Bat Trang pottery – a long-standing symbol of Vietnamese pottery continues to be introduced, promoted and honored through the works of TU Pottury Studio. The products are rustic yet sophisticated, demonstrating a harmonious combination of traditional aesthetics and modern lifestyle.

Continuing that creative flow, Hi' De Maison brings to EXPO handmade products inspired by traditional Vietnamese motifs, crafted on silver. The highlight is the traditional silver carving technique - a technique that requires patience, delicacy and high precision. On each product, the patterns appear vivid and sharp. This is not only an aesthetic item but also the embodiment of profound indigenous cultural stories.
