For select global citizens, luxury shopping has become a contact sport. They flit from one capital to the next, finding their footing with familiar brands, which display essentially the same merchandise worldwide\u2014think Stella McCartney or Louis Vuitton. Globetrotting Interior Design<\/em> Hall of Fame members George Yabu<\/a> and Glenn Pushelberg<\/a> know a thing or two about luxury, too, though they prefer to shop outside the bubble. For them, the thrill of a new destination is its bounty of local discoveries to write home about.<\/p>\n

Of late, the pair have been shuttling back and forth from Toronto and New York to Bangkok, where they\u2019re completing interiors for the luxe Park Hyatt. It won\u2019t debut until next year, leaving plenty of time to explore the city\u2019s adventurous design scene and cuisine, which they\u2019re already extolling. Meanwhile, in the podium at the base of the hotel, the Central Embassy shopping mall has opened. Its Yabu Pushelberg\u2013designed concept store, Siwilai<\/a>, reflects their impressions, perhaps offering a taste of what\u2019s to come upstairs.<\/p>\n
