sabai designs gallery evolved from a shared passion for travel and an appreciation of the artistic traditions of the East. After nearly two decades of travelling and living abroad we gravitated towards Southeast Asia where we now spend much of our time. Over the years we have formed lasting friendships with artists, artisans and antique dealers, learning all the time about the colourful and diverse cultures of the region and their unique creations.
We offer an exclusive range of art, artifacts, antiques and textiles from Laos, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Yunnan. We go to great lengths to source authentic, often rare pieces; each with a history and a story to tell.
In buying our items you will be helping to support the various peoples of this part of the world, including tribal minorities such as the Hmong, Naga, and Chin. You will also be supporting Elephant Nature Park, a sanctuary for mistreated and injured elephants located in the north of Thailand.
Enjoy browsing through our gallery. We continue to explore this region and frequently return with new pieces, so please visit regularly and don't hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have. If there are any items that you are interested in that have been sold or are not currently offered in our gallery, please let us know and we will try to find similar items for you.
We invite you to read testimonials that we have received from our customers over the last few years.
