WATER WEED

Indoor Chair

Transforming water hyacinth—an invasive aquatic weed—into a contemporary indoor chair that elevates Thai handcraft to the furniture scale.

The seat is woven from water hyacinth fibers, a plant commonly removed from Thai waterways due to its rapid spread. Traditionally used for small household items, the weaving technique is expanded here and mounted onto a black-oxide stainless steel frame.

Water hyacinth disrupts aquatic ecosystems and requires continuous removal. WATER WEED reframes eradication as opportunity, converting low-cost natural material into modern decorative furniture while sustaining local weaving knowledge and aligning with contemporary lifestyle aesthetics.
