About the products
The Golden age of Cambodia was in the 10t and 14 th century Angkor period, when many magnificent temples were built in the northern jungles. Rajana artisans use their rich heritage in product design and patterns into contemporary and saleable products.

Although famous for her violent past, Cambodia is now moving on as stability and peace are established. Cambodian artisans are now able to resurrect talents that have been long neglected. Through its artisans and artwork, Cambodia has many beautiful things to offer the world. Rajana is proud to see Cambodia taking her place once again in the visual arts of South East Asia.
