As the tides of change sweep closer, the values of old from which innovation springs, become ever more precious and worth embracing. Likewise, the solitude of nature has always been an ideal retreat for those who seeks a brief escape from the busy city life. These are the themes of Đẹp Magazine’s newest fashion story by Thai Pham, published in their June issue, which also features the presence of Bát Tràng Museum Atelier’s Dragon Stool and Tulipiere.
The stool is part of “Rồng Phố” (Dragon of the Urbanites), a series of artworks created through a collaboration between Bát Tràng Museum Atelier and Designer Diệu Anh. This collection includes five pieces of Bát Tràng ceramics, each combining the sacred imagery of the Asian dragon with the deeply resonant familiarity of everyday street objects—namely monoblocs, sidewalk stools, brick blocks, water pipes, and car tires—thus harmonizing the ancient traditions of Vietnam with the nation’s contemporary culture.
Tulipiere
First appearing in the 17th century, tuliperes were created by ancient ceramists to grow tulips indoor and are typically used as objects of display in the living rooms of the European upper class. This particular ceramic Tulipiere was handmade by the craftsmen of Bát Tràng Museum Atelier in the image of the classical European tulip-holders with the traditional glazing of Vietnamese ceramics.
