Thai Trade platforms seats, tables and children's furniture by local brands
Dezeen Showroom: from a modular cot that turns into other furnishings, to seating made from recycled materials, the following pieces represent the variety of designs emerging from Thailand.
Spent coffee grounds, sugarcane waste and recycled plastic all go into Thai brand Waste is More's self-made composite material, which makes up the seats and backrests of this seating collection.
In collaboration with designer Jumphol Socharoentham, the stools, chairs and benches in the Slab range have distinctive coloured and patterned areas thanks to their recycled and repurposed materiality.
The frames are made from wood, which comes in stained or natural finishes in contrast with the bright, graphic nature of the recycled components.
Another seating piece recently released by a Thai designer is the Pebble stool, created by Thai studio Atelier 2+ and furniture brand Moonler.
The stool's three-legged base aims to mimic the look of a pile of smoothed stones, which are finished in a way that accentuates the natural grain of the wood.
Furniture brand Hawaii Thai worked with Apirat Boonruangthaworn on a seating system designed for outdoor use that draws on the concept of Native American tipi tents.
Three-sided synthetic rattan panels create a sense of privacy and enclosure in the Teepee pavilion, and their materiality allows them to withstand even the harshest of weather conditions.
Anew Craft Studio's Vipassa chair has a distinctive blackened appearance as a result of the studio's use of shou sugi ban, a Japanese wood charring technique.
The chair's sculptural form aims to encourage users to practice quiet reflection, hence the name Vipassa, a Buddhist meditation practice.
Designer Jitrin Jintaprecha and Thai brand Mother Goose's Parry cot is made up of teak components that can be reconfigured to turn it into a host of other furnishings.
The cot can transform into a single bed, bunk bed, sofa or desk, with the aim being for the furniture piece to continue to serve the child as they grow up.
The five products above were listed on our furniture directory by Thailand's Department of International Trade Promotion, as part of ongoing design-focused award schemes to promote the furniture output of Thailand.
Each aims to show off the variety of furniture that the country is producing and the materials being utilised in furniture production.
