CHANG

has received the

Design Excellence Award 2019.

Designed by Pariyaporn Thammarungsee and THINKK Studio

CHANG is the developed prototype from the charity design project from Mobella’s anniversary to support Friends of Asian Elephant Foundation. An exotic experience of elephant riding is one of the Thai unique lifestyle in the curious eyes of travelers from the other part of the world.

Though none of modern Thai commutes by riding on such large animal anymore, as a fun cultural exchange, our designers decided to introduce the playful elephant stool in minimal style. Combining the past and the modern day context through aesthetic and function of home furniture. Enjoy imaginative play role at home with additional custom-made saddle that invites user to hop on.

CHANG is designed to have long lasting product life by providing additional seat cushion mimicking elephant saddle – not only a customizable personalized detail but also serve as a removable piece which a replacement could be purchased separately after years of usage.
