What is Water Hyacinth?
Water Hyacinth is a tropical waterweed with a spongy texture, commonly found in the rivers and lakes of Southeast Asia. This plant grows densely in clumps of some 8-10 stems, each an average of 60-80 centimeters in length. Water Hyacinth has become so prolific in Thailand that a large amount of public money was spent on its removal.

In order to give a proper incentive for villagers along the rivers and lakes of Thailand to actively participate in clearing Water Hyacinth from blocked waterways, it was necessary to turn this weed into an income generating material. Finally, water hyacinth has been transformed into a usable resource, ideal for creative furniture, which is extremely attractive, offering both simplicity and an exquisitely natural look.
