If you’ve explored the creative districts like Charoenkrung, you’ve likely come across ATT19, a gallery and art space led by Mook-Ponthip Attakanwong. Dedicated to making art appreciation a fundamental part of Thai culture, Mook envisions art, fashion, and daily life as interconnected.

Bangkok Design Week also emphasizes all dimensions of design and art each year, appealing to creators, design enthusiasts, and art lovers alike. Over the years, ATT19 has consistently been part of the festival’s program lineup.
As a longstanding figure in the art and design community, Mook has shared her recommended program for Bangkok Design Week 2025. Her pick isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about inspiring and uplifting art lovers.

“The program I chose is called Typospective. It continues from previous years, where the first phase turned Thailand’s 44 letters into artworks, and the second phase used histograms to create products. This year, the program evolves into the Typospective exhibition, combining typography and perspective.”
Organized by Phayanchana, the program aims to develop Thai letters into tangible, functional items for daily use. Inspired by the difficulty of memorizing all 44 letters, the exhibition reimagines Thai typography with subtle cultural elements embedded into its designs.
Mook shared why she recommends this program: “It addresses the lack of font designers in Thailand, especially for Thai typography. While English fonts often resonate with people, Thai fonts are often overlooked. Phayanchana is pushing this forward, highlighting the importance of fonts in design and how they convey emotion. Fonts are crucial for exhibition design and storytelling, yet many underestimate their value.”
Beyond serving art and design professionals, Typospective opens conversations for all audiences, helping bridge understanding of art between generations or newcomers. It shows how art and design are no longer separate from everyday life.
“This exhibition is perfect for all ages, from children with their parents to adults new to this type of art. By exploring its deeper layers, people can better appreciate this form of design.”

In addition to the exciting programs recommended by Mook, ATT19 is a key participant in this year’s Bangkok Design Week. This time, the gallery presents not only new artistic expressions but also a special collaboration with a Japanese artist.
“Lines Across Paper: Transcending Borders is an exhibition by ATT19 in partnership with Awagami Factory, a traditional Japanese paper mill, and Craig Anczelowitz, who serves as the factory’s International Director and is part of the family,” explains Khun Muk.
The exhibition highlights Craig Anczelowitz’s works on Awagami Washi, combining art and design through a unique perspective shaped by his experiences in New York, Thailand, and Japan. It explores the blending of cultural narratives and modern craftsmanship.
“During the festival, we also have special programs include a Talk Series by the brand’s artists and four workshops led by Mieko Fujimori, a master indigo dyer from Awagami Factory. She is recognized as a National Treasure of Japan, similar to a National Artist.”

Dialogues of Forms is an exhibition by KITT.TA.KHON, reimagining the ceramics of Suchai Craft with inspiration from Western decorative items like chandeliers, candelabras, and tulip vases. These elegant designs, which reflect European history and culture, are blended with Thai aesthetics to create modern homeware using innovative materials.
“This program stands out by offering products for purchase, not just an exhibition. It’s a fresh idea that lets visitors take home practical designs.
“This collaboration with Suchai Craft stands out for its focus on creating products that are available right away, which is something new for us. The program also includes a talk on Thai rice wine (sato) culture, which adds an interesting cultural angle.”
