Jim Thompson, a world-renowned manufacturer of handwoven silk, is known for its iconic Thai silks, opulent materials, intricate patterns, and commitment to preserving the cultural heritage of Thai weaving communities. In addition, the brand has expanded its offerings to include a steadily growing selection of high-quality functional textiles and wall coverings.

No.9 Thompson, founded in 2006, is a dynamic brand with a relaxed, casual elegance. Under the direction of Richard Smith, No.9 Thompson emphasizes accessibility and a painterly expressiveness in its designs, utilizing a variety of materials such as linen and cotton.

Sasaya N Vesanen, Chief Commercial Officer – Home Furnishings at Jim Thompson, explains: “This is the first time ever that Jim Thompson Home Furnishings has presented our wide range of products at this trade fair. It’s a great opportunity for the public to learn more about our brand, not only in the fashion sector, but also about our complete range of interior design products.”

The upcoming interior design trends for 2023 focus on fun, playfulness, and a fresh color palette inspired by the 1970s. Comfort, relaxation, and elegance take center stage, with a Mediterranean flair and a return to minimalism – albeit in a more sophisticated and homely interpretation. Jim Thompson products embrace these trends, offering timeless designs that can be combined in a variety of ways to create unique aesthetics. At the same time, they impress with their high performance: they are lightweight, robust, quick-drying, and flame-retardant.
