You have chosen Lexington for all the soft furnishings in Bluepoint, you being the sole distributer for Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. How do you get from Real Estate to this luxury American brand? Lexington, www.lexingtoncompany.com is a major player in Europe and has almost 1000 retails locations in 24 countries worldwide. Until 2016 they had no presence in Southeast Asia at all. The Lexington brand provides the consumer with a complete design concept for home textiles.The collection consists of duvets, pillowcases, sheets, bedspreads, blankets, throws, as well as terry towels, bathrobes, pyjamas, table linen, kitchen towels, aprons, details and different accessories. Leading from Lexington’s success in Norway and Europe, we wanted to introduce this fantastic brand to the Southeast Asia markets as well. We signed an agreement with The Lexington Company AB in March/2016 and we are currently their exclusive distributor for Lexington in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. We give each owner the option of fitting out their units in the Lexington style, and we see in our projects worldwide that this is very popular among our clients. Already Bluepoint is becoming quite a success story in Phuket, but looking at your portfolio you are not one to rest on your laurels, what are your plans? After we have completed Bluepoint, we are considering to launch a Bluepoint Phase 2…. More info to follow about this later.

A potential customer or friend asks you why it is good to live in Thailand? What is your reply? I would tell them to choose Thailand for the following reasons: The climate, the Thai culture, the Andaman Sea, and finally: you will in general, get value for your money in Thailand. You’re obviously a well-travelled businessman, you’re taking a short break and going to your favourite place, where is this? Since I have been based in Singapore already for close to 8 years, and if I am not choosing to spend the short break in Phuket, my favourite locations would be back in Oslo, Norway and Marbella, Spain. Tonight, in Phuket you’re going to your preferred restaurant, where are you going and what would you eat? The best restaurants I have tried lately would be Cut and Acqua, and I also like a lot of the dishes at Wine Connection on Beach Road in Patong. What is your favourite pastime in Thailand? It would be to play golf, scuba-dive or long distance bicycle rides. Thank you Kjetil for your time and we look forward to hearing more about you and the sensational project Bluepoint and especially phase two in the future.
