Tactile Vernacular
Hospitality
Tactile Vernacular Hospitality is a thoughtful collaboration between textile artist and designer Mook V - Ploenchan Vinyaratn and Royal Thai. This work stands as a testament to the rich and diverse heritage of Thailand’s Hill Tribe communities and their remarkable craftsmanship. This collection embodies the artistic expression that is deeply intertwined with Thailand’s cultural tapestry, drawing inspiration from the Indigenous Hill Tribes of the region, where time-honored techniques and intricate designs have been lovingly preserved through generations.
The Hill Tribe people skillfully blend embroidery and weaving arts with hand-dyed vibrant fabrics and designs to create distinct styles, with each tribe proudly displaying its unique clothing. This dedication to craft is reminiscent of Royal Thai artisans, who spend decades perfecting the art of creating exquisite hand-tufted rugs and textiles.
With The Tactile Vernacular, we aim to thoughtfully honor our Thai heritage at Royal Thai and bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary aesthetics, breathing new life into hill tribe patterns through reinvention and reimagination. Rather than a mere fusion of styles, these designs represent a meaningful dialogue between past and present, where emotions are woven into threads and every step is a sumptuous journey through varied colors and cultures.
We encourage you to transcend geographic boundaries as you explore these designs, to celebrate our innate desire to adorn and narrate stories. Whether through the delicate dance of needle and thread or the intricate artistry of hand crafting carpets, human creativity is a universal language.
