Thaikhun is an exciting new casual dining experience from the Thai Leisure Group, Northern lights have supplied bespoke lighting for the same company for the successful Chaophraya and ChaoBaby brands. It offers Bangkok-style street food in authentic and traditionally rustic surroundings.
Bespoke lighting is the main element in both Thaikhun restaurants. There is a common thread of using industrial lighting paired with rusty custom finishes to accentuate the raw textures and bright colour schemes. Key features include caged lamps, oversized spun industrial pendants and birdcage pendants in brushed steel.
Northern Lights worked with JMDA to convert traditional Thai bric-a-brac into bespoke lighting elements. Combining the two helped create the 'little slice of Thailand' feel that would complement the very authentic food.
