TRADITION AND MODERNITY - THE OBJECTS OF ALEXANDER LAMONT
Founded in 2000, Alexander Lamont has been steadily expanding through Thailand and building it’s catalogue for 12 years and has achieved international acclaim and representation. Designed by Lamont himself, the collection is inspired by Thailand’s heritage of craftsmanship and aesthetic vernacular, combining these with contemporary and international elements.
Based in Bangkok, the Alexander Lamont workshop employs over 100 artisans for craft ateliers for shagreen, parchment, lacquer, eggshell, gesso, straw marquetry, gold leaf and bronze finishing to create a unique range of furniture, lighting, accessories and objets d’art. The design process unfolds easily because the design studio is situated above the workshop and this creates a dialogue between designer and artisan and ensures both aesthetic and function are developed to the highest potential.
The company’s philosophy encompasses sustainability, ethical treatment of employees and a desire that objects should last.
