We are proud to be a people with their own identity. In particular, we are associated with friends of the five continents in the ingenuity and unique beauty in the interior. The sophistication in everyday objects up to the ancient space of thousands of years. How to preserve the Vietnamese identity that generations of his father have brightened. The seminar of experts, leading architects in the furniture industry took place. Help us have a more multidimensional view of the beauty of “Vietnamese identity”. To feel more proud, it is the responsibility to learn and preserve the beauty of the nation.

THE TREASURE TROVE OF IDENTITY DOCUMENTS IS A SOLID FULCRUM

In 2020, Vietnam is praised by the whole world for its great “national spirit” because of its solidarity, strength and efforts to “vietnamese” in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. But perhaps, many of them, foreigners, were unaware of a Vietnamese country of 54 ethnic groups, possessing a stretch of S-shaped land with an invaluable gift from nature, which the Hung Kings had built for 4,000 thousand years of civilization and could not fail to mention the imprints of the history of artistic creation. from ancient times, with dong son drum motif recognized by UNESCO intangible heritage or treasures hidden secrets about decorative patterns reached the sophistication of the ancient Vietnamese. Undeniably, all those values, which are invaluable treasures, are a solid fulcrum for Vietnamese people to bounce higher, go further in the international arena.

KTS. NTKNT. Nguyen Hoang Manh, who has won many important international awards in the field of architecture and interiors, shared: “The approach in most of my designs is to rely on the indigenous element and develop ideas. That may be one of the factors in which these works are highly appreciated by the International Council.” With the diversity of natural terrain, culture, customs and artistic materials throughout the periods, Vietnamese identity has been and will continue to grow and become a valuable source of load for each interior designer to be proud and promote.

In the era of globalization, Vietnamese interior designers have more tools, but it will also be a potential challenge without a solid foundation. The introduction of trends and trends from the major interior design backgrounds in the world, as a double-edged sword impacts the design thinking of many young people. If the lack of selective learning and neglect of the vietnamese sense of an interior background continues, it will be possible to slow down the process of positioning “a personality” of the Vietnamese interior, as well as it is difficult to create a special commitment in the design works.

A MULTIDIMENSIONAL PERSPECTIVE ON IDENTITY IN INTERIOR DESIGN: FROM TRADITIONAL TO MODERN, FROM IDENTITY TO INTEGRATION

For the first time in the framework of a seminar program, there was the participation of typical characters, who have made significant achievements and contributions to the interior design – architecture of the country. In an era when everyone wanted to be “remembered by name”, they had their own ways to assert themselves against international rivals. And the seminar “Vietnamese identity in interior design” was the first time they shared about the journey of building the identity.

Architect Le Truong and the son of traditional craft villages: Spending many years deeply into the villages producing materials and carvings of the Vietnamese, Architect Le Truong realized the potential value here, especially the value with the furniture sector in our country, Such as wood, metal or ceramic carvings… Many impressive hotel interiors he designed based on concepts inspired by ancient villages and products from craft villages such as Grand Mercure, Sapa Hotel, TG House …

Meanwhile, the simplicity and simplicity through the journey of “recounting traditions in minimalist language” of architects. 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.

An attractive topic, exploited from a multidimensional professional perspective with the participation of typical characters, the seminar “Vietnamese identity in interior design” not only brings an overall picture of identity issues, but also contributes to encouraging students, Young designers are always aware of the characteristic national spirit of Vietnamese interior designers, and consider it as a guideline for long-term career orientation.
