Share Article

Introducing the exclusive collaboration between Jim Thompson and Kitt.Ta.Khon. With a shared passion for preserving traditional craftsmanship and supporting artisanal communities, the two brands have created a line of outdoor accent chairs that combines their deep commitment to heritage and innovation, whilst blending past inspirations with a bold, contemporary twist.

The collaboration combines Jim Thompson’s Archipelago Collection performance fabrics and Kitt.Ta.Khon’s innovative interpretation of Thai craft techniques with modern methods. The Archipelago collection translates patterns and colors gathered from islands around the globe into durable, high-lightfastness textured weaves that are soft to the touch.

The bold collection incorporates outstanding quality fabric with high-performance capability, ensuring the textiles are durable, easy to clean, and technically adept for both indoor and outdoor use. The range of furniture uses powder-coated aluminum structures finished with a recycled plastic (PE) pattern, adorned with cushion covers using Jim Thompson’s performance fabric.

The Pandan chair is designed to reflect the beauty of simple weave patterns and the natural interplay of light and shadow that weaving creates. The piece embodies comfort and relaxation, with design touches inherent in handicrafts and bold colors and line work to infuse a contemporary essence.

The Mudjai chair is adorned with Ikat-patterned fabric and featuring woven patterns on the legs that seamlessly blend opacity and transparency. The Nicobar fabric adds a dynamic dimension to its visual appeal, with the interplay of the light and shadow pattern when set outdoors.

The Takpha chair is paired with a range of striped fabrics inspired by the rich Thai tradition of regional sarongs and loincloths.  These versatile stool designs reflect the vibrancy of life and celebration of local craftsmanship that embodies the richness of rural communities.

This innovative collection will satisfy all design tastes, combining traditional basketry techniques with muted soft solids and performance fabrics to bring the indoors out.

Any outdoor design is set to be elevated with these centre-piece accent chairs, transforming gardens, patios, and terraces into oases of style and comfort.
