About Us
Ausara was founded by Shoson Thatawakorn and Jarupatcha Achavasmit, whose shared background in material exploration and textile design forms the foundation of the atelier’s practice.
Based in Bangkok, Ausara operates at the intersection of craft, material research, and architecture, guided by a philosophy the founders call Surface Alchemy: the transformation of raw material into spatial experience.
Shoson’s early fascination with experimentation—testing how materials react, oxidize, and tension and transform—evolved into a lifelong pursuit of pushing surfaces beyond their expected behavior. His work approaches material not as finished but as structure and presence.
Jarupatcha’s background in textile design and fine art deepened the atelier’s sensitivity to weave, tactility, and rhythm. Her understanding of textiles as both discipline and language grounds the studio’s craft in technical precision and cultural continuity.
Together, they established Ausara as an atelier rather than a production house, one that develops material through testing, layering, and structural inquiry before it becomes form.
The practice began with site-specific architectural artworks for public and civic spaces, where permanence, engineering, and spatial integration are critical.
These large-scale works shaped the studio’s material intelligence. How a surface responds to light, movement, and time.
From this foundation, the same language extends into hand-woven architectural textiles operating as spatial filters rather than soft furnishings and further distills into sculptural wall coverings for interior environments. Rather than dividing art, textiles, and wallcoverings into separate categories,
Ausara develops one coherent material language expressed across three scales:
public scale, architectural scale, and human scale.
Each project begins with material behavior, density, translucency, tension, and depth, allowing the surface to define space rather than simply cover it.
At its core, Ausara remains committed to Surface Alchemy: the transformation of material into architecture and surface into meaning.
