A portrait of a tender floral scene decorates this cotton parasol from the Thai region. Artisan Nikom uses cotton and bamboo to create the piece's refined structure, inspired by traditional works. After setting everything in place, Nikom uses oil paints to decorate the textile with blooms in intense red hues, evoking a romantic sentiment.

Symbols of good fortune and immortality, the cranes that fly around this parasol invite divine energies into your life. Thai artisan Nikom spreads a refined cotton textile on a bamboo frame to create this gorgeous piece, made with traditional techniques. Then, Nikom paints a classic crane scene around the white textile, adding black and red hues for a regal look.

Thoughtfully crafted with traditional techniques, Nikom's decorative parasol brightens your home with a yellow hue of joy. The Thai artisan stretches cotton over a durable bamboo frame before painting the fabric. A lovely scene with cranes and a floral tree finishes the piece, ensuring an aura of blissful serenity.

Please note the parasol is not weatherproof and is intended for decorative purposes.

The sweet tunes of the zampoña panpipe serenade the Andes with nostalgic songs. "The use of the zampoña has become widespread across the world and it is played at different functions," explains Benito Tito. "In Peru we play the zampoña during special ceremonies and traditional rites." Tito crafts this zampoña by hand with 13 bamboo reeds of the same diameter but different length. The pipes are tied together with a woven ribbon.

Tito includes a smaller zampoña as a gift. The set includes woven cases for storing.

An explosion of tropical flora accented with brilliantly colored birds decorates this petite parasol by Nikom. Painted on orange rayon fabric stretched over a bamboo frame, it is decorated with fringe. Hang the parasol from the ceiling to add a touch of Thailand to your décor, or use it to accessorize chic afternoon attire and block the heat of the sun, as in its traditional use.
