Saan Lab is derived from “Saan” (สรรค์ → สร้างสรรค์), meaning to create, and “Lab”, a space for exploration and experimentation.
Saan Lab is a creative community that exists to explore, experiment, and challenge traditional boundaries of creativity. Unlike painting or sculpture confined to a canvas, it embraces cross-disciplinary collaboration across industries, where creativity is refined as a core value and ideas from design, technology, culture, and human experience intersect to form new possibilities.
We aim not only to connect Thai creatives but also to build bridges with the global creative community, expanding into new industries and regions such as London, where local meets global.
Our Mission
Redefine the Boundaries of Thai Creativity
To create a platform where art, design, and innovation connect across disciplines and cultures — inspiring a new generation of creators to think globally, act sustainably, and collaborate meaningfully to strengthen and elevate Thailand’s creative ecosystem through collaboration, innovation, and shared growth.
Empower Cross-Industry Innovation
To build a creative ecosystem that empowers young Thai talents through collaboration, experimentation, and exploration, fostering new ways of thinking and working across diverse creative and non-creative fields.
Bridge Local and Global Creativity
To connect Thai creativity with global perspectives, cultivating opportunities for international collaboration, professional growth, and creative exchange where local voices meet global impact
Vision
Saan Lab envisions a sustainable and interconnected Thai creative ecosystem, one that thrives on innovation, collaboration, and global partnerships.
We are committed to aligning our vision with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth — by empowering Thai creatives to turn ideas into meaningful work through innovation, entrepreneurship, and global opportunities.
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals — by fostering collaborations that connect people, industries, and cultures to build a more creative and sustainable future.
