For European art dealer Pieter Compernol, discovering antique wooden slabs salvaged from traditional Southeast Asian homes led to a career change and a move to Bangkok. Today, Compernol and his wifelive in the Thai capital and sell bespoke tables and chairs that have garnered the attention of topdesigners around the world. It’s a souvenir that won’t fit in a carry on, but international shipping can be arranged.
