To elevate local artisans is to embrace imperfection, revisit tradition and transform it into something meaningful. This philosophy sits at the heart of VASSANA.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the festive season, decorative installations appear across the city, many drawn from Western traditions. Koktail chose a different path, focusing instead on local craft. We turn our attention to the work of Thai artisans who shape bamboo into bags, lamps, garlands and hanging mobiles. Each piece, whether small or large, carries a message of heritage, care and the human touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeauty does not lie in the object itself but in the devotion of the people who patiently create it, piece by piece, for it to take its place in the world,\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

said Sawin Saima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we spoke with Sawin Saima, son of Assoc. Prof. Vassana Saima and co-founder of VASSANA. Together they both share the love of craftsmanship. We explore the stories behind VASSANA\u2019s pieces, the journey of the brand and a vision that places local artisans at the centre of contemporary design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
