Bangkok is surrounded by shopping malls, but during Bangkok Design Week 2026, the experience feels different. This is especially true across Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Discovery, and ICONSIAM, where a wide range of design programs take over the spaces.

Under the concept SIAM PIWAT CREATIVE POWERHOUSE FOR SUSTAINABLE ART & DESIGN, Siam Piwat positions itself as a platform of opportunity for designers. Creativity is combined with sustainability in many forms, resulting in more than 20 design works and activities this year, including:

Siam Paragon

Discover abstract paintings in Between Earth & Light by Jean-Paul Decroix, and explore the new zone NEXTOPIA: A PROTOTYPE FOR WORLD OF TOMORROW, created through collaboration among change-makers, innovators, artists, and environmental advocates.

Siam Center

Browse the art market Sabai Siam – Thai-Style Creative Market, where Thai artists freely express their ideas, and enjoy the pop-up exhibition LUCKY WITH EVERYTHING by Chubby Boy Club.

Siam Discovery

Experience the ancient Lao spirit through contemporary installation art in KHUAN, then continue to MY PAWFECT BUDDIES, an exhibition and pop-up store created especially for animal lovers.

ICONSIAM

Turn getting lost into discovery with Khlongsan Experience, which invites visitors to explore real locations around Khlong San. Also visit ICONCRAFT X PATTERN.ERS CHOKE-LARB POP UP EXHIBITION, featuring contemporary fashion by five emerging designers from Northern Thailand.

These programs represent just part of the creative power of each mall, each with its own distinct identity. Together, they share a common goal: strengthening the creative ecosystem and contributing to Bangkok as a creative city, driving cultural, social, and economic energy.

Behind the scenes, Siam Piwat has collaborated with designers, artists, and partners from Thailand and abroad to develop the idea of a platform of opportunity. Shopping malls are transformed into experimental spaces that support the exchange of ideas, experiences, and inspiration across cultures, helping elevate Bangkok onto the international creative stage.

After BKKDW, the works will be further developed as prototype models for design and creative practices that consider everyday life, people, and the environment, emphasizing responsible resource use and value creation for local communities.
