One-Michelin-starred IGNIV Bangkok, led by Head Chef Arne Riehn, welcomes NAE:UM and Chef Louis Han’s contemporary Seoul cuisine for a dining experience that spotlights The Art of Sharing. The concept of sharing is integral to the IGNIV brand, celebrating not only the joy of sharing exceptional artistry but also time spent together by the kitchen teams—in celebration of culture and cuisine. Courses will consist of multiple dishes served at once for diners to enjoy in harmony. For a one-day-only gastronomic affair on October 29, IGNIV X NAE:UM will showcase a 5-sequence sharing experience, presenting a blend of cosmopolitan fine dining rooted in Swiss origins with local Thai ingredients, alongside nostalgic, contemporary Seoul cuisine.
This is the first collaborative edition of The Art of Sharing experience with plans to be the start of many.
Renowned for breaking the rules of fine dining with exquisite plates presented in a sharing format, IGNIV is founded by Chef Andreas Caminada, a globally renowned culinary pioneer and trailblazer in creative contemporary Swiss cuisine. IGNIV, meaning ‘nest’ in Chef Andreas’ native Romansh, is a nod to the restaurant’s inspiration of a bird building a new nest through gathering materials from its environment. With two sister establishments recognized by the Michelin Guide in Switzerland, IGNIV Bangkok carves out its own distinctive identity by skillfully integrating the highest quality Thai ingredients with Head Chef Arne Riehn’s signature creativity. Complemented by a wine program that encourages interaction and discovery, this warm and convivial service is synonymous with dining in a friend’s home.

Both Chef Louis Han and Chef Arne Riehn share a culinary ethos that values the blend of tradition and innovation. Chef Arne’s work at IGNIV Bangkok celebrates Swiss origin with a strong emphasis on seasonality, combining European culinary traditions with the creativity of using local artisanal ingredients.

At the one-day-only dining event, diners can expect a harmonious blend of Swiss, Thai and Contemporary Korean influences, showcasing the chefs’ shared dedication to creating meaningful, memorable dining experiences through their imaginative use of ingredients and storytelling through food.
“I’m incredibly excited to welcome Chef Louis Han to Bangkok and into the IGNIV kitchen.
