When we opened our new location over a year ago, we knew we wanted something special on these walls. This mural, created by local artist and longtime Sticky Rice supporter Curtis Glover, brings Lao culture to life in a way that means so much to us.

From Pha That Luang in Vientiane to the three headed elephant, Buddha, the national flower Dok Champa, and traditional sinh textiles, every element was thoughtfully chosen. Each detail reflects the beauty of Laos while also blending in the Sticky Rice brand. 💚

If you haven’t seen it in person yet, come by and take a look.
