Thailand a land of colorful people and rich culture has also created an identity that differentiates it from other countries.  Their culture nurtures their skilled craftsmanship and handicraft works from a young age.  Objects, created by hand connect the Thai people to their heritage and history but also represent their present as well.

New blood influences the designs of the present and brings the local identity of craftsmanship into their modern industries.

Thailand’s pride of Design Excellence (DeMark) award showcases the craftsmanship and the new design development to reflect the inseparable relations between local creative wisdom and the global context of industries.

The Dapple lamp

Ango is renowned for its witty local material invention that continues to surprise the public in many of their lamp design collections. The Dapple lamp is another design that pleases with its material usage.  The nickel wire structure is connected to form a lamp shade cover then it is crocheted with silver silk threads.  This technique assures that the lamp will provide the ultimate glitter impact, which makes it a jewel in the area of functional Thai crafts.
