What are the characteristics of Thai design?

I. Characteristics of Thailand

Thai culture is dominated by Buddhism and Brahmanism, so these Buddhist figures have also influenced the decorative style of Thailand to some extent. Influenced by India, Thailand's Buddhist cultural system, after further integration and development, has formed a unique Thai cultural decoration style-multi-storey roofs, towering spires, inlaid with wood carvings, gold foil, porcelain, stained glass, pearls and so on.

Second, furniture.

There are many kinds of raw materials for Thai furniture. Thailand is a country that attaches importance to the regeneration and cultivation of trees. In addition, Thailand is rich in virgin forest resources and a variety of high-quality wood imported from neighboring countries, which makes Thailand have black oak, Thai teak, golden pomelo, black walnut, basswood and camphor wood for everyone to choose from.

Thai furniture is mostly hand-made, and through the collocation of different materials and colors, the functionality and aesthetics are harmoniously integrated. In terms of color, most Thai furniture inherits the traditional dark colors, such as dark brown, gold and crimson, but the lines of furniture are simple and smooth, creating an elegant and stable feeling.
