Royal Botania Arrives in Thailand: Redefining Outdoor Living with SDesigns

Bangkok, 17 July 2025 — SDesigns is proud to announce the official launch of Royal Botania in Thailand, marking a bold new chapter in luxury outdoor design. With over 30 years of global acclaim, Royal Botania brings its signature blend of refined craftsmanship, design excellence, and environmental responsibility to Thailand’s vibrant and design-savvy audience.

This exclusive partnership with SDesigns introduces a brand that is not just about outdoor furniture—but about reimagining the way we live, relax, and connect with nature.

A Philosophy Rooted in Purpose

Every piece created by Royal Botania reflects a design philosophy built on three powerful pillars:
Sustainability – Innovation – Craftsmanship.

From expansive penthouses and serene poolside decks to elegant yachts and boutique retreats, Royal Botania collections are designed to elevate outdoor spaces into places of deep comfort and meaning. More than aesthetic statements, these are works of functional art—intended to be experienced and cherished.

“Royal Botania isn’t just about furniture—it’s about enriching how people live,” says Francis Vanbellen, CEO of SDesigns and Thailand Representative of Royal Botania. “Thailand’s tropical climate and affinity for elevated outdoor living make it the ideal home for our next chapter.”

Where Elevated Design Meets Ecological Integrity

Royal Botania has long been a pioneer in eco-conscious luxury. The brand’s commitment to sustainable production goes beyond words—it’s deeply woven into every design decision.

With responsibly harvested teak, recycled aluminium, and weatherproof, non-toxic textiles, each item is made to endure the elements gracefully while leaving a lighter footprint.

One of the brand’s proudest milestones is the Green Forest Plantation initiative, through which Royal Botania has cultivated more than 250,000 teak trees over 200 hectares in Thailand since 2011. This initiative ensures quality control, full traceability, and a living commitment to environmental restoration.

“To us, true luxury must also be sustainable,” Francis adds. “From reforestation to eliminating petroleum-based materials, we believe every detail matters.”

Design Icons That Inspire

A hallmark of Royal Botania is its timeless, award-winning creations. Flagship pieces available in Thailand now include:

Palma Parasol: With a sculptural silhouette inspired by palm trees, this parasol uses BMW-developed hydraulic mechanics for effortless use. Its design won the Red Dot Award, celebrating its fusion of form and innovation.
Carés Chair: Featuring over 400 metres of hand-woven rope per chair, the Carés dining chair exemplifies traditional craftsmanship brought to modern design. Woven by just two artisans, each chair tells a story of dedication and detail.
Ninix Sunlounger: Engineered for ergonomic comfort, the Ninix lounger incorporates a patented gas-spring recline system in a sleek aluminium frame. Understated yet exceptional, it speaks to the best of European elegance.

Royal Botania’s range continues to grow with new lounge systems and customizable combinations—offering a seamless fit for both indoor and outdoor lifestyles.

Designed and Made in Thailand

With a 13,000-square-metre production site in Thailand, Royal Botania not only manufactures locally, but also uplifts the local community. The facility employs over 300 skilled Thai craftspeople, and goes further by providing wellness programs, language education, and family support initiatives.

At the core of Royal Botania’s approach is a belief that design is human—and so is the process behind it.

“What we create is more than furniture—it’s a lifestyle,” Francis concludes. “It’s about surrounding ourselves with beauty, intelligence, and purpose—and savoring every moment outdoors.”
