This is a collaborate project with SAMUEL WILKINSON from the UK by designing a collection with the smallest size of teakwood material. In this collection, the team uses 1×1.5 inch of wood which is hardly be used in furniture production. With the theme “Less is more”, “small is luxury”.
The designers try to emphasize the sustainable concept by creating a design that can utilize odd size of timber. The design team has designed a collection with simple and clean lines so that they can be easily matched with all environment and trend.
One of the other sustainable concepts of the team is to design a furniture piece that is timeless and can be passed on to the next generation. This is one of the collections of DEESAWAT as one of the BCG Heroes of Thailand (sustainable development) support by DITP (government) which was launched at MILAN design week in JUNE 2022.
