Junk?Jewelry? A Bit of Both!
There’s an “art space” — store to us mortals — along Silom Road in Bangkok that’s gaining popularity for jewelry afficionados. You won’t find fancy yellow diamond rings in Kitti Manoonphol’s shop, but his creations have been seen on beauty queens and Hollywood stars. He calls his creations “contemporary ethnic arts”, making use of ancient beading techniques, and incorporates common materials we see from day to day–plastic toys, Lego blocks, vinyl beads– to put together a unique portfolio.
Check it out on your next shopping trip in Bangkok! Alternatively, according to the Time feature on Manoonphol’s jewelries, if you’re too lazy slash busy to brave the Bangkok traffic, for the right price, you can also ask him to call, “carting his collection around in the trunk of his BMW”.
