An open space to connect, Curvistan celebrates car culture

SOCIAL & LIFESTYLE

Celebrating the spirit of the global Porsche community, Curvistan Bangkok on the corner of Sukhumvit 38 is a collaboration between Stefan Bogner and Chanond Ruangkritya, an entrepreneur and dedicated Porsche enthusiast. 

The venue offers leisure and entertainment for the Porsche community, apart from housing a bar, café, an art gallery and a hangout that celebrates car culture, art and design. With various local and international curators involved, this space aims to provide an unparalleled experience for motorheads and Porsche lovers alike.

“It’s more than just a place, it’s an open space where the Porsche community can connect, share their passion and see their dreams come to life,” says Bogner. “Curvistan offers a unique blend of coffee shop, automotive and art gallery, and concept store, providing a vibrant experience for all Porsche enthusiasts. This was achieved through collaborations with distinguished local curators, each a specialist in their field, ensuring every element of Curvistan works in perfect harmony. I am thrilled to celebrate another milestone for Curvistan in this prime location of Bangkok.”

Curvistan pop-up galleries have already excited the car communities in Munich and Singapore. Bogner, a multi-talented photographer, designer and die-hard Porsche enthusiast, is the man behind Curvistan. As the publisher of the magazine “Curves”, Bogner captures the beauty of the journey itself, blending nature, motion and design. His vision resonated deeply with Chinned, who always envisioned creating a Porsche clubhouse.

Elevating the Curvistan experience is a network of local lifestyle and design partners. Leading the collab is Das Treffen, Asia Pacific's largest Porsche community, which organises events featuring rare classics and limited supercars while also publishing a magazine that nurtures the Porsche community in Thailand. Socrates Delicious Syrup Company is a prominent player in Bangkok's nightlife with 10 bars, while other contributing partners include Impact Exhibition Management, which owns The Coffee Academïcs. Vitra brings timeless style to Curvistan through furniture and lifestyle pieces created in partnership with Norse Republics, and has recently launched  a new furniture series in collaboration with Porsche.

The gallery will display curated collections from the Porsche universe, which will rotate every two to three months. The inaugural exhibition "Porsche: A Design Manifesto" explores the holistic design philosophy and diverse aesthetic cosmos behind the Porsche brand — from sports cars and watches to sunglasses and skyscrapers.

The venue is open from 7am to midnight, with the exhibition area being open from 7am-6pm.
