The Preservation of Heritage
“Our love for exploration and respect for ancient cultures is driven by the fact that our cultural heritage is disappearing at an incredible speed. While we cannot fight progress, it is essential that we preserve the knowledge of traditional crafts which play a vital role in any culture and identity. Thailand has many crafts that are preserved by Her Majesty The Queen in a unique organization called Silapacheep. To preserve these crafts is to preserve one’s Thai national heritage and we continue to do exactly that.”
About The Brand
LAdV, the diverse heritage atelier founded in 1982, continues its journey as a symbol of artistic excellence. LAdV designs and produces Jewellery, home décor, accessories and gifts, designed to stimulate the senses and inspire fresh perspectives, pushing the boundaries of traditional luxury.
CEO Nicki von Bueren states, “True luxury lies in the unattainable, and it is human nature to desire what seems out of reach.” This philosophy drives LAdV’s mission to turn dreams into reality for connoisseurs of excellence.
The essence of LAdV is exquisitely encapsulated in its approach and eclectic designs, crafting an unapparelled brand experience. Meticulously sourcing opulent materials from across the globe, such as Golconda diamonds, Columbian emeralds, Basra pearls, Burmese Rubies, and precious stones, seeds, nuts, coconut shells, stingray leather, ostrich eggs, emu eggs, scarab wings, ebony and precious woods, seashells, bamboo, and many more, LAdV blends the exquisite and the auspicious, rendering each material a new life in its designs. Each piece adopts artistic processes steeped in centuries-old traditions from around the world: gem-cutting from India, wood carving from Indonesia, niello work from Thailand, makie lacquer from Japan, and cinnabar lacquer from China. By embracing the rich heritage of Asia and the refined craftsmanship of Western cultures, LAdV stands as a true trailblazer in distinctive luxury.
LAdV’s flagship stores are located throughout Thailand, supported by representatives in key locations such as Malaysia, Singapore, China, India, Istanbul, Russia, the USA, Maldives, and Saint Barth. Additionally, the brand hosts exhibitions on a global scale.
