SACRED INCENT REINVENTED

Bangkok's Bangpho is a historic neighborhood known for its wood industry. SACRED INCENSE REINVENTED emphasizes the local connection and sustainability by crafting incense from teak sawdust, a byproduct of the community. This sawdust provides the raw material for sacred offerings to Chao Mae Tubtim Prachanaruemit. By repurposing sawdust, we're honoring local traditions and promoting sustainability. This product is researched and designed by Asst. Prof. Thidima Umpawan, Dr. Manintra Tumkosit, and Asst. Prof. Nijin Ittiprateep, lecturers from the Faculty of Architecture and Design, King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok.
