Thai finds to love at L’indochine

Back from one of their many adventures, inspiration seekers Char Carlos and Leona Panutat or C&L as they are fondly called, have brought home Thai finds to love at L’Indochine. With skills that are passed down for generations, Thai crafts have long been a reflection of the people’s creativity and ingenuity. The intricate detail and meticulous methods of Thai artisans show their inventiveness, while their elaborate designs showcase their perseverance. Moreover, the abundance of natural materials such as wood, wicker, palm leaves, rattan, and coconuts make it possible for Thais to produce beautiful and inexpensive handicrafts.

Thailand has a rich history in their wooden art form. Traditional tools are used to chisel and bring to life intricate and awesome pieces. Some pieces are so exquisite that they can be seen adorning the temples and palaces in and around Thailand. Each of these exotic woodworks is intricately and exquisitely carved. In L’Indochine’s new collection, there are intricately carved decorative wood panel, mirrors and tabletops by Thai artisans.

There are also modern pieces inspired by traditional Thai metal works and ceramics. Animal figurines, vases, bowls and boxes all recall the creamy white slip fine clay in the Sukhothai and Sawanhalok tradition. Thai pottery and ceramics are distinct by mixing indigenous styles with preferences for unique shapes, colors and decorative motifs.

These Thai finds are available at L’Indochine stores located at the 3rd level of SM Aura Premier and at the 4th level of SM Mega Fashion Hall.
