Phan Collection: A Modern Take on Thai Tradition

Yongphan Sundara Vicharana's Innovative Furniture Collection Inspired by Thai Culture

Introducing the Phan Collection, a unique furniture line by Yongphan Sundara Vicharana that marries Thai tradition with modern design. The collection, inspired by the Phan container, a symbol of Thai culture, showcases the designer's innovative approach to furniture design, blending traditional elements with contemporary aesthetics.

The Phan Collection stands out for its unique inspiration and design. Yongphan Sundara Vicharana has drawn from the Phan container, a cultural symbol in Thailand, to create a line of furniture that is both modern and distinctly Thai. The structure of the Phan container is used to create robust furniture pieces, with a design that emphasizes modernity and simplicity.

Yongphan Sundara Vicharana's innovative approach extends to the production process. The designer used laser cut technology and a combination of folding metal sheet machine with CNC wood to create complex and unique details. This production process sets the collection apart in the market, offering a product that is truly unique.

The Phan Collection includes a variety of pieces, each designed with meticulous attention to detail. From stools and benches to tables and lounge chairs, each piece is thoughtfully designed to be strong, stable, and comfortable. The collection also includes pieces that can be used outdoors, thanks to the use of HDF wood grade.

The Phan Collection was created in Bangkok between September 2017 and March 2018. It was showcased at the Bangkok Design Week 2018 and STYLE 2018, receiving high praise for its innovative design and unique inspiration. The collection was awarded Silver in A' Furniture Design Award in 2020, a testament to its outstanding design and innovation.

Yongphan Sundara Vicharana's Phan Collection is a perfect example of how traditional elements can be reimagined in a modern context. By drawing inspiration from Thai culture and using innovative production techniques, the designer has created a unique furniture line that is not only functional but also a work of art.

The Phan Collection is a testament to the power of design and innovation. It showcases how traditional elements can be transformed into modern pieces that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. With its unique design and innovative production process, the Phan Collection is set to make a mark in both the Thai and global markets.
