BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 March 2024 – Louis Vuitton unveils ‘LV The Place Bangkok’ at Gaysorn Amarin, a new destination concept that includes an immersive exhibition, café, store, and a restaurant from celebrated chef, Gaggan Anand. From the inspiring architecture to the dynamic scenography and original menu items, this experiential space invites visitors to discover the breadth of imagination and creation within the Louis Vuitton universe today.
Occupying two floors of the downtown retail complex, LV The Place Bangkok establishes a dream-like aura from its corner location where the façade is enhanced with giant diamond shapes that glow at night. From the inside, the space plays out as a multi-faceted integration of retail, dining and culture.
VISIONARY JOURNEYS
On the ground level is Visionary Journeys, a new exhibition that explores the Maison’s heritage like never before. The scenographic experience developed by globally renowned architectural firm OMA and Partner Shohei Shigematsu, marks the first instalment of OMA and Louis Vuitton’s collaborative partnership, imagining an architectural identity for the Visionary Journey’s exhibition concept. Thematic rooms are constructed into distinct environments recontextualizing historic and contemporary pieces and immersing visitors in the foundational pillars of savoir-faire, innovation, travel, and creation.
Starting with a Trunkscape, where 96 trunk modules have been assembled as a tunnel, the exhibition transports visitors directly into a story of craft and ingenuity. This is followed by Origins, which highlights the specific and notable contributions that the Vuitton family made to the Maison as a 360-degree staging of archival documents and items detailing early inspirations and designs. Trunks from the late 19th century illustrate how Louis Vuitton began as a packer and trunk-maker, while examples of the Monogram canvas through the decades reflect the continuity and innovation of a living brand. Dedicated to Iconic Bags, the next room celebrate 25 years of fashion history at Louis Vuitton through the lens of five iconic bag models (Alma, Keepall, Speedy, Noé and the Petite Malle) and how they have been reinterpreted by the Maison’s artistic directors, Marc Jacobs, Kim Jones, Nicolas Ghesquière, Virgil Abloh and Pharrell Williams, advancing both craftsmanship and style. To emphasise the unique shape, form and importance of these icons, 21 bags and 2 ready-to-wear looks are captured in 19 clear acrylic bubbles that convey the collective contribution of these visionary designers. The penultimate space, Collaboration, dives into the artistic relationships that have yielded some of the most popular and memorable bags in fashion history. Reimagined by Stephen Sprouse, Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami or Yayoi Kusama, seven original creations speak to the boundless potential of collaboration, while a semi-circle of animated screens transforms a backdrop of 184 chrome-dipped bags into a cinematic showcase of each artist’s distinct pattern. Finally, a surprise awaits visitors as they part in the form of a Giveaway Room where souvenirs can be won and collected.
LE CAFÉ LOUIS VUITTON
Also located on the ground floor, Le Café Louis Vuitton exudes a lush ambiance blending botanical design elements with chic details of the Maison, from the Monogram parquet floor to furniture referencing the iconic Objets Nomades. Here, the patisserie selection tempts with cakes, tarts, parfaits and ice cream sandwiches in an array of flavours, each decorated with a signature Louis Vuitton flourish. These tantalising treats include the Star Blossom Cake, a chocolate and caramel cake; the Monogram Cake, a pistachio with orange blossom cake; and a locally inspired iced refreshment called Mango Sticky Rice Fizz, made with mango and sticky rice-infused syrup with a splash of tonic water. Mirroring the climate of the Southeast Asian city, the interior boasts the use of natural materials like wood, raffia and plants. The pièce de resistance is a large, curved counter where the dessert selection is displayed, and clients can explore the confections at their leisure.
THE STORE
Elegant yet infused with vibrant touches, the store at LV The Place Bangkok extends across the upper level in an immersive and contemporary shopping experience. Amidst vintage furniture arrangements and colourful artworks, the layout proposes the men’s and women’s product universes in greater fluidity, curated to capture and captivate the most discerning of clients seeking exceptional design above all else. Those seeking exclusivity can look forward to the launch of the Alma Nano Rainbow available in five colours, a women’s Cruise 2024 T-shirt available in four colours, and a men’s LV Trainer Upcycling sneaker in a unique colourway. These products are worldwide exclusives and only available at this store. Personalisation is available through hot stamping with a special “Nong (meaning younger sibling in Thai) Vivienne” design created especially for the opening.
GAGGAN AT LOUIS VUITTON
Also on the upper level, celebrated Indian chef Gaggan Anand has curated a ‘food journey’ offered across both lunch and dinner for the Maison’s first restaurant in South Asia, “Gaggan at Louis Vuitton.” This culinary adventure is signalled by a pyramid of trunks which lead into a room of undulating walls punctuated with resin structures by Draga & Aurel, Monogram flower lamps, and fringed curtains. The fine dining restaurant accommodates ten Italian marble tables where diners will experience a seasonal menu exclusive to Louis Vuitton and based on the 5 “S” – Sweet, Sour, Salty, Spicy and Surprise. From Thai-inspired dressed lobster to a mushroom recipe in a Damier pattern, each composition is presented on a distinctive dish. Moreover, for clients seeking the ultimate culinary experience, a private dining room provides a view to the kitchen with the simple press of a button.
With works from local and international artists on display throughout the space, the overall concept embraces the vibrancy of Bangkok with cross-cultural flare, just as LV The Place Bangkok extends the ambitious global lifestyle vision of Louis Vuitton. Bringing a wider cultural experience into a single store, this 360 concept for Gaysorn Amarin establishes a new blueprint for Louis Vuitton spaces to come.

29th Feb 2024: Nvidia has done it again. The company just revealed all-time record quarterly revenue of $22.1 billion in its latest earnings release, representing a stratospheric 265% growth over the previous year.
Shares skyrocketed on the news as Nvidia continued to fire on all cylinders across data centres, gaming, professional visualization, and automotive. Its success signals a changing of the guard, with AI and accelerated computing replacing legacy technologies to drive the next decade of innovation.
NASDAQ:NVDA chart: TradingView
“Nvidia sits at the epicentre of generative AI and the enterprise metaverse, areas exploding in popularity,” comments Tobi Opeyemi Amure, a financial analyst at Trading.Biz. “Their ecosystem and full-stack approach strategically position them as the semiconductor leader of the future.”
Key takeaways from its Q4 earnings report:
Nvidia Q4 revenue leapt 22% quarter-over-quarter to a record $22.1 billion
Data Center sales hit an all-time high of $18.4 billion, up 27%
Gaming revenue grew 56% year-over-year to $2.9 billion
Driving this growth is Nvidia’s pioneering work to vertically integrate its hardware, software stacks, and developer community. This creates strong competitive barriers across verticals like conversational AI, cloud gaming, autonomous vehicles, and omniverse simulation.
Additional tailwinds:
Mass adoption of large AI language models for training and inference
The proliferation of metaverse worlds, digital twins and clouded gaming
Evolution of autonomous driving, robotics, and edge AI
Mind-boggling Milestones
Nvidia’s sensational numbers confirm its dominance across multiple multibillion-dollar categories. A few highlights from its record fiscal year:
Overall revenue grew 126% to $60.9 billion
Data Center sales doubled to reach $47.5 billion
Gaming revenue hit $10.4 billion, up 15%
GAAP earnings per share rocketed 586% to $11.93
With trillion-dollar secular trends accelerating worldwide, Nvidia looks poised to continue benefiting from immense demand spanning consumer to enterprise. Its platform model also confers pricing power to maintain sky-high 80%+ gross margins.
