Raffles Attends Bangkok Design Week 2021
Raffles International College Bangkok will participate in an academic exhibition as part of Bangkok Design Week 2021, which will take place at Samyan Mitrtown from July 3 to 11, 2021.
The academic exhibition features 26 qualifying works from students all around Thailand who participated in the “A New Interpretation of Face Wear” design competition, as well as student work from ten design institutes.
Nang Phyu Phorn, a Raffles Fashion Design student, will present her master project, “HALLUCINATION,” at the Raffles booth. She describes her work in the following way: “The unconscious mind is like a pool of thoughts, memories, and feelings outside conscious awareness. In the end, it often influences our behavior and what you wear.”
By putting their knowledge into practice to create these kinds of projects, Raffles students gain a deeper understanding of what they are learning. Practical work also helps develop skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, which are crucial for future employment. Students fuse advanced theory and skills gained in class with their own originality and personality. Work is completed and turned in as a finished product under the supervision of expert lecturers, simulating a real-world work setting.
Bangkok Design Week 2021 (BKKDW2021), the fourth iteration of the event, will be centered around the theme “Resurgence of Possibilities”. Explore new opportunities emerging from urban revival even amid the current world crises. Exhibitions will be organized in creative districts throughout Bangkok such as Charoenkrung-Song Wat, Samyan, Ari-Pradipat, and Thonglor-Ekkamai.

6 New Gadgets
to Keep an Eye On
NightWatch
Anyone who wants to use their Apple Watch as a bedroom clock will appreciate the NightWatch. It’s an Apple Watch dock that uses your existing Apple Watch charger, but its design magnifies the display of your Apple Watch so you can see it. It also magnifies sound, so you can clearly hear the alarm when it goes off.
AirTag
AirTag is a simple tool for keeping track of your items. By attaching tags to your keys, backpack, or purse, you can constantly have their location on your phone. You can also play a sound on the built-in speaker. If the item you’re searching for is nearby, just listen for it and your hunt will be over.
