Orawee Choedamphai

อรวี เจิดอำไพ
I am a designer who specialized in three-dimensional knitted structure for interior architecture and fashion accessories.

Industrial Design was my 1st degree, which I studied in Bangkok, Thailand. I then studied Textiles and Surface Design BA (Hons) at Bucks New University. My Industrial Design background together with my textile skills enabled me to explore knitting in a different direction and thus opened up new boundaries.

Since a child, Lego has been a favourite toy and due to this ‘modularity’ has become one of the most important elements of my design. I have a passion for making things. However, prior to my 2nd degree I was not accustomed to knitting, as it is not a part of my culture. Therefore, this made me unique to my fellow students. I became fascinated with industrial knitting, and enjoyed experimenting with a knitting machine.  

I have finished doing MA in Furniture Design at Bucks New University, High Wycombe, UK. I am now based in Bangkok, Thailand, running a small pop-up card and craft supply business, Squish-n-Chips.
