Key point — One Bangkok launched The Pathom Chair design competition with a 150,000-baht prize; the winning design gets produced and used at PATHOM House. Entries close September 30.
Why it matters — For emerging designers, having work actually produced and used in a real hotel is worth more than the cash prize — it's a rare, professional-grade portfolio piece.
Worth watching — The winning design will signal PATHOM House's design direction and could mark a career launchpad for a new Thai furniture designer.
