Cool Custom Furniture

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Cool Custom Furniture

Post by Milord »

What have you seen?

These are from a custom built Japanese style home designed and owned by a French-Canadian in northern Thailand.

Starting to get furniture (this concept, furniture, does not exist in the thai culture, they did not have a word for it, they borrowed and use "furniture").
I hesitate between no furniture, which is more in line with the traditional Japanese way, but a bit hard on an old farang ass, and having my own made, since comfort is absent here!
I will keep simplicity in mind, lines and zen.

Nice. You occasionally get glimpses of some stuff like this - nowhere near as nice, and suspiciously all same same - as you travel around PP. Is it likely to be cast concrete?

A lot of that "bark finish" stuff is.

That's the ones. Imagine a child's swing made out of that 'timber'.
