When Design, Innovation, and Craftsmanship Converge
On 6 November 2025, Royal Botania Asia and Euro Creations Public Company Limited (EURO) jointly hosted The Blue Hour Garden — an exclusive evening that illuminated the refined spirit of Belgian Outdoor Luxury.
Held at the Euro Creations Thonglor showroom, the event brought together a distinguished circle of property developers, designers, and lifestyle enthusiasts, who share a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and design excellence.
A vision shared between Belgium and Thailand
The evening was graced by H.E. Mr. Michel Parys, Ambassador of Belgium to Thailand, Mr. Kevin Gambir, CEO of Euro Creations,and Mr. Francis Vanbellen, Director of Royal Botania Asia and CEO of SDesigns.
In his address, Mr. Vanbellen shared Royal Botania’s enduring philosophy — blending European artistry with precise craftsmanship and sustainable innovation, creating outdoor furniture that celebrates beauty in everyday living.
The unveiling of Palma Parasol — Red Dot Award: Best of the Best
The highlight of the evening was the unveiling of the Palma Parasol, the world’s first automatic outdoor umbrella, designed by Kris Van Puyvelde, founder of Royal Botania.
Presented by Mr. Francis Vanbellen, the demonstration captivated guests as the elegant mechanism — hidden seamlessly within the sculptural frame — unfolded with a single touch.
The Palma’s minimalist design, free from visible screws or joints, embodies both form and function, and has been honoured with the Red Dot Award: Best of the Best, a global recognition of design innovation.
Experiencing timeless collections
Guests were invited to explore Royal Botania’s signature collections, including the Mozaix Lounge Collection, alongside the newly unveiled Palma Parasol — each piece representing the brand’s pursuit of innovation and elegance.
Among the evening’s most heartfelt moments was the testimonial from Khun Reed Rapepan, a Royal Botania customer for over a year, who shared her personal experience of living with the Palma Parasol at home.
She spoke warmly of both the product and the after-sales service, describing how Royal Botania has become part of her outdoor lifestyle — not just through design, but through trust.
Before concluding, she left the audience with a phrase that perfectly captured her connection to the brand:
“Love at first sight.”
A statement that beautifully reflects how design, emotion, and craftsmanship come together to create something timeless.
A taste of Belgian hospitality
The atmosphere throughout the evening was filled with smiles and laughter — a perfect blend of Belgian refinement and Thai warmth.
Guests enjoyed cocktails and canapés curated by Blue Elephant, paired with Belgian beer and fine wines, as conversations about design and inspiration lingered under the evening’s soft blue glow.
Redefining outdoor living in Asia
The collaboration between Royal Botania Asia and Euro Creations (EURO) represents more than a partnership — it is a shared commitment to elevate outdoor living experiences across Asia.
As Mr. Francis Vanbellen remarked,
“Thailand is one of the most important markets in Asia, with a deep appreciation for quality and design. Through this partnership, we hope to connect with local designers and clients who value authentic craftsmanship and bring European outdoor living into a new cultural context.”
Closing reflection
As twilight settled over Thonglor, The Blue Hour Garden lived up to its name — a moment suspended between day and night, where design met life in perfect harmony.
More than an event, it was a celebration of innovation, friendship, and the quiet confidence of timeless craftsmanship.
