The Phaka chair is made of wood indigenous to Thailand

"The Phaka chair is a quest for the simplest structure, an essential character of a good chair," said Moonler, adding that it exemplified the "spiritual essence of an object designed and crafted by humans".

The chair is made of solid chamchuri wood, which is indigenous to Thailand, and is available with a light, natural, dark, black or rough black finish.
