A Branch Remembered holds the trace of a season now passed — a lone branch stretching across warm-toned wood, adorned with fading blossoms suspended in clear resin. The piece carries the quiet emotion of recollection, like a memory returning in fragments.

Its compact frame invites intimacy, with soft contrasts between organic grain and translucent resin, where petals seem to pause between presence and absence. The composition leans into restraint, offering space for reflection and emotional resonance.

Handmade from reclaimed Thai wood and botanical elements, this piece invites you to linger — to remember not just what once bloomed, but how it felt to witness it.

MANDARA – BOTANICAL RESIN ART FROM CHIANG MAI

Original Works in Reclaimed Wood, Art Resin, and Botanical Inlays

Each piece holds a story. We invite you to find yours.

Mandara Studio

Based in Chiang Mai, Mandara creates wall art that honors nature’s imperfections — capturing time, texture, and organic form through salvaged wood, hand-poured resin, and botanical inlays.

Inspired by the Wabi-Sabi philosophy and a deep reverence for the natural world, every panel is sculpted with intention — letting the grain, bloom, and bubble speak for themselves.

Art is in the patience of the process.

Each piece is made from salvaged timber, often marked by time and weather — and inlaid with real botanical elements preserved in crystal-clear resin. These works evoke a quiet sense of wonder, stillness, and connection to the natural world.
