Nippon Paint Thailand | Decorative recently captivated attendees at the Architect ’25 Expo with their “NIPPON PAINT THEMATIC PAVILION: THE FUTURE CITY,” a stunning showcase of innovation, creativity, and sustainable colour solutions. Held from April 29th to May 4th, 2025, at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, the pavilion offered an immersive experience, reflecting Nippon Paint’s leadership in shaping a smarter and more sustainable future through the power of colour.
A Pavilion Inspired by Colour and Sustainability
Inspired by the humble yet essential designer’s “colour fan” (Fandeck), the pavilion, designed in collaboration with the pbm Design Studio, was a testament to imaginative reinterpretation. Its futuristic, curved structure, intriguingly presented with a clean white exterior, stood as a calm focal point amidst the expo’s vibrancy. However, the organisers invited visitors to journey through a spectrum of possibilities, akin to exploring a vast palette of over 2,300 shades. The thoughtful design also embraced sustainability, with construction using curved steel and wood assembled with traditional Thai wood joining techniques, allowing designers to disassemble and reuse materials post-event.
Spotlight on Smart & Sustainable Paint Technologies
At the heart of “The Future City” was the “Smart & Sustain” concept, demonstrating that paint is not merely decorative but a vital solution for elevating the quality of life. Nippon Paint Thailand showcased a remarkable array of innovative products. Highlights included Nippon Paint Weatherbond, an ultra-premium exterior paint known for its heat-reflective properties that contribute to reducing long-term carbon emissions, and the health-focused Nippon Paint AirCare, an interior paint that purifies air by absorbing formaldehyde and inhibiting viruses and bacteria, all while being low-odour and GREENGUARD GOLD certified.
Other cutting-edge solutions featured were Nippon Paint Nature Care, Asia’s first interior paint incorporating natural rubber latex; Nippon Paint Hydro All-in-One, a versatile water-based acrylic primer and topcoat; and Nippon Paint Ultraguard, an exterior coating offering durability up to seven times the MOG standard, complete with a 20+ year warranty when applied as per the recommended system. The display also intrigued visitors with futuristic innovations such as Conductive Paint, Peelable Coating for temporary applications, and Lumi-Extra Paint that glows in the dark.
Immersive Experiences and Industry Engagement
Interactive experiences like “Colour Brainwave,” which used a brainwave scanner to help visitors discover their unique personal colour identity, and immersive displays further engaged architects, designers, developers, and colour enthusiasts. These elements foster a deeper connection and understanding of colour’s profound impact, reflecting Nippon Paint’s commitment to being “Inspired by You.”
