Bangkok--18 Jun--Media Plus Connection
Sansiri hosts “The Auctionista Party”, inviting Sansiri residents and those interested to join in the bidding on Sansiri’s collectable items. Carefully selected from around the world, these rare items went up for auction at Sansiri Lounge, third floor of Siam Paragon. All proceeds at the event without any deduction, made at 752,000 THB would go to support the Children’s Cornerstone Foundation for the better quality of life of children.
Following on from the recent launch of Sansiri Lounge anyone visiting the lounge would be amazed by the collectable items corner inside, where these rare items selected from around the world have been displayed. Khun Apichart Chutrakul, Chief Executive Officer of Sansiri Plc, commented that, “The Auctionista Party is an activity that we really wanted to do. Our wish is that interested Sansiri residents who wanted to join in, could take part in the auction and gain a rare chance of acquiring these 16 collectable items out of more than 100 items that we carefully selected from around the world. And by doing that, it would also be a great chance for them to help out the children belonging to the Children’s Cornerstone Foundation together with us. By creating this auction, Sansiri is committed to bringing new activities to our residents that allow them to participate with us and feel even closer to us as members of the Sansiri family.”
The 16 most sought-after items selected for auction during the event include a black umbrella designed by the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen , a limited edition Brionvega Doney TV, Herm?s baby shoes, a Mark & Lola golf mat, Visionaire magazine edition no.52 (guest-edited by fashion designer Marc Jacobs), a Christian Dior military bag, a Book clutch, a Balenciaga men’s bag, a special edition of the 132.5 origami bag by Issey Miyake, James Bond 007 car models, No Future Companion dolls from Original Fake, an Issey Miyake scarf, a Ruby helmet designed by Karl Lagerfeld, a Ruby helmet by Martin Margiela and Brionvega Radiocubo.it radio receiver, as well as the highlight itself — a classic bicycle from high-fashion label Herm?s that is extremely rare in Thailand. All items are offered with a starting bid price of 0 baht. There was also a talk at the Auctionista Party with especially invited lifestyle gurus. Guest speakers included Polapat Asavaprapha, Chaiyong Rattana-angkul and Praophan Laohapongchana, who were invited to discuss the rarity and importance of each of the 16 auctioned items. As expected the item that got the highest donation income is a classic bicycle from high-fashion label Herm?s made at 310,000 THB by Mr. Thanong Leeissaranukul, Managing Director The Sittipol 1919 Co., Ltd.,
Praophan Laohapongchana, one of the celebrities who joined the event, mentioned that “Each item that Sansiri selected to include in the Sansiri Lounge and for the auction today is a rare item that collectors should not miss the chance to bid on. Each of them can respond to the taste of the collectors very well. Bidding on these items, you will not only have the chance to acquire the rare collectibles that you like, but you can also participate with Sansiri in helping children from the Children’s Cornerstone Foundation. And with your support, the foundation can help and encourage children who are like small tree to grow into a bigger and stronger tree in the future.”
“The Children’s Cornerstone Foundation is committed to building a better quality of life for children in Thailand. As such, we are delighted to say that all proceeds from our auction will be donated to the foundation to help underprivileged children in the country, giving them a better chance in terms of their education, nutrition and working skills. In short, the help will support them to have a sustainable living and a better quality of life so that in the end, they will become a brighter future for our nation. I would like to thank everyone who participated in this activity. Meanwhile for the other items that are not up for auction, the company has just launched a new website — www.sansiri.com/auction - allowing everyone to enjoy bidding on the item they have always wanted from June 9 to 30.
