A gentle drift of blossoms glides across an eggshell resin field, now enhanced with a high-gloss finish that magnifies the crystal textures and delicate florals. Light dances across the surface, adding a dreamlike shimmer to the scene. Suspended in mid-air, each bloom feels like a moment paused — a meditation on the space between presence and memory.

A counterpoint to Sak Lek. “Yai” means big, denoting a stronger or broader presence while maintaining quiet power.

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.
