SACICT Prototypes for Maison& Objet 2014 The SACICT Prototypes for Maison& Objet 2014 has been organized for 4 consecutive years with the concept of representing the uniqueness of Thai wisdom to the international market and focused on the finely made export products with contemporary style and high quality, which can satisfy both the practical usability and the demand for the products in the global market, especially in Europe, the world’s main trend-setter. This year’s concept called “CHROMATIC DANCE” is inspired by the beautiful elements of the traditional Thai arts performances and recreational plays such as the costumes in “Khon”, “Likay ” and “Phi Ta Khon”, which represent not only the beauty of Thai handicraft but also the cultural Thai folk wisdom which has been passed on to the young generation. Global Ethnics The charming uniqueness of the handicraft skill of each ethnic group, combined with the contemporary design, is a perfect match for the Ethnics Style Trend. The local community can adapt this idea for the new products and make their living from these products, as the demand is increasing. The theme of this year is called “IN Accessories”, highlighting the products that were originated from the inspiration and creativity of the ethnic groups such as accessories, handbags, scarves, hats etc., under the “Craftster Concept” (Craft + Designer Gangster). Green Craft The Green Craft Project has raised the awareness of the communities about the eco-friendly production, which is today an important matter that national and international market are concerned about. The project were exhibited at the Interiorlifestyle Tokyo, Japan, under the “GREEN CRAFTS: THE RICE CULTURE” concept. The highlight products included the dining utilities and decorations, representing the culture of Thai rice farming and Thai dining, which could successfully appeal the Japanese attention. Lipao Development Project This project has been initiated with the purpose of preserving and developing Lipao basketwork which has become very popular and been qualified as a high-quality product.
