Tall and organic, this reclaimed piece features upward-flowing grains, embedded bunny-tail florals, and antique textures. Its dark backdrop fractures into light, giving the impression of rising from shadow to bloom.

The Nok Khamin (yellow or turmeric bird) is a migratory bird in Thai folklore, often associated with nostalgia, waiting, and change.

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.
