A Thai hand-crafted silk shop is located in Soi Phrom Si, Sukhumvit 39, Bangkok. The concept of the store integrates craftsmanship and artisan quality into the overall design. The facade features an "N" shape, made with specially commissioned bricks that complement the brand’s name, crafted from terracotta with naturally varied colors and textures. These bricks are also used for hanging zones and partitions within the shop, while concrete walls add texture and a casual feel to the space.

Inside, the shop is open, airy, and primarily an open area. Reclaimed wood is re-grooved in a herringbone pattern, adding an interesting backdrop that highlights the displayed clothing. The cashier counter is adorned with 10x10 cm terracotta tiles arranged in a playful pattern. The second floor is a private space for trying on rare collections, with a spacious layout that showcases the building’s original roof gable and natural lighting. The area is furnished with organic-shaped, solid wood furniture to soften the space and reduce any rigid feel.
