Asia Books, part of the BJC Group, has made preparations to officially launch the first Tsutaya Bookstore branch in Thailand at One Bangkok shopping centre on Oct 20.
The new outlet will bring the Japanese bookstore concept to the Thai market, positioning itself as a “Cultural and Lifestyle Hub” – a space combining lifestyle and inspiration.
Spanning more than 1,000 square metres across two floors on the ground floor of The Storeys building, the store was designed around the concept “The Waves of Wisdom”, emphasising simplicity and natural elements in keeping with a Japanese style.
The One Bangkok branch in Pathum Wan district will feature four key highlights:
Lifestyle Curation: A collection of more than 50,000 books and magazines in Thai and English, arranged according to readers’ interests and lifestyles rather than conventional categories, alongside quality design products and stationery from Japan.
Children and Manga Zone: A children’s book section with more than 15,000 titles to support learning and development, along with a manga zone and officially licensed merchandise from popular anime titles.
Thai Art Exhibition Corner: A rotating exhibition space to showcase the work of emerging Thai artists.
Book and Cafe: A relaxation area blending reading culture with a cafe, through a collaboration between Wawee Coffee and Cocoa Dutch offering specially crafted drinks and snacks.
Tsutaya Bookstore has been slated to officially open as a new landmark for readers and city dwellers from Oct 20 onwards.
