Chicago-based artist Michael Thompson creates unique kites crafted from split bamboo frames covered with stretched muslin and a collage of vintage Asian ephemera—including fragments of fabric, scrolls, drawings, and books collected during his travels. In “Day Turns to Night,” Thompson plays with pattern and color, arranging densely printed silks in transition from light to dark. The kite's lively composition of lush florals celebrates the rhythms of life and exudes a sense of joyous perpetuity.

Thompson has earned an international reputation for his kite works, an engrossing project initiated by the artist more than a decade ago.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
