Anon Pairot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anon Pairot is a Thai artist and designer based in Bangkok.
Born in 1979, Pairot grew up in a family of five. He has one older brother and a younger sister. His parents were owners of a small convenience store in Nonthaburi, just on the outskirts of Bangkok.[1] Anon Pairot's passion is to analyze physical matter and its design. His works explore the frontiers of design and transcend objects, architecture and the installation of exhibitions, as part of an artistic dimension, which is sustainable and ecological. This particular approach finds its explanation in his original and atypical career: a graduate in mechanical engineering from the North Mongkut University of Technology (KMUTNB), he took the industrial design route with bold aspirations. Today, this creative soul is found in many brands: Habitat, Fendi, Grohe, Philippe Starck Hotel, Ford automobile, Vitra Design Museum, Johnny Walker, Bacardi, Magazine Wallpaper, Interni Magazine, Kenneth Cobonpue, Diagram, Ilumi...[2]
Education
In 1997, Pairot graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering from King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB). He later shifted his focus from engineering to industrial design, enrolling in the Faculty of Architecture at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL). Pairot chose to focus on industrial design because he wanted to design a whole car, not just car parts. Anon said, "I used to think that engineering means designing everything. I didn't even know industrial design exists [as a separate discipline]."[1]
