Thailand Floor Lamp

Product details

Seller's Notes:Prasert, a warm-hearted woodworker from a small town near Chiang Rai in northern Thailand. In his modest open-air shop, surrounded by the chatter of chickens and the scent of drying timber, Prasert pours his life into crafting furniture one piece at a time. He’s no enigma—just a man in his late 50s with a weathered smile and a deep love for his trade. Raised by a carpenter father, he honed his skills over decades, learning to shape wood with the same care he’d give a family heirloom. His shop is a simple affair: a tin roof, a workbench cluttered with hand tools, and stacks of natural wood he sources from local sustainable suppliers. These two striking shelves—each standing eight feet tall—are Prasert’s pride and joy. He crafted them a few years back, starting with planks of rich, natural wood—likely teak or acacia—that he sanded and stained by hand using plant-based dyes, letting the wood’s golden tones glow through. The intricate tops, with their flowing, sculpted details inspired by Thai temple architecture, took him weeks to perfect, each cut made with a steady hand and an eye for beauty. He built in soft downlights to cast a gentle glow over the two glass shelves below—ideal for showcasing art pieces, vases, or whatever treasures their owner might display. Every detail, from the smooth edges to the sturdy frame, reflects his slow, deliberate process. Prasert doesn’t mass-produce; he finishes one piece before starting the next, ensuring each carries his personal touch. Several years ago, he carefully packaged these two shelves—twins in design and quality—and shipped them from Thailand to the US, dreaming they’d find a home where their craftsmanship would be appreciated. Now, they’re yours to claim: two handcrafted wonders, equal in price, born from Prasert’s small shop where every day is a quiet celebration of wood and skill.
