INTERCETTATI2nd Place - BIENENSTOCK Furniture Design Competition
Being born and raised in Vietnam, early acquainting myself with art in America, I have interwoven the two cultures together in not only my design philosophy but also my life attitude.
I believe that a piece of furniture does not only bring comfort, but also raises awareness and appreciation of the users of it. As Alina Wheeler famously said “Design is intelligence made visible”, I believe that design is the result of experimental and observational research. I share a strong interest in not only problem solving, but also in human behaviors within the built environment. Creating a space that brings out emotions and affects behaviors is the sole of my passion.
My goal is to pursue the interior design profession with a strong background in furniture design.

The goals of the project are to preserve and represent the traditional Vietnamese arts and crafts and its innovative applications. At the same time, it is also to support and raise awareness of the community, engage and educate the young generations through the production process and encourage local designers, artists to contribute to the improvement of the industry.
Hopefully in a near future, the Vietnamese arts and crafts will be made known to the world. The project is a solution not only to the current challenges of one of the oldest industries in Vietnam but also to the contemporary issues of the young generations in its largest city.

REUNIFICATION PALACE
april 30th Park
Traffic Circulation
Green Elements
Although located on a one-direction street, the building still has great potential for attracting visitors due to its active surrounding environment.
The existing French Colonial architectural elements also help accentuate the historic and cultural values that will be implemented in the building.
Traffic Circulation
For a city that is well known for its noise, chaotic traffic & general busyness, HCMC also has its fair share of very chilled out parks. 30/4 Park is one such place that offers a welcome break from the continually hectic environment. It is very popular with locals (especially the youths) & tourists alike, most people come here to people watch, relax or just enjoy the lovely environment.
Surrounded by Royal Palm trees, the dissonant 1960s architecture of this government building and the eerie mood that accompanies a walk through its deserted halls make it one of the most intriguing spectacles in Ho chi minh City. Each day, the palace welcomes thousands of tourists, both citizens and foreigners from all over the world.

visitorsThe program is to educate the community about Vietnamese tradition, culture, arts and crafts, thus strengthen their identity, value and beliefs. It is also to encourage young artists and designers to produce new design utilizing traditional skills, as well as to raise aweareness and appreciation of the youth generation.
The petal structure is a way of organising multiple speakers or stories around one central concept. It’s useful if you have several unconnected stories you want to tell or things you want to reveal – that all relate back to a single message.
You tell your stories one by one before returning back to the centre. The petals can overlap as one story introduces the next but each should be a complete narrative in itself.
In doing so, you can weave a rich tapestry of evidence around your central theory. Or strong emotional impressions around your idea.
By showing your audience how all these key stories are related to one another, you leave them feeling the true importance and weight of your message.
Indochina (Indian + Chinese)Buddhism: Enlightenment; Pink lotus represents the highest deity - the Great Buddha himselfHinduism: eternity, purity, divinity, life, fertility, ever-renewing youth, expanding of the soul and spiritual awakening
Vietnam national flower for its cultural significance, symbolism, and popularity
Eternity knot (endless knot)Symbolizing the Buddha’s endless wisdom and compassion
Layers of PetalsPlay off light and shadow, form and shape
Petal StructureSaigon Chuyen is a storyteller who is constantly in the process of taking ancient images and casting them into contemporary kinds of forms. Its purpose is to take the audience on a journey, leaving them feeling inspired and motivated.
Petal Structure is one of the most efficient storytelling techniques for engaging the audiences. Inspired by the overlapping structure of the flower petals, the technique weaves different stories around one central topic. Thus, the audience will develop their imagination, understanding, connection and inspiration through layers of events, discovery and moments of surprise.

“I work with the ideas of geometrics, mixing hard lines with organic, soft and hard, a mix of masculine and feminine. I like fun, bold and bright prints. I want to create work that is fun and interesting, using unique color combinations. I’m inspired by Yayoi Kusama, Bauhaus, Memphis design, and fashion brands such as Kenzo and Vivienne Westwood. I want the brand to be seen as young, fresh, bold and graphic.”
- KATIE WALCK (CLIENT)
Inspired from the word Enigma, a sense of layering will be created using harsh geometric lines on softer, more naturalistic forms.
An enigmatic mix of masculinity and femininity will be spatially gridded in form with abstract shapes and organic details to bring forth unique artistic elements on a clean, simple, and minimalistic canvas of post-modernism.

The Teavana dream began with an idea that people would enjoy fresh, high-quality tea in a place that was part Tea Bar, part Tea Emporium. The company wanted to introduce people to the aromas, textures, and beneficial qualities of loose leaf teas while enlightening them with the history and variety of teas available - and this is how Teavana was born.
GOAL: To be a HEAVEN OF TEA and to the tea lifestyle and wonderful tastes of tea. To provide fresh, high quality teas and the products to serve them To create a unique tea experience in each store by encouraging a positive, healthy outlook for all who enter.

This TEAVANA KIOSK DESIGN, a smaller version of a TEAVANA retail store, brings out a healthy, natural and organic outlook with a strong Asian accent. Spaces for tea samples, tea check-out areas and displayed products are provided. The architectural shape is to attract consumers, and also give out a sense of what type of products being sold at the kiosk.

CAMPFIRE
Based on a circular orientation. Campfire is made out of two basic forms: a circle with a triangle in the center. Circle, which encloses the space, connects people, encourages conversation and has no hierarchy, is highly preferred in collaborative space. The office will also have different working zones overlap each other, creating transitional area, in order to keep the work flow smooth and continuous. Like “Yin and Yang”, the design emphasizes the balance of collaborative and focus areas, different levels of privacy and layers of lighting and colors, bringing nature along with its organic shape into the space to support wellbeing.
A multi-national design and innovation consulting firm delivering human - focused solutions with global impact, the company is widely recognized for its multidisciplinary work in research, strategy, innovation, and design. All the departments come together to work side by side on one project, which makes the design process a closed loop.

the picturesqueHOME
Mid-century modern style is characterized by ‘strong interaction with nature’ and ‘minimalism’. Nature is introduced into the house through open space, natural light and earthy colors. All the design elements are kept simple but aesthetic and functional. The clients are a couple in their late 50s who enjoy exploring the natural world around them. The design approach is to create a minimal and open space that encourages their social conversations as well as their interactions with nature. At the same time, it will be functional and accessible for their special needs.

The design is to require many speeds of the users’ engagement in order to raise their awarness and appreciation of their own furniture.
The process offers happiness, content, profundity and stress relief, encouraging the use of local sustainable resources.

Honorable Mention
Inspired by the unique application of Parabolic Curves, INTERCETTATI’s design aims to a sleek form that creates a three dimensional visual effect.
The design draws attention to the bottom part of the table, which is usually hidden in most table’s designs. In spite of the futuristic look, it still has a touch of traditional architecture elements.
insp
irat
ion
The beauty of the design is that it creates a sense of movement and fluidity by utilizing only straight lines. That is why despite its complex look, the building process is very simple.
The table can be used for many different occasions for its aesthetically pleasing design and neutral wood colors. No matter where it is placed, the INTERCETTATI will become the focal point of the space – a gathering spot.
