Title : Paddy Field Chair

Material : Old Teak Wood

Dimensions : 0.60 x 1.60, H. 1.10 m

Carpenter : Saiyart Sema-ngern

This bench lounger was produced from pieces of reclaimed wood from an old disused rice wagon. These wagons, once out of use, were dismantled and repurposed by farmers into furniture for sale. The dismantled pieces of wood came in various shapes and sizes, which the carpenter and I selected to fabricate the bench lounger shown in the photo. I tried to preserve the characteristics of a rice wagon in reminiscence of Thailand’s olden day rural atmosphere.
