While traditional Thai products often rely on the country’s silk, ceramic and whicker craftsmanship, local designers are increasingly looking to blend modern materials with local sensibilities by bringing a touch of humor to their design rationale. To stock up on good vibes and good design, head to Propaganda (pictured here), the brand that’s led the city’s product design scene for more than a decade. They’ve just unveiled their revamped showroom on the fourth floor of Siam Discovery Center, while nearby, RoomInteriorProducts has also renovated its space, where it continues to showcase designers from here and abroad. Finally, Qualy unveiled its first flagship store at the recently-opened Asiatique the Riverfront, serving up wares for the home inspired by nature and a child-like playfulness.
