Founded on the legacy of the late People\u2019s Artisan V\u0169 Th\u1eafng, BTMA continues to explore the intersection of traditional ceramic techniques and contemporary design thinking.

At the exhibition, BTMA introduces new readings of familiar forms. The generative energy of Su\u1ed1i Ngu\u1ed3n<\/i> is expressed through a bespoke motif system applied on the Tulip Tower and the embroidered surfaces of the Ballerina table lamp. The Tulip lamp further opens a dialogue between the modern tulipiere ceramic base and the Blooming pattern, distilled from traditional blue-and-white ceramic ornamentation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”8rem”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md”][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-8″][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_single_image image=”8405″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ offset=”vc_col-md-2 vc_col-sm-offset-1 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-3″][vc_single_image image=”6476″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section el_class=”.grid-collection”][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-3 vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_column_text]\r\n
