OUR STORY
A Legacy of Craftsmanship, Blending Innovation & Design
Since 1989, B.P.S. Milcom Co., Ltd. has served as the foundation for PLATO, crafting exquisite teak furniture, architectural woodwork, and flooring. In 2004, PLATO emerged as our signature brand, seamlessly merging our production prowess with cutting-edge design. This synergy yielded a collection of modern and contemporary furniture for both indoor and outdoor spaces, with a focus on solid wood craftsmanship.
The brand’s debut resonated deeply with consumers and leading design publications, garnering overwhelming praise. Today, PLATO expands its reach beyond borders, catering to international markets like Hong Kong, Malibu, and France, where discerning homeowners seek fresh design expressions. Our commitment to innovation extends beyond products, as we actively participate in renowned events such as IMM – D3 (Cologne), Maison et Objet – OUTDOOR (Paris), and Spazio Ex Ansaldo (Milan), showcasing our latest collections to the global design community.
The Untouchable Allure of Golden Teak
Golden Teak’s reputation for unparalleled beauty and unmatched physical properties is well-earned, dating back to the colonial era. Its popularity stems not from mere aesthetics, but from its exceptional resistance to decay, natural termite and insect repellency, and remarkable dimensional stability. This combination makes it the undisputed champion for outdoor furniture and boat decks, weathering the elements with unmatched grace.
Beyond its practical advantages, Golden Teak holds a deeper significance in Southeast Asia, where it is considered one of the “9 sacred woods.” Revered as “SAK” in Thai and linked to deities in Hinduism and Buddhism, it transcends mere timber to become an auspicious symbol, believed to bring fortune and blessings to its owner.
From Nature's Embrace to Modern Expression
At PLATO, nature whispers inspiration, both overt and nuanced. We challenge conventions by crafting a distinct narrative – one that seamlessly blends the cool, contemporary aesthetic of Asian influence with the dynamic spirit of modern living. Our designs move beyond the predictable embrace of ethnic styles, opting instead for a captivating clash of delicate Thai craftsmanship and futuristic sensibilities.
We believe that truly exceptional design arises from observing the tapestry of everyday life. By immersing ourselves in the ever-evolving cultural landscape and understanding the needs of today’s individuals, we ensure our creations remain relevant and resonant. Our expertise in teak wood intertwines with modern technology and innovative ideas, giving birth to fresh visions for furniture trends. Through this synergy, we forge objects that not only adorn spaces but also seamlessly integrate with the lifestyles of a contemporary world.
