Phaka chair by Ratthee Phaisanchotsiri for Moonler

Thai Trade presents six award-winning furniture designs

Dezeen Showroom: a selection of brands based in Thailand have listed their furniture and accessories on Dezeen Showroom, including chairs that celebrate both Thai craft and native timber.

Phaka chairs come in a handful of wood finishes

Phaka chairs come in light, natural, dark, black or rough black finishes all made from solid chamchuri wood felled in Thailand.

The chair's slim and geometric composition allows the grain of wood and the connections between components to function as decoration.

Buffo is available as a chair or sofa

This includes its firm upholstery reminiscent of the animal's muscular back, combined back and armrests that are ribbed with stitching and turn up at the ends resembling horns.

The collection comprises a sofa and armchair that come in a range of fabrics in both bright and neutral shades.
