Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo Partners with Ball Naraphat to Bring Spring to Life Through Seasonal Cuisine and Floral Installation Art

Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo, the MICHELIN Selected Italian-inspired culinary destination located on the 56^th floor of EA Rooftop at The Empire, welcomes the arrival of spring with the debut of “The Spring Atelier”, a seasonal collaboration with Bangkok-based artist Ball Naraphat (Naraphat Sakarthornsap). Bringing together culinary craftsmanship and contemporary artistic expression, the collaboration introduces a new seasonal chapter for the restaurant, where spring is interpreted through both cuisine and visual storytelling, creating an experience where spring blooms and art comes alive on every plate.

Marking this new chapter is the appointment of Head Chef Bjørn Tischner, whose renewed vision is shaped by international experience, refined technique, and a deep-rooted passion for hospitality. Together, the culinary and artistic directions converge to create an immersive spring experience that is expressive, elegant, and thoughtfully composed.

Available from now until 28 June 2026, “The Spring Atelier” celebrates the freshness and vibrancy of the season through a carefully curated menu presented with a modern Italian sensibility. The experience begins with Mackerel with asparagus and dashi, a delicate balance of clarity and umami. A vibrant risotto with parsley, firefly squid, and kumquat follows, where richness is lifted by citrus brightness, while Grouper with white asparagus and champagne sauce reflects precision and seasonal finesse. The journey concludes with a refined dessert of pistachio, mascarpone, raspberry, and coffee, delivering a harmonious and nuanced finale.

Complementing the seasonal menu, Ball Naraphat unveils a bespoke floral installation at Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo, transforming the restaurant into an expression of spring-inspired artistry. The installation reflects Naraphat’s multidisciplinary practice, spanning photography and installation art, and his exploration of identity, emotion, and hidden narratives through the symbolic language of flowers.

Within “The Spring Atelier”, floral elements become more than decorative expressions. Through carefully composed arrangements, Naraphat invites guests to reflect on impermanence, beauty, and the layered meanings often hidden beneath visual harmony. His exploration of floral aesthetics, both historical and contemporary, reveals subtle distinctions embedded within art, culture, and human experience.

Chef Bjørn’s culinary vision and Ball Naraphat’s artistic language converge seamlessly in “The Spring Atelier”, giving rise to an immersive experience where cuisine, art, and atmosphere unfold in harmony. Interpreting the beauty and vibrancy of spring through a lens of creativity, refinement, and the distinctive elegance of Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo, the experience transcends the notion of a seasonal menu, offering guests a thoughtfully curated journey where contemporary cuisine and artistic expression come together to celebrate the essence of the season.
