Central Village Installations

Installations for Central Village, Thailand’s first international outlet shopping village located near Suvarnabhumi airport. The space is divided into 5 villages - royal village, metal village, clay village, weaver village, and wooden village. To represent the identity of each village, we designed installations for each of them.

Siamese Fighting Fishes at Royal Village

At the entrance we design a giant Siamese fighting fishes sculptures for royal village zone to greet all the customers. In addition to their eye-catching vibrant colors, these fishes are true fighters. Their territorial nature reflects Thai people’s senses of protectiveness therefore It is marked as Thailand's national aquatic animal. The sculptures use wireframe structure decorated with circle metal sheet painted in gradient colour. It plays with light and reflexion during the day and night.

My Hometown at Metal village

Metal works in Thailand is often fond in traditional windows from Thai houses which are part of the national identity. From this concept, we created an installation just like bringing all the visitors to our home land with warmth and love.

The Pottery of Welth at Clay Village

Pottery is an ancient art form. When people began settling farther away from rivers and streams, they invented containers for water. It was common for Thai houses to have large terracotta jars for rainwater harvesting. The collected water was used in everyday activities and as a welcome drink for guests. This type of earthenware is a character-defining invention rooted in Thai folk wisdom.

Goodluck at at Weaver Village

Thai wickerwork is yet another invaluable national identity and folk wisdom. It’s an artform born out of necessity, available material, and religious belief. In Thailand, giving is our culture to forward our good thoughts. We often wrap gift with round bamboo basket and wish them luck. This idea reflects on weaver village, wishing customers luck before returning their countries.
