Palm Paramee Panchaphalasom is a designer from Bangkok, Thailand, who is now based in Providence, Rhode Island. She recently graduated with a BFA in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design. Her design practices revolve around personal identity, local way of life, shared experiences, and the power of memory. The narrative serves as a guiding element in her work, shaping her approach to different materials and forms. She seeks to expand her practice beyond traditional furniture design by integrating more conceptual and interactive elements, engaging not just with physical touch but also with the psychological and emotional aspects of human-object relationships.
In her current project,
she explores the concept of the multiverse, using furniture as a medium to embody the infinite possibilities of existence. She reflects on the what-ifs and could-have-beens, questioning how our lives shift with every decision we make. At its core, the work examines why we reflect on the paths we didn’t take and how we might still find contentment in the present. Her goal is to open up this conversation to others, inviting the audience to engage with their own experiences, not just through thought, but through action, interaction, and emotional connection.

In her free time, when she is not busy unfolding the mysteries of the universe, and many other universes, she enjoys exploring Google Maps, checking flight prices, and planning her next adventure. And she probably did one already.
If Palm could choose one ingredient to eat for the rest of her life, it would be an egg.
