The designer from Thailand is studying Graphic Design and Illustration in Stockholm. With Louis armchairs and Ottoman chairs serving as inspiration, these colorful and unique furniture pieces represent a clash of original and mass produces things, showing the difference between expensive and timelessly elegant wood and cheap plastic.
