About Us

Shoson started off as a self-reclaimed scientist from a young age and experimented with fire, chemical reactions such as oxidations, and many more. In a later stage of his life, his passion for creation formed during his major in product design in ceramics and textile in the Architectural School of King Mongkut Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL). He was given the opportunity of a lifetime to work as a product designer alongside creative director Alexander Lamont. After a period of 11 years, Shoson pursued his passion for textures in textiles and established Ausara Surface & Textile in 2013. Since then he has returned to his roots of being a chemist and experiments daily by pushing the boundaries of what is known and what is possible in the world of textiles and wall coverings.

Jarupatcha's love for textiles came at a very early age when she would spend time knitting, sewing and playing needlework with her grandmother, a seamstress teacher in the Royal Palace. She has continued the family tradition by studying Textiles Design at KMITL, followed by a Master of Fine Arts at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. As an academic, Jarupatcha researched weave design for Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London and is a lecturer at KMITL. She has been a design consultant for numerous sectors such as International Trade Centre, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Thailand Creative and Design Centre (TCDC), Office of Knowledge Management and Development (OKMD) and collaborated on art and design projects with Jim Thompson, Alexander Lamont, Tai Ping and Doi Tung.

Ausara surface and textile is a small company led by Shoson Thatawakorn and Jarupatcha Achavasmith. The workshop, beautifully located in the outskirts of Bangkok, employs 9 craftsmen and weavers with different backgrounds. Together they create by hand the collections of textiles and wall coverings, designed by the two owners.

Ausara strives to enrich millennia’s old craft traditions by adding new materials and techniques.
