Roman Arch Bag in Wood
Roman Arch Bag in Wood
This sculptural bag is a reminiscence of ancient Roman architectural forms. The symmetrical grooved surface and oversized sculptural shape is like a fracture of a goddess statue. It is a bold statement piece for both day and night.
From PANISA Objects:
PANISA creates wooden objects that are playful and sculptural, yet functional and sustainable. The design process often challenges traditional concepts of woodworking, which brings unexpected results. Made in a wooden toy factory, most pieces are crafted from small wooden pieces from the toy production, joined together into everyday’s objects of affection.
Panisa Khunprasert makes objects that combines sculptural and conceptual arts with functionalities. Graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design from Chulalongkorn University and grew up in her parent’s wooden toy factory, her early design approach was very practical. While studying and working in New York City her creative approach has became more liberating and her interests in anthropology, art history, and emotional design became more evident in her oeuvre. She graduated with a MFA from The School of Visual Arts and worked as a visual and product designer at The Museum of Modern Arts. Panisa moved back to Thailand to join her family business Blue Ribbon Toys and to build the growing collection of objects under her name. PANISA brand aims to create products that are playful, poetic, and functional. Many of her designs are now carried by MoMA Design Stores around the world.
