The table lamps by Bát Tràng Museum Atelier (BTMA) are the result of material fusion and a celebration of traditional craftsmanship.
Three original designs—created in collaboration with LEAP ART and BEAULO by ARB Architects—explore the interplay between ceramics, colored composites, and hand embroidery on velvet and linen.
TOGAN
BTMA x BEAULO by ARB Architects
Inspired by a ceramic work by the late People’s Artisan Vũ Thắng—currently displayed at the Bat Trang Museum of Viet Soul Art—TOGAN is reimagined with a lampshade designed by architect Nguyễn Hà of BEAULO. Its silhouette evokes the traditional mỏ quạ headscarf worn by Northern Vietnamese women. This design bridges the vision of a contemporary artist with the legacy of a traditional master.

BALLERINA

A fusion of Western ballet form and Eastern craftsmanship.
