Transform your home with Bill Bensley-designed pieces from The Slate Phuket, recreating the resort’s luxurious and eclectic style.
Reimagine your living space with exclusive Bill Bensley-designed pieces from Phuket’s most coveted resort, The Slate. For those fortunate enough to have spent time at The Slate Phuket, a resort that redefines luxury, the experience doesn’t have to end when you check out. Thanks to a unique offering from the resort, guests can now take a piece of their holiday paradise home with them – quite literally. Imagine lounging in the same lavish king-size bed, soaking in a bespoke black bathtub, or enjoying the soft glow of an exquisite chandelier, all designed by the world-renowned architect and designer Bill Bensley. This is not just a resort; it’s a lifestyle, and now, you can bring it all home.
At the heart of this stylish offering is the “Design Your Home” package, which allows guests to recreate Bensley’s bold, eclectic designs within their own living spaces. Known for his daring use of color, fearless patterns, and a unique fusion of local culture with modern luxury, Bensley’s vision is both whimsical and timeless. His design for The Slate, his first hotel project, has become synonymous with playful sophistication, and the resort’s artistic interiors have left an indelible mark on the guests lucky enough to experience them.
For those seeking to live in a perpetual state of holiday bliss, The Slate offers a package that includes signature furniture and décor from the resort’s stunning interiors. From its luxurious beds to its intricate chandeliers, Bensley’s creations are designed to make you feel relaxed, inspired, and completely at ease. “Each element was carefully selected for both its beauty and the emotions it evokes,” explains Krystal Prakaikaew Na-Ranong, The Slate’s owner. “We wanted guests to feel that they could take a piece of that experience home with them – more than a memory, but a true lifestyle upgrade.”
Priced at 1,000,000++ Thai Baht (approximately $30,000 USD++. Euro 27,000++), the Design Your Home package includes not only signature pieces like The Slate’s iconic black bathtub but also a two-night stay in one of the resort’s luxurious pool villas. Imagine waking up to an in-villa breakfast served by your personal butler, indulging in a Coqoon Rebirth massage for two, or enjoying a private Pilates session – all while contemplating how your own home could soon echo the creative genius of Bill Bensley.
And the magic doesn’t stop there. The Slate’s boutique, The Stockroom, has become a destination in its own right. Filled with one-of-a-kind artisanal items – everything from bathtubs and cutlery to local art and jewelry – this curated space reflects the spirit of Phuket’s rich cultural heritage while maintaining a commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship. “Our store is unlike any typical resort shop,” says Krystal. “We focus on exclusive items, many of which are bespoke or handmade, representing local talent and international flair. It’s about bringing home a piece of Phuket’s soul.”
The design of The Stockroom itself mirrors the industrial-chic aesthetic of The Slate, with subtle nods to Phuket’s tin mining history. Wandering through the boutique feels more like exploring an art gallery than a retail space, with treasures to uncover at every turn. Each piece on display has been handpicked to reflect Bensley’s signature style—bold, imaginative, and just a little bit whimsical. Guests looking to bring home more than just memories can explore an array of handcrafted items that perfectly blend luxury with functionality.
For design lovers, this opportunity to own a piece of Bensley’s vision is a rare treat. His work, celebrated for its boldness and creativity, transforms spaces into storytelling canvases, where culture and design intertwine. The Slate has become the epitome of such creativity, offering guests a chance to not just admire but live within Bensley’s artistic world. “This is better than any traditional souvenir,” says Claude Sauter, General Manager of The Slate. “We’re giving guests the chance to extend their holiday experience, to live every day surrounded by beauty and artistry.”
Whether it’s the plush softness of the bedding, the elegance of the bespoke chandeliers, or the architectural wonder of the black bathtub, Bensley’s designs have the power to transform any home into a personal sanctuary. It’s not just a look, but a feeling—a constant reminder of the joy, relaxation, and creativity experienced at The Slate.
So why settle for a mere memory of your stay when you can immerse yourself in luxury that lasts? With The Slate’s Design Your Home package, you can transform your living space into a designer dream.
