Curvistan – AutoApp Dev https://www.autoapp.sg/dev Mon, 02 Dec 2024 14:45:39 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 New ‘Porsche Unseen Design Studies’ Exhibition Launched At Curvistan Bangkok https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=279363 Mon, 02 Dec 2024 14:45:39 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=279363 Deep in the heart of Bangkok lies a haven for petrolheads – Curvistan Bangkok.


This season, the concept space is turning heads once more with the launch of the highly anticipated “Porsche Unseen Design Studies” exhibition.

For over two decades, Porsche’s Michael Mauer has been at the helm, steering the brand’s aesthetic evolution from the Porsche Design Studio in Weissach. Known for pushing boundaries, Mauer’s visionary concepts have remained tantalisingly out of reach until now. 

This exhibition brings together a treasure trove of Porsche’s secretive design prototypes, offering visitors a rare peek into the brand’s experimental side.

One standout star is the Vision Spyder, a modern ode to the minimalist design of the 1950s Porsche 550 Spyder. With its spartan cockpit, retro red racing stripes, and aerodynamic fins, it exudes both nostalgia and forward-thinking design.

Visitors to Curvistan will be treated to a sneak preview of the one-off Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade. Before its official unveiling in Thailand, this bespoke model, created through Porsche’s Sonderwunsch programme, dazzles with its light-shifting Chromaflair pigment and Southeast Asian-inspired accents.

The “Porsche Unseen” collection includes 1:3 scale models of experimental concepts like the Macan Vision Safari, an off-road reinterpretation of the popular SUV, and the Vision E, a Formula E-inspired design.

Curvistan’s mastermind, Stefan Bogner, the creative force behind Curves Magazine, couldn’t be prouder. “The ‘Porsche Unseen’ collection was one of the most fulfilling projects I’ve ever done,” Bogner shares.

“Bringing it to Curvistan Bangkok is a dream come true. We hope design fans, Porsche fans, and car enthusiasts from Thailand and beyond make Curvistan a must-visit on their next trip to Bangkok.”

Curvistan is no stranger to creating immersive experiences. From its beginnings in Munich to stints in Singapore and now Bangkok, it’s a space that celebrates the intersection of art, culture, and automotive excellence.

Running until 28 February 2025, the exhibition is open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with free entry.

Curvistan Opens New Location In Bangkok https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=277060 Fri, 30 Aug 2024 07:36:27 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=277060 Curvistan recently had its grand opening on 28 August 2024, at its new Sukhumvit 38 location in Bangkok.


This dynamic venue merges the worlds of car culture, art, and design into a unique space that serves as a bar, café, art gallery, and social hub, perfect for the Porsche community and beyond.

In the heart of Southeast Asia, Curvistan Bangkok is the brainchild of Stefan Bogner, the creative force behind the globally celebrated Curves magazine, and Chanond Ruangkritya, a visionary entrepreneur and passionate Porsche enthusiast.

Together, they’ve crafted a space that promises an unparalleled experience for car lovers, particularly those with a soft spot for Porsche. The venue, conveniently located next to the BTS Thonglor Skytrain station, is set to become Bangkok’s latest hotspot for enthusiasts who appreciate both high-octane drives and high art.

Stefan Bogner, known for his stunning photography, design prowess, and deep-rooted love for Porsche, is the mastermind behind Curvistan. As the publisher of ‘Curves,’ a magazine that captures the essence of the journey, blending the beauty of nature with the thrill of motion, Bogner’s vision found a kindred spirit in Chanond.

The CEO of a leading Thai real estate company, Chanond has long dreamed of creating a Porsche clubhouse in Bangkok. With the opening of Curvistan, that dream is now a reality.

“It’s an open space where the Porsche community can connect, share their passion, and bring their dreams to life,” said Stefan Bogner, Founder and Creative Director of Curves Magazine.

“Curvistan is a unique blend; a coffee shop, automotive gallery, art space, and concept store all rolled into one. Every element works in harmony, thanks to collaborations with top local curators. I’m thrilled to see Curvistan reach another milestone in this prime Bangkok location.”

Backed by Porsche Thailand and Porsche Asia Pacific, Curvistan arrives on the heels of exciting developments in the Kingdom. The two organisations recently launched the regionally-assembled Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupe in Thailand, offering fans an elevated product at a competitive price.

As first deliveries begin, Porsche Thailand is also gearing up to open three new dealerships in Bangkok, further expanding the Porsche family in Thailand. The aim is to grow the community, connecting like-minded individuals who can share their stories and enjoy their Porsche sports cars together.

Curvistan’s unique vibe is amplified by partnerships with leading local lifestyle and design brands such as Das Treffen, Socrates Delicious Syrup Company, IMPACT Exhibition Management, and VITRA.

The gallery will showcase rotating exhibitions drawn from the Porsche universe, with a new collection every two to three months. The inaugural exhibition, “Porsche: A Design Manifesto,” delves into the holistic design philosophy that defines the Porsche brand, spanning everything from sports cars and watches to sunglasses and skyscrapers.

Curvistan Bangkok will be open daily from 7 am to midnight, with the exhibition area accessible from 7 am to 6 pm. For more information and updates, follow Curvistan Bangkok on Facebook and Instagram.
