Supported by the Thai government due to its environmentally friendly nature,
the production of para rubber plant flowers is much encouraged.
|
|
|
How is it done?
|
|
|
The actual physical process involves stripping chlorophyll away from a rubber tree’s leaf.
It then undergoes a process of bleaching, followed by drying.
The remains, known as the “skeleton” of the rubber leaf are then used for creating our
beautiful flowers.

Mango Wood Vase
|
|
|
Mango wood is a tropical hardwood, abundant throughout the south of Thailand. In order to produce the best fruit,
Mango trees are cut down and replanted every 5 - 10 years, with minimal harm to the environment.
We actually help to make a use for these older trees, and we are actively involved in helping to maintain and
preserve the beauty of the natural Thai environment.
|
|
Creating our beautiful vases involves removing the bark and then lathing
it into the desired shape by skilled crafsmen. These rough products are
then dried in a kiln before being artistically finished in a variety of
colours and designs.
It should be noted that Mango Wood vases are not waterproof, yet make
an excellent home for handmade flowers in any setting.
