Craft Process
Dó paper
Handcrafted Light, Vietnamese Soul
Dó paper, with its raw fibrous texture and natural translucence, offers a deeply emotional visual experience when used in lighting design. Unlike conventional fabric coverings, dó paper diffuses light in a soft, warm way while preserving a sense of depth through its organic irregularities. As light filters through, the surface reflects like watercolor, creating gentle, shimmering patterns that feel poetic and artisanal.
By merging this traditional material with contemporary lighting structures, we introduce a design language that is both technical and expressive.
Each dó-paper-wrapped lamp becomes more than just a lighting object — it transforms into a handcrafted piece grounded in Vietnamese heritage, bringing a sense of elegance, calm, and character to the space.
Incorporating Dó paper into lighting design offers a refreshing visual journey – where modern engineering harmonizes with handcrafted tradition. As light filters through the paper, it forms abstract, warm gradients and delicate textures, evoking a depth of emotion rarely found in industrial materials.
