RED DOOR — HA THAI LACQUER
Three things that never change in a piece that leaves the Red Door workshop.
Core values
Every piece is made by hand: coat after coat of lacquer, wet-sanding between layers, then polishing to the intended depth. No two pieces are ever identical.
Core values
Nature is present in the colours, the materials and the way each surface catches light. We aim for objects that are sustainable, useful and grow more beautiful with the years.
Core values
Red Door products are tested by SGS against European regulations on chemical and material safety, ready for the most demanding markets.
