Mo Jirachaisakul is the kind of artist who makes chaos feel calm. The more a material resists him, the more he leans in. Across art, ceramics and design, he transforms cracks, accidents and imperfections into something unexpectedly alive. Beyond beauty, it is his vision that gives each work its direction and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He puts it simply: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"color:#ef5848\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#ef5848\">\u201cI want to know where everything comes from, how to create from its own origin and how to understand its context. I\u2019m a total material nerd.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koktail caught up with Mo to talk about his practice, curiosity and why losing control is often where the best work begins.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.28.39-685x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.28.39-685x1024.png 685w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.28.39-201x300.png 201w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.28.39-768x1148.png 768w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.28.39.png 986w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-the-first-material-that-didn-t-obey\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The First Material That Didn\u2019t Obey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What first pulled Mo toward ceramics was failure. Growing up, he excelled academically and rarely struggled in school. Ceramics became one of the first things he simply could not master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#ef5848\">\u201cEven when my professor showed me, I still couldn\u2019t follow. It felt like the first real challenge in my life. But at the same time, I kept thinking, \u2018why is this material so fun?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of discouraging him, the difficulty pulled him deeper into the material. Working with clay made him feel grounded and connected to something physical and natural. Growing up around his father\u2019s furniture factory also shaped how he understood design early on. Surrounded by leftover wood, bricks and workers building furniture from scratch, he began seeing design as tied as much to process and construction as to beauty itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.28.50-1024x679.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.28.50-1024x679.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.28.50-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.28.50-768x509.png 768w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.28.50.png 1530w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After graduation, Mo spent a year at the factory before realising he no longer wanted to remain a generalist. He committed to ceramics and later pursued a Master\u2019s degree in Ceramics and Glass in the United Kingdom before returning to Thailand to establish his own studio while also working at his father\u2019s factory.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.29.03-684x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.29.03-684x1024.png 684w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.29.03-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.29.03-768x1150.png 768w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2569-05-22-at-17.29.03.png 980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-mo-s-approach-to-art-and-design\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mo\u2019s Approach to Art and Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#ef5848\">\u201cMy approach to design always starts with context. I need to understand who the work belongs to and where it will live before deciding what it should become.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He gave us an example of this context-based approach in a recent ceramic wall project. Mo spoke with the client\u2019s mother about her life and memories. After learning her family name meant \u201cgreen\u201d, he built the piece around green ceramic tiles so it would feel naturally connected to the home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#ef5848\">\u201cIn my art practice, I think a lot about where materials come from and the energy they carry into the final work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a self-described material nerd, he goes deep into the materials he works with and the energy they carry. The idea is most visible in Rta , a ceramic series built around finding order inside chaos. Rather than controlling every outcome, he lets the material lead, allowing clay to crack, shift and reveal its own form through the process. Each material expresses its own energy, while he responds and carves along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88391-scaled-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88391-scaled-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88391-scaled-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88391-scaled-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88391-scaled-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88391-scaled-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy of Mo Jirachaisakul<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#ef5848\">\u201cI\u2019m the opposite of a control freak. The moment I can fully control something, I lose interest in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The works begin as tall clay cylinders carved by hand before being pushed open from the inside. As the surface breaks apart, hidden textures and colours emerge from tension already held within the clay. No piece can ever fully repeat itself. For Mo, the process is more about reacting to what the material becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88361-scaled-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88361-scaled-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88361-scaled-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88361-scaled-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88361-scaled-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20251016_MPs88361-scaled-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy of Mo Jirachaisakul<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-thai-ness-in-the-making\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thai-ness in the Making<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#ef5848\">\u201cI never tried to make the work feel Thai, but people kept seeing it anyway. A monk once told me one of my pieces reminded him of ancient pottery found near his temple. Others said the carved patterns looked like Ban Chiang ceramics. That\u2019s when I realised Thai-ness doesn\u2019t always need to be forced into the work. Sometimes it just appears naturally through the material and the way you make things.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One project that reflects this thinking was Mo\u2019s collaboration with HAY, the Danish contemporary furniture and home decor brand at Warehouse 30. The brief was simple: create something that felt both modern and Thai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"27529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-20241128-5392-scaled-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-20241128-5392-scaled-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-20241128-5392-scaled-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-20241128-5392-scaled-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-20241128-5392-scaled-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-20241128-5392-scaled-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"27531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3080-scaled-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3080-scaled-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3080-scaled-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3080-scaled-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3080-scaled-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3080-scaled-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-4979-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-4979-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-4979-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-4979-scaled-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-4979-scaled-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-4979-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Courtesy of Mo Jirachaisakul<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first, Mo designed something far more chaotic and decorative. But after presenting it, he realised it felt too heavy for HAY\u2019s clean aesthetic. That pushed him to rethink Thai-ness beyond traditional patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While walking by the riverside near Warehouse 30, he became drawn to reflections on the water. That image stayed with him. For Mo, water already carries a deep connection to Thai life, from trade and transport to daily rituals shaped around rivers. Instead of ornamental language, he turned to something more minimal and atmospheric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3155-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3155-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3155-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3155-scaled-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3155-scaled-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JTL-HAY-warehouse30-3155-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy of Mo Jirachaisakul<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final design used softly curved ceramic tiles that caught and reflected light like moving water.

Not every project begins with a grand concept. Sometimes it starts with irritation over waste. Throughout the conversation, one thing is clear: Mo does not approach sustainability as a design trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#ef5848\">\u201cI don\u2019t really like calling myself a sustainability artist.

In Rta, he combines fresh clay with leftover scraps from his studio instead of discarding failed pieces.
