays, especially the UVB. However some of the UVB rays are able to reach to the Earth’s surface. The depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer will lead to an increment of UVB rays passing to the Earth’s surface. The depletion of 1% of the stratospheric ozone layer results in the intensification of 2% of UVB rays’ ability to pass to the Earth’s surface, which would increase the development of skin cancer by 3-6% in people. The more the UVB rays can pass through, the more damage it would cause to life on earth, including humans, animals, and plants. Significant is the effect on the human skin: the UVB rays can change our DNA and cause skin cancer. It would also affect the agricultural crops production to decrease due to the damage in the photosynthesis process that lessens the plant’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide and stunts their growth. This more carbon dioxide would increase in the atmosphere, leading to a growth in global warming and results in the world temperature becoming off-balanced” said Viraj Vithoontien, Department of Industrial Works’ advisor for the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol.

Iconic American designer Nicole Miller has launched her Pre-Fall 2021 collection, which is partly inspired by an early 2020 visit to Northern Thailand’s ancient jungle where rescued elephants roam in their natural habitat.
