Designed by Fashion Designer Dieu Anh in collaboration with Bát Tràng Museum Atelier (BTMA), “Rồng Phố” is a collection of five ceramic art pieces. Each piece combined the regal Asian dragon icon with the everyday street objects like plastic stools, monoblocs, brick blocks, water pipes, and car tires. As a result, they distinctively harmonize the ancient traditions of Vietnam and the nation’s contemporary cultures, forming a one-of-a-kind art collection.
The Dragon Stool — a humble icon of Vietnam’s sidewalk culture, echoing the plastic stools where street stories are told.

According to East Asian beliefs, the Dragon embodies the power of the four elements that make up the universe: Earth, Water, Air and Fire; and we mere mortals occupy a very miniscule part of it. This was the core idea that guided Bát Tràng Museum Atelier x dieuAnh throughout their process of conceptualizing Rồng Phố. They were aiming for something new, a fresh notion, one that retains the sacredness of the source of inspiration, yet intimately familiar to one and all. By the flame of passion for the ceramic art, life alongside the energy of universe are breathed into these artworks, and unto the inner self, by proxy.
