Tiger Lifestyle x Bangkok Design Week 2025
Developed under Circular Economy principles, this project repurposes construction waste from BMA renovation projects in Bangkok by combining it with TIGER Brand low‐carbon cement. The process transforms reclaimed materials into finished products such as pattern tiles, paving blocks, and outdoor furniture.
TIGER : Turn waste to value
Reflecting the origin of its materials, the design draws inspiration from the Chao Phraya River—the vital artery of Bangkok. Featuring flowing lines and vibrant hues that echo the city's urban character, “Sleepless River” transforms construction waste into captivating architectural objects.

Inspired by the gentle curves of Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River, the Sleepless River Chair captures fluid motion with five interconnected terrazzo pieces made from reclaimed construction waste—turning discarded materials into art. Its modular design forms benches or circular seating, mirroring the river’s role in connecting people.
