Luxury furniture importer Chanintrturns

its newest Bangkok showroom

into an ode to craftsmanship from

Thailand and further afield

with a definite nod to the art of dining

What better way to introduce potential buyers to new furniture than to let them get up close with it in a restaurant setting? That's the key idea behind Café Craft, a new dining spot within Chanintr’s new CHANINTR CRAFT furniture showroom in Bangkok’s Thonglor district, where Scandinavian brands such as Louis Poulsen, Carl Hansen & Søn and Fredericia (many of which Chanintr is the country’s exclusive importer of) take centre stage.

Chanintr的创意总监、Daminato工作室的首席建筑师Albano Daminato说:“在亚洲，斯堪的纳维亚家具仍然常常与批量生产宜家(IKEA)联系在一起。”“还是会有人问‘为什么它这么贵?’但他解释说，通过把这些产品放在家居般的环境中展示，Chanintr希望帮助人们了解生产过程中所涉及的高超工艺和高质量材料。

Working closely with Bangkok-based architecture firm Tierra Design, Daminato designed the showroom from the ground up to resemble a residential property. Two separate buildings flank a courtyard centred around an ancient tree that the architects wanted to preserve. Connecting walkways wrap around it, while a glass expansion on the ground floor slides right under its branches.

在室内，Daminato标志性的简约风格和朴实的色调依旧属于当代潮流。墙面覆盖着来自葡萄牙的天然软木和丹麦品牌Dinesen的白蜡木，为日本纸天花板灯等展品提供了背景。白蜡木楼梯将咖啡厅连接到三层的白色展厅，窗提供了充足的自然光线，家具布置模拟客厅设置。Daminato解释说:“我们不想让设计分散客户对产品的注意力。”这是一张空白的画布。

虽然空间有一个明确风格，但不影响展示独有的泰国细节。由当地工匠铺设的燕麦色水磨石地板和吧台是传统中泰店铺的标志；泰国北部手工制作的赤土色瓷砖装点着咖啡馆的天花板；泰国篮子点缀着酒吧和陈列室。

While the space has an unmistakable Scandi-Japanese character, a closer look reveals distinctively Thai details. The oatmeal-coloured terrazzo floor and bar counter, laid by a local artisan, are hallmarks of traditional Sino-Thai shop houses; terracotta-hued tiles, handmade in Northern Thailand, bedeck the cafe’s ceiling; and Thai basketry dots the bar and showrooms. 

这里不仅仅是一个家具展厅，更是泰国展示工艺与国外相互交流的空间。Daminato说:“We’re not just selling things, it’s all about showcasing what we love,”
