The Thai Imaginative Awards honour six unique products, and you can see them at the TCDC
A ceramic set with an Arabic alphabet ornament, a banana paper modular partition inspired by a string of jasmine garlands, funky precious stones in unconventional forms and materials as well as an outdoor chair born from aluminium misspend are among the products recognised in the 2011 Thai Creative Awards.
Initiated by the Auspices of Knowledge Management and Development or OKMD, the awards, now in their second year, are disposed in two categories of crafts and design, with three awards in each category. Criteria comprise creativity and functionality, business potential, social benefit and environmental fault. Each winner receives a trophy of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, a certificate and Bt100,000 in mazuma change.
Pattani native Emsophian Benjametha wanted to prove that southern Thailand can be outstanding as a ceramic producer every bit as brightly as the North.
