Three lifestyle brands are redefining Thai heritage through contemporary design. Emerging waves of Thai designers draw inspiration from cultural heritage to create modern lifestyle products. The seamless blend of tradition and innovation results in timeless pieces that resonate with both local roots and global tastes.
Kitt.Ta.Khon
A vibrant collision of folklore and functional art, Kitt.Ta.Khon is the brainchild of designer Teerapoj Teeropas. Drawing inspiration from the Phi Ta Khon festival – an exuberant celebration in Dan Sai District, Loei Province, where locals don vividly colored ghost masks to honor ancestral spirits – Teerapoj channels this cultural narrative into striking pieces of furniture and home décor.
The brand’s ethos embraces a playful ‘kitsch’ aesthetic, transforming traditional Thai handicrafts into spirited, contemporary creations. Whether it is a whimsically detailed table, a sculptural chair, or eclectic home accents, each item is meticulously handcrafted and utterly one-of-a-kind. More than just furniture, they are joyful expressions of cultural storytelling – bold, colorful, and brimming with character.

Charm-Learn Studio
At Charm-Learn Studio, nostalgia takes on a fresh form. Founded by a trio of designers – Chanchai Boriboon, Thanita Yothawong and Natapol Wannaporn – the brand revives beloved Thai household objects of yesteryear: enamel tiffin carriers, vintage glass sets, iced teacups, and classic zinc plates are all reimagined as sleek ceramics.
