Indigo Pearl
Indigo Pearl experience is an encounter with Phuket's
collective imagination – a gathering of intriguing details, re-envisioned
through imaginative design.
Architecture inspired by Phuket's tin mining past.
Décor that evokes a Thai factory of a century ago. A landscape overflowing
with surprises: the postmodern transformation of a mature plantation,
spiced with modern sculpture and found industrial art.
An experience as rare as an indigo pearl.
Architecture inspired by Phuket's tin mining past.
Décor that evokes a Thai factory of a century ago.
Sleekly polished cement floors. Blackened stainless
steel laden with brass rivets. Balanced with the softness of raw Thai silk
and floral art.
Exposed wooden beams. Punkah fans. Wire-framed
mirrors. Smoked glass. Overhead rain baths.
The landscape: a postmodern transformation of a
mature plantation, spiced with modern sculpture and found industrial art.
Silvery blue palms, light blue plumbago (blue
jasmine) bushes, the sharp sword-like leaves of mother-in-law's tongue.
Blankets of leaves accented with hot pink. Gates of antique iron dotting
the landscape at the entrances of pocket gardens, each with their own
individual character.
