Our mission
“We act with audacity and authenticity to give Cambodian handicrafts a new dimension.”
To create the first Cambodian handicraft center that incubates local artisans, mixing traditional knowledge with contemporary design to showcase Cambodian’ talents to local and international visitors and to transmit these know-how over time while having a sustainable social, economic, and environmental impact.
What drives us
Three pillars hold the center together.
TRANSMIT
An educational and cultural mission.
Highlight Cambodian culture and artisans’ talents beyond national borders. Inspire and encourage the young generation to perpetuate this ancestral know-how. We hope to stimulate their desire to work in this field and allow this know-how to continue over time.
ENHANCE
A unique and innovative artistic approach.
Combine contemporary designs with traditional know-how to create unique, desirable high-end products with high value-added. Reinforce collaborations will help to foster Cambodian artisans’ creativity. We believe in making captivated design as a catalyst for powerful, purposeful changes.
EMPOWER
A social and economic impact.
Create a tangible impact toward artisans and local communities and provide them with regular revenues and social advantages. Develop artisan’s core skills and allow incubated artisans to become autonomous and financially independent offering them “customized services” accordingly to their own abilities, needs and ambitions.
Our crafts
Fifteen know-hows, five living traditions.
From stone and wood carving to silk weaving, lacquer and silver plating — Cambodian craft, reinterpreted with contemporary design.
Satcha’s incubated artisans
The best of Cambodian talents.
Fifty and more artisans are incubated at Satcha — placed at the center of the scene, supported to develop their craft, earn regular revenue, and become autonomous. They are the heart of everything made here.
Visit the center
A unique place, open for free visit.
Six workshops built entirely from Kampong Cham bamboo, a welcome desk, guided visits to meet the artisans, a showroom and a coffee shop. Open seven days a week, 8 am to 7 pm.
