Mia Design Studio is what he wants to send to generations of young designers. The identity attributes in interior design through his perspective are both practical and emotional, making the concepts of remembrance very old but new, thinking “West” but bringing the breath of identity.
From the perspective of Andrew Currie – A name that is no stranger to Vietnamese designers, the identity factor is not only in the material used, but also in the human problem. As a successful expat in the field of design in Vietnam over the past ten years, the “Vietnamese identity” reflected in people is also the inspiration for his creations.
According to Nguyen Phan Thuy Duong, editor of ELLE Decoration magazine, there are many reasons to expect an ecosystem of art, design and architectural projects that are truly rich in identity, but still very rich in approaches and techniques of exploration. Currently, a remarkable signal is that the young generation of 9X, Gen Z today is actively exploring and excited about designs, projects that take cultural identity – whether traditional culture or Vietnamese popular culture – as the theme.
