Lacquered Straw Marquetry Antique Japanese Tansu Cabinet by Alexander Lamont
About the Item
Have you have ever sat beside a paddy field in Thailand with a breeze blowing over it’s surface – the water reflecting the sun in dappled ways while also shining through beneath the little waves? …. An early 20th century kiri (pawlonia) tansu with lacquered woven-straw finish. This tansu forms part of an on-going ‘conversation’ between the simple, traditional furniture of Japan and the special surfaces developed in the Alexander Lamont Workshops in Bangkok. Under the direction of Alex, this tansu has both an exacting and random pattern made by the building of layers of straw marquetry in different directions. The effect of this is to create levels that are beautiful to-the-touch, and also changes in the way light is reflected. Different tones and colours create another layer of visual intricacy. The aim is to make a unified and harmonious surface using our unique skills and ideas – like the paddy field that is complex yet serene.

Alexander Lamont, Designer-Craftsman British designer Alexander Lamont has always been interested in enigmatic textures, forms and materials; ‘surfaces that call out to be touched’. The journey to make such furniture, lighting and objects in the 21st century - requiring time and hard-won skills for each piece - took him to Thailand where over two decades he has built celebrated workshops housing ateliers for straw marquetry inlay, shagreen, parchment, eggshell and natural lacquer and gilding techniques among others. Alexander Lamont’s luxurious and contemporary designs are coupled with an uncompromising approach to innovation, craftsmanship and quality achieved through the mastery of ancient skills and techniques and a willingness to break through those same traditions. The designer’s exquisite, handcrafted pieces bring with them a sense of journey and discovery while communicating playfulness, texture and refined quality. The creations of Alexander Lamont’s studio and workshops are made to fall in love with, to be treasured and touched and to bring to their owners a joyful communion with the great traditions of workshop excellence and a unique design sensibility.
