Central Chidlom Elevates Signature “BEAUTY BONUS” Campaign into Artistic Beauty Experience from 1st July – 31th October 2026
Featuring the unique contemporary art of KOTAO, a rising Japanese-French sensation known for mesmerizing, surreal portraits that blend softness, translucency and fluid textures.
BANGKOK – Central Department Store, under Central Retail, has reinforced its status as a flagship destination that transcends traditional shopping. It has become a true curator of inspiration, bringing together handpicked products, services, art, and personalised experiences under one roof. Most recently, Central Department Store collaborated with KOTAO (Kotao Tomozawa), a contemporary painter garnering international acclaim, to create a unique artistic experience for its signature “BEAUTY BONUS” campaign. KOTAO’s artwork serves as the campaign’s new Key Visual, redefining its visual identity. This initiative perfectly reflects the modern department store concept: creating experiences that extend beyond shopping by seamlessly weaving together beauty, art, and cultural value.
Bringing Art to Life: Central’s Signature Beauty Campaign
Central Department Store has selected one of KOTAO’s masterpieces as the central Key Visual for the BEAUTY BONUS campaign because her art explores beauty in a profound, complex, and unique light. This aligns perfectly with the philosophy of Beauty Galerie, which views beauty as more than just physical appearance, but rather as a reflection of individual identity, image, and inspiration through a contemporary, distinctive lens.
As one of Central’s signature beauty campaigns held four times a year, BEAUTY BONUS is highly anticipated by beauty enthusiasts for offering escalating rewards based on beauty purchase — the more you shop, the greater the bonus.
BEAUTY BONUS campaign runs from 1 July to 31 October 2026 at Beauty Galerie department, every Central store. The campaign offers exceptional privileges for customers purchasing cosmetics and fragrances under specified conditions, including:
• Up to 5,000 Baht in cash coupons or digital coupons.
• Up to 27.5% Rewards with double The 1 points redemption of your total purchase (exclusive to Fri – Sun)
• Up to 20% in The 1 & Credit Card Rewards
This edition of the BEAUTY BONUS campaign will be promoted across Central Department Store’s omni-channels, including in-store displays, out-of-home media, and social platforms. By featuring KOTAO’s artwork as the campaign’s core imagery, it offers a fresh perspective on the world of beauty — showing that it is not confined to cosmetics, skincare, or fragrances, but is deeply connected to art, personal taste, and self-expression. This makes BEAUTY BONUS more than just a promotional campaign; it becomes a cultural expression that brings together art, beauty and self-expression, telling a contemporary story of beauty that aligns with Central’s vision of creating meaningful customer experiences.
Integrating contemporary art into the BEAUTY BONUS campaign stands as a testament to Central Department Store’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of retail, transforming the shopping experience into an inspirational destination that beautifully bridges beauty, art, and lifestyle.
Experience the BEAUTY BONUS campaign from 1st July to 31st October 2026 at Beauty Galerie, every Central store. For more details, follow Central Department Store’s communication channels.
