SLOW HAND DESIGN Interweaving the Spirit of Thai Craftsmanship

17-22 April 2012

Superstudio Piu, Via Tortona, Milano, Italy

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 Tropical Botanic Collection

The beauty of Thai pewter crafts, has been exquisitely portrayed in the Tropical Botanic collection from Loyfar.  Their home accessories products are created by the same process as jewelry casting.  The casted pieces are assembled and connected by hand through a welding process and the pieces form different functions for the object.  The inspiration for the Tropical Botanic vase collection came from the plant’s organic structure.  The vases give the purchaser of this collection an opportunity to arrange the flowers into different assemblages.
