The Chiang Mai-based wooden furniture brand was founded back in 2007 by designer Suthi Payothonsiri, whose showroom has joined the Baan Tawai handcraft village. The brand actually started off making carved-teak furniture before turning to industrial design. It uses old wood, scrap wood and tree stumps mixed with steel and leather details to create rugged and manly pieces like the low coffee table (B18,000), New York Sofa (B20,000) and chest of drawers (B15,000).

Founded in January 2014 by designers Kittima “Joy” Chatchaleomwit and Sirinut “Pop” Keetanitinun, who both graduated from Chanapattana International Design Institute. Pop comes from a family of carpenters, and the studio extends its reach into both the wholesale market for high-end wooden furniture as well as the more design-savvy market for minimal-yet-functional pieces. The para-wood furniture ranges from the Matchbox working desk (B9,300) and Perd cabinet (B6,200) to smaller pieces like the Curve wall decor (B120/piece) and Eggstand (B150).

Inthanu Faromkao is a designer and furniture maker who’s worked in Thailand’s home decor scene for almost a decade. This year, he finally put his own brand together, M/O/M, for which he partnered up with his two friends, Piti Kuptawatin and Adiwis Wittaya, to specialize in basic home furniture that can be used both outdoors and indoors. Their designs pretty much stick to the Scandinavian style, but also use a lot of bowed techniques both with steel, like the Ging Kaew chair (bowed steel topped with woven faux rattan, B4,500) and wood like the R&R stool (B3,800). Inthanu, alone, also introduced a second brand at the Baan Lae Suan Fair called Thxful for Small Mercies. This one specializes in home decoration, featuring unique designs that blend Thai wood carving and weaving techniques. Highlights include the beechwood-carved pendant light (B1,650, there’s also an option for walnut wood at the same price), woven tray (B1,150 for beechwood to B1,550 for walnut) and wooden box carved with a lotus pattern (B650-2,150).

Debuted at TIFF earlier in March, this brand specializes in minimal wooden and cushion furniture with Scandinavian touches. Despite being labeled as new, the brand is actually a collaboration between the decade-old ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) furniture exporters, and the young Dots Design Studio, which takes care of the creative side. The result is the Macaron collection (ashwood with green and red cushion, B3,300/stool, B4,200/bar-stool and B7,400/bench), which was quickly featured in Wallpaper* magazine, and the Whipcream Sofa (oakwood with duck feather cushion, B16,900 for one seat and B28,900 for two seats), which won the DITP’s Design Excellence Award 2015.

Capsule (Price TBA) is a wall decor piece with storage room for books and hangers, while the Robin Hook (Price TBA) is a single hanger that allows you to be creative with how you position it on the wall.
