Material : Old Wood

Carpenter : Saiyart Sema-ngern
I went to visit the carpenter’s factory and found a round piece of timber that resembled a wooden tray. The piece must have been very old, judging from the condition of the wood surface which appears to have weathered decades of sun and rain. The carpenter helped to come up with ideas on what to produce with it. At the time I had designed a series of large, heavy chairs, so I decided to design a small table which is also partly a sculptural piece. The intended function is simple, to draw the attention of visitors who arrive at the house. It was displayed in an exhibition and was reserved by a buyer on the first day. After the exhibition this table went on its new journey, and we have not seen it since.
