» Pottery, ceramics, tableware and wall-decorative items can brighten the mood of a house or a restaurant, as well as present an owner's distinctive personality. Pottery ceramic designers -- Nopkamon Akarapongpaisan and Nol Netprom from craft studio LamunLamai -- have paid attention to each customer. They started from creating name tags for small ceramic items and cups, so customers could have their own unique pieces or could offer special pieces as gifts for others. The craft studio has gained recognition after serving customers with their custom-made designs. Some of their creative wall-decorative items and ingenious tableware designs can be seen at celebrated eateries, including Michelin-starred 80/20, two-Michelin-starred Sorn and at the American coffee chain Starbucks.
