About

Ban Pa Ao Pendant - Coiled Heavy Antique

In collaboration with Robert Sukrachand and the Ban Pa Ao Brass Community, Ubon Ratchathani Handcrafted using centuries-old techniques, the Coiled Brass Pendant is a sculptural lighting piece born from a rich collaboration between designer Robert Sukrachand and the Ban Pa Ao brassware artisans of Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. Forged without molds or modern machinery, each pendant is cast entirely by hand, resulting in a form that is raw, organic, and singular. Its richly textured surface features the Coiled Heavy Antique patina — a speckled, nuanced finish achieved by burning local rice husks, a traditional method unique to the region. The result is a lighting object that carries both cultural resonance and contemporary character, equally at home as an expressive statement or quiet accent.

Each Ban Pa Ao light is uniquely hand-cast using ancient, mold-free techniques. The rice husk patination process creates rich, organic textures — ensuring no two pieces are alike. Variations in color and surface are part of the lamp’s character and charm.
