Through a shared passion for exploring materials, Kaarem and Ladies & Gentlemen Studio introduce SAP, a series of vessels inspired by the practice of displaying plant arrangements — a fleeting attempt to capture living beauty.
Nhựa cây (sap in Vietnamese) literally translates to “plastic plant," or in this case, a resin form encapsulating moments of nature and time.
SAP uses hand-cast resin to encapsulate a swatch of original Kaarem fabric fluidly suspended within the form. Each is individually cut, draped, and cast, creating a unique expression of the materials interacting and becoming one.
Commissioned by Sight Unseen for Field Studies, a benefit exhibition at Sight Unseen OFFSITE 2018. Net proceeds from the sale of this item are donated to Aid to Children Without Parents. Purchase available at 1stdibs.com

Ladies & Gentlemen x Kaarem SAP series for Field Studies at Sightunseen OFFSITE featured on Vogue.com.
The Xà Cừ trees (Khaya senegalensis) once lined Tôn Đức Thắng street, one of the oldest streets in the center of Sài Gòn. Many of the trees lining this road were planted since the late 1860s to early 1870s. It is often when things are lost that we start to notice them. Featuring our custom print, the Khaya Print, inspired by the barks of the Xà Cừ trees.
