PHOTO ESSAY : #TAKEHOMEDESIGNFURSPECTIVE

When I’m on vacation, I always want to capture the memory I have of a certain place. I choose to use my “children” (the furniture I designed) to represent different moments in my memories.

It all started with me wanting to take some beautiful and one-of-a-kind photographs of my own works. The concept has led me to bring my chairs with me to all of these various locations, causing those who see my photographs to develop a shared sentiment and imagine the feeling of using each piece of furniture while being embraced by the presence of nature. It has become a hobby of mine to take my children to places I have visited, such as waterfalls, forests, beaches, volcanoes, and even snow-capped mountain peaks. The images of my furniture being photographed in all of these beautiful settings has now become a signature of my brand. I think it’s fun.

PHOTO ESSAY : BANGKOK DEEMED

November 5, 2021
by Ratchadaporn Hemjinda

TEXT & PHOTO: CHATCHAVAN SUWANSAWAT

(For Thai, press here)

Ever since I was a child, I’ve always lived in Bangkok, and never moved anywhere. My parents were quite protective of me and didn’t let me go out that much. When I grew up, it turned out that the restraint from childhood has become some sort of a complex that urges me to walk around Bangkok as much as I can now that I’m an adult. I always find weekend city walks to be exciting and addictive. I like to keep on walking, sometimes with a destination in mind. At times, I would just wander aimlessly. The walk always leads me to unusual places and things, born out of unintentional clashes between humans and nature, all struggling to survive in the city that many both love and hate.

Chatchavan Suwansawat is an architect and occasional writer. He wrote ‘Architect-Jer,’ the book that talks about the quintessential Thai characteristics through design objects created by people living in the city. He founded Everyday Architect & Design Studio where he works on architecture and its relation to his interest in Thai-ness.
