PHKA

PHKA is a fifteen-member cross-disciplinary studio that aims to create a bridge between spatial design and floral and botanical installations, endeavouring to forge new perceptions about the places where they do their work. In their view, flowers do not decorate; rather, they spotlight and reinvent the spaces in which they are present. This vision has led them to create emblematic works like “Abandoned One”, in which they covered the façade of a night club in Thailand with thousands of anthuriums, or “Blooming Tune”, a kinetic floral installation in which the notes of a musical score were transformed into a dance of flowers.

Founded in 2013 by the architects Tul Chompaisal and Vissata Duangwongsri, both of whom were born in 1987 in Bangkok, PHKA currently designs some eighty projects per year. Their works stray from the stereotypical image of flowery Thailand: beyond the colour and exoticism, PHKA focuses on new forms.
