Hay makes furniture which looks like it belongs on some designer blog about niche and hideously expensive brands. The truth, though, is quite different. Design blogs; yes. But expensive; no. This cult Danish furniture label turns out a whole lot of items that are perfectly affordable for your average design junky. Get your hands on classic, minimal pieces like the Crinkle blanket in Bordeaux (B5,990), an hour glass in the brand’s signature powdery mint color scheme (B1,550), or even some colorful steel trays in geometric shapes from just B725. Want to make a statement splurge? Seek out the lounge chair with wooden legs—yours for B63,240. 

 

 

Sexy, functional, colorful and tres, tres French, there’s a whole lot to love about Fermob’s fun-yet-elegant garden furniture. You can create your own set of colorful chairs and tables from any of their collections: go retro with aubergine, honey and lagoon blue, or add a contemporary pop of zesty “Verveine” green. Prices range from a Cabanon cushion (B3,240) to the humongous Bellevie table (B75,000). We like!

 

 

No one does shiny metal statement furniture quite like British industrial designer extraordinaire Tom Dixon. His sleek pendant lamps and roly-poly chairs have been brightening up swanky industrial loft spaces for decades, and now can be found in Bangkok at Motif stores and Siam Discovery. Look away now if you think Habitat’s expensive, though. His elegantly warped “Melt” ceiling lights will cost you anything upward of B55,000, while the Bell table light comes in at B46,200 and the now-iconic Wingback chair at B598,000. But the rest of us can get in on the Dixon action too thanks to his gifts and accessories second line, Eclectic by Tom Dixon. Check out the B3,800 scented candles next time you’re in the market for a stocking-filler.  

 

 

Our beloved Habitat has returned to the inner city. It’s been six bleak years since design legend Terence Conran’s furniture label upped sticks from Siam Discovery, taking with it those beautifully chic statement pieces in muted tones and smooth matte woods. Now though, all it takes is a trip to BTS Siam to browse designs as good as the Oakwood extender dining table (B48,519) and matching chairs (B9,180 each), star-shape ceiling lamp (B3,528), and white leather daybed (B32,490). Free delivery for purchases exceeding B5,000.

 

 

It’s not as new to Bangkok as some of the brands on this list, but overlooking the beautiful home fabrics and ceramics of Marimekko would be madness for anyone after that soft, Scandinavian look. The Finnish fashion and furnishings label deals in covers, blankets, and bed linens with a colorfully patchy aesthetic. Prices are also a snip, starting at just B690 for a coin bag. There are four stores around Bangkok. Check out the flagship at CentralWorld for the biggest variety.
