Chiang Mai Design Week 2016
For Chiang Mai Design Week 2016 WANDSCHAPPEN has developed a project which combines Thai silk from the world famous Jim Thompson Silk Company and Holland wool felt. WANDSCHAPPEN created a series of silk-wool plants based on the Orange Trumpet (Puang Sad), a typical plant in Thai landscape. The installation consist of various sizes of these plants, which combines the wool felt on the outside and the silk material inside. All elements of the installation have been hand dyed with natural colours.
