About Mr. Viroj Khanamphornpan : Mr. Viroj Khanampornpan is the founder and CEO of Applied Innotech Plus Co., Ltd., Thailand. A lifelong inventor and problem-solver, he has devoted his career to creating innovations that simplify daily living and enhance safety.
His key creations include:
- The 3-in-1 SMART Spring LED Tube Lamp Holder — a single-piece universal support for all LED tube lamps in the world, compatible with G5, G13, and Fa8 pins.
- The Safety Plug — a life-protective yet straightforward design that speaks its purpose: “Safety Plug, Safety Jobs, Safety You.”
- The MAGIC Folding Leg Table — equipped with four hidden and moving caster wheels, offering effortless mobility with no carrying — just moving. One user can easily set, fold, or shift it anywhere.
Beyond lighting and furniture, Mr. Viroj also explores sustainable reuse and creative transformation, such as converting discarded PET bottles into modular, jigsaw-like components for floating and piping systems — and extending these ideas into the LED Wavy Form concept. This flexible, recyclable lighting structure merges energy saving, aesthetics, and eco-responsibility. Together, they reflect his commitment to human-centered innovation, resource efficiency, and a greener world.
STATEMENT OF ART:
“Design is a living process — when I see something new, I think about how to make it safer, easier, or more useful.”
Mr. Viroj’s design philosophy grows from positive curiosity — understanding how things work and transforming them into safer, more innovative, and more sustainable forms.
From the Nirapai Safety Plug to the MAGIC Folding Leg Table, and now the 3-in-1 SMART Spring LED Tube Lamp Holder with its future-ready LED Wavy Form, his works unite safety, sustainability, and comfort through elegant mechanical design.
He also extends his creativity into environmental innovation — turning discarded PET bottles into modular, reusable materials for practical and decorative applications, bridging design, ecology, and engineering into one continuous art.
He believes true innovation must empower everyday life with simplicity, safety, and joy —
“Invention is my lifelong art — turning daily needs into practical, safe, and sustainable designs that connect engineering logic with human comfort.”
