Sequence Matters

Onion is widely known for its projects with the Sala hotel chain. Nevertheless, the studio is reluctant to name particular milestones from its 13 years of history. What is clear, though, is that Onion has consistently told its design story with ever greater sophistication and intensity. User experience is always masterfully considered, especially through circulation routes and spatial transitions that enable people to see and feel Onion’s vision clearly.

"The society changes, people change, and Thai-ness changes accordingly."
