DEESAWAT, a teakwood furniture specialist and LANTARAY, a fashion and lifestyle brand supporting Koh Lanta’s environment, has collaborated to create the Hammock Talay.

These buoys have a short lifespan of only six months before they become blanched by the sun and unusable. LANTARAY’s signature products are fashion accessories and decorative items created from this waste.
DEESAWAT joined forces with LANTARAY to develop a beach lounge. This furniture articulately tells its story while raising environmental awareness, promoting value creation from waste, and simultaneously supporting Koh Lanta’s islanders and the tourism industry there.

GLACIER COLLECTION
Created by: KHRAMER x TOUCHABLE

A combination of salt originated from underground pure saline water sources in the Phu Phan Mountains and natural indigo from Sakonnakhon indigo growers and dyeing communities. The rock salt undergoes disinfecting calcination process. It does not contain any pollutants and magnesium sulfate, or heavy metals. The indigo salt possesses deodorising and dehumidifying properties.
KHRAMER and TOUCHABLE saw the beauty of indigo salt and a new possibility for indigo products. As a result, they’ve joined forces to create a unique design inspired by the shape of the glacier top— the natural shape of the snow-capped mountains combined with a Thai indigo-dyed textile pattern. This item can be hung as a wall art decoration. However, customers can use this art with a room spray or essential oil as an aroma diffuser to add fragrance and freshness to the room.
BAPUPA COLLECTION
Created by: KOCHO x TOUCHABLE
An artwork inspired by the butterfly’s lifecycle is the BAPUPA COLLECTION. As the brand KOCHO designs bags made from community waste products like banana trunks, they saw another opportunity with banana strings. Also, with TOUCHABLE’s main concept, to blend industrial waste products, such as colourful yarn, with community waste products, like banana trunks, the duo created an upcycle ornamental lamp.
FIN CAN FLY IN A FRAME

PHAN COLLECTION
Created by: MOBELLA x SALETE
The PHAN COLLECTION’s inspiration derives from the traditional Thai ‘phan,’ pedestaled trays offering flowers, incense, and candles in Theravada Buddhism. However, to provide a modern touch, they use various universal geometric forms. Specific upholstery methods are also utilised to create these beautiful blended angled corners and curves that make this novel furniture piece.
DECA
Created by: SARNSARD x THANIYA1988
