First up is Zig Zag, located in the trendy Siam Square area of Bangkok, the store is full of quirky designs. We asked the guys to highlight some of their favourite items, and the end result is a very European affair, as all the products chosen are Dutch-designed. First choice are the Radar toys from grafitti artist Delta (Pictured above), a set of really cool “fu-manchu” looking robots. Next, the guys picked out two graphic print tees also from Delta, as well as two from Rockwell, the brand by Dutch illustrator Parra. Stay tuned for more Prime Cuts from Bangkok.
