This is a collaboration between the Fine Arts Department, Sirivadhanabhakdi Foundation, Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, The Royal Photographic Society of Thailand and The Photographic Arts Foundation. In Glass Plate Negatives: Circles of Centres, Southeast Asia is a divinely-imbued world. As one walks out of the centre of the mandala towards the periphery, there is no sense of place, boundaries, latitude or longitude. Yet, no matter where one goes, everything feels familiar. An essential element permeates every facet of this story, binding layers of ancient philosophy and political discourse. This was the period in which King Chulalongkorn of Siam reigned. It was the height of colonial expansion in Southeast Asia. Siam began to evolve from a mandala to a modern Nation-State, with defined borders and a bureaucratic apparatus.

3 Flavourful Facts about Chef Björn Frantzén
Discover the story behind the kitchen: how Swedish chef Björn Frantzén became the only chef in the world to simultaneously operate three Michelin three-star restaurants. 1. A Historic Milestone The culinary world was stunned at the Michelin Guide ceremony in Dubai, where FZN—operated under the vision of Chef Björn Frantzén—was awarded three Michelin stars, the highest honor in gastronomy. Remarkably, the restaurant had only opened in October 2024. With this accolade, FZN became the first-ever restaurant in the UAE to receive three Michelin stars, instantly joining the ranks of the world’s finest dining destinations. 2. The Man Behind the Magic At the heart of this achievement is Chef Björn Frantzén himself—the only chef in the world currently operating three Michelin three-star restaurants. “This recognition is an incredible honor, not just for me, but for my entire team,” said Frantzén. “Receiving three Michelin stars for FZN in Dubai is a proud moment that reflects the hard work and creativity of everyone involved.” 3. A Trio of Stars Across Continents Out of just 152 restaurants worldwide with three Michelin stars, three belong to the Frantzén Group—cementing its status at the pinnacle of global fine dining, with a presence across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Frantzén – Stockholm The flagship restaurant and the first in Sweden to receive three Michelin stars, a distinction it has held since 2018. Zén – Singapore Opened in 2018 and awarded its third Michelin star in 2021. FZN – Dubai Awarded three Michelin stars in the 2025 Michelin Guide, just months after its debut in October 2024.
