Baan Vibhavadi

WHEN
We have been operating as a studio for five years now.

WHERE
At 33 Space, the creative office campus on Soi Pradipat 17.

What is your definition of “creativity”?
Thinking in order to find a solution is what creativity is all about.

Baan Vibhavadi

When it comes to work, what are your inspirations?
My inspiration at the moment is handing over the work to our clients and seeing how happy and satisfied they are. It makes us want to keep developing ourselves.

Three words that describe your work philosophy?
Do Less But Do Good

Prima House

What is the project you’re the most proud of?
If we’re talking about pride, each work provides us with a sense of pride in its own unique way. There are projects where we get to learn something new from clients, not to mention the friendships we’ve formed with them, as well as the lessons and knowledge we’ve gained from working with construction teams. As a result, each project is impressive in its own right. Ultimately, the greatest source of pride for me is when a client walks into a house we designed with a smile on their face.

Prima House

What do you do or where do you go when you have a creative block?
Enjoying a cup of coffee or taking a long drive.

Do you have any studios, designers, or creative individuals that you particularly like?
The first one is DUANGRIT BUNNAG ARCHITECT LIMITED (DBALP). I’ve been interested in his work since the first year I began working. I like the simplicity, the sophistication, and the way he uses lines and colors to create clean and simple designs. The other one is Jun Sekino, Junsekino Architect and Design. Jun’s works have inspired me in a number of ways, from the use of materials to the presentation and execution, as well as the charm of contrasted elements of materials, all of which add to the interest of his work. He presents 3D rendering images in an exceptional way that shows everything in one image.

WHO
Seam Design & Architects

WHAT
An architecture firm whose work encompasses both exterior and interior contexts of architectural design. The name Seam doesn’t just denote a connection between tangible objects such as materi-als or spaces, but also the abstract elements that are crucial to how a work of architecture is formed.

WHEN
We have been practicing as professional architects since 2014. We officially founded Seam Design & Architects in 2020.

WHERE
Bangkok, Thailand

WHY
We believe that architecture is a human creation, designed and constructed by humans to improve the quality of human life.

What is your definition of “creativity”?
Creativity is the pinnacle and crystallization of the learning process. It’s the genesis of something new and original.

When it comes to work, what are your inspirations?
One of our highly respected college professors once said that there is more to architecture than just the physical components. There are also other intangible aspects involved, and as architects, we are given the privilege to create such a creation. I find the honor that comes with the role of creator to be tremendously inspiring.

Three words that describe your work philosophy?
Man I nature I what’s in between

What is the project you’re the most proud of?
Every project, but perhaps for different reasons and aspects.

What do you do or where do you go when you have a creative block?
Going through my book collection, playing tennis, traveling, and talking to people. Getting away from work allows me to see a bigger picture or a different perspective with a clearer mind.

Do you have any studios, designers, or creative individuals that you particularly like?
Louis Kahn and Kerry Hill are two people who have had a huge impact on me and my work.

TEXT & PHOTO COURTESY OF EVERYDAY STUDIO

(For Thai, press here)

WHO
everyday studio is an interior and furniture design-focused practice. To describe ourselves, we would say that we are a design collective specializing primarily in interior design and furniture design. We also have our own furniture brand, everyday.

CC Conference Center

WHAT
Our goal is to create good, qualified, and creative works. We never confine our design to a particular style, but we do know that interior design and furniture design are our specialties.

BLUE NAILS @ Siam Discovery

WHEN
The studio was formed in 2014, and since then, we have been having fun, working and learning new things. We view ourselves as a team of young designers who are still keen to learn and adjust how we think about and approach a project, because the assignments we are given change, and there’s always something new to work with every year.

WHERE
The office and showroom of daily studio are located on Soi Sathupradit 21. It is not the most accessible location but it is manageable. So, the designers on our teams and our clients need to have quite a bit of motivation to work with us.

WHY
Why don’t we opt to specialize in interior design or furniture design in order to have a distinct selling point and direction? To create a good piece of furniture, we must understand its context, and to design a good interior space, we must understand the essential elements of the space.

What is your definition of “creativity”?
Creativity is essential to a good design. Every good design is the result of creativity.

What are your inspirations and guiding principles?
Our inspiration varies. It is dependent on the project we are planning at the time. There are also several types of inspiration. There is inspiration in how a material can be modified or utilized. Then there is context-based inspiration, which pertains to the design itself. Users are also a source of our inspiration. Our principle is simply to create good design, which is the product of meticulous attention to detail that can satisfy people’s needs and expectations.

S2M Café @ Rangsit

What is the project you’re the most proud of?
We cannot choose because we are proud of every project we’ve done. Our time and commitment, the challenges posed by the project’s requirements, and our experience and learning curves vary from project to project. We can’t really compare.

We know that in addition to interior design, you also design furniture. How did that come about?
As interior designers, we are aware of the direct effects furniture has on the aesthetics and functionality of a space. However, we also learned that the majority of the furniture we like, find attractive, and wish to incorporate into our design are quite expensive and has to be imported. If the price is cheaper, they are fake. So we’re interested in offering an alternative by manufacturing beautifully crafted, distinctive, and reasonably priced furniture.

Which one is your favorite piece?
We like all the pieces from everyday brand. But The Rocky Family Stool, which is essentially the first piece produced by everyday studio, is our favorite. People began to recognize us because of that chair. We like the process behind it, from developing the design that considers users’ experiences and feelings before manufacturing possibilities.

Who is your favorite creative studio, designer, or artist?
One of the studios whose work love we love is nendo. Oki Sato, the founder of the studio has led nendo to create an astounding diversity of works of various genres, styles, and scales. Their work is straightforward but rich with profound subtleties. We absolutely admire nendo’s ability to simplify, to tell all sorts of stories through simplistic graphic sketches that really encapsulate the essence and character of each work.

Last but not least, please use this space to introduce yourself to the people who want to know more about you?
Apart from interior design and the furniture under our everyday brand, we also do project-specific design. This service helps bring this complementing features and relationship between an interior space and the furniture, ultimately creating a more satisfying and comprehensive user experience.

WHEN
Korn Supsakorn founded Office WHOM (originally named “health of whom”) in 2018, a thesis he worked on during his master’s degree at Columbia University GSAPP, New York City, USA With the support from Stephen Cassell (ARO), Brad Cloepfil (Allied Works), Nerea Cavillo (C+ Arquitectas). I started to post my studio works on my Instagram to collect my ideas on how the built environment shape lives.

WHERE
The idea was inspired in New York and executed in Bangkok.

WHY
We believe in an architectural coproduction that every member of a construction project has the authority to design and contribute ideas from their experience for the optimal benefit of the project including builders, artisans, architects, designers, engineers, and owners.

How would you define creativity?
Creativity is the vision beyond the existing reality. Together with wits, good intentions and a touch of humor, a creative work should be inventive, purposeful, and free of form. Our creativity comes from making multiple quick design iterations working with multiple contexts of the project.

Places around the office. I would go outside and take a walk just to keep my body moving. My ideas usually pop up along the way.
