Contrasting proportions and materials are designed to establish the tension between the weightless yet grounded, resulting in contained comfort. From afar, the lampshades appear to grow from their base\u2014sprouting from the ground, like the namesake suggests.

With a weighted, hand-thrown porcelain base, each lamp is firmly grounded to the surface it rests on. In contrast, a large lampshade covered in D\u00f3 paper\u2014a historic paper handmade in B\u1eafc Ninh, Vi\u1ec7t Nam\u2014is platformed atop, lightweight and soft to the touch.

It withstands age and wear, due to its multi-layered process, traditionally used for royal documents and folk art. The craft to create D\u00f3 paper is over 800 years old but is waning, with only a handful of families that still retain the knowledge to create this paper all by hand. Due to the heat and humidity of Vi\u1ec7t Nam, production quantities must be smaller to allow proper pressing and drying, resulting in a textured yet pillowy paper that feels almost fabric-like. This collection aims to preserve the tradition by creating functional objects with the paper, re-thinking its past use to create functional objects for the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14205111\/Vy_Voi_Cu_Cai_Light_On_Front_PC_Andrew_Bui.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16389\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14205111\/Vy_Voi_Cu_Cai_Light_On_Front_PC_Andrew_Bui.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16389\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14205119\/Vy_Voi_Ca_Rot_Light_Off_Front_PC_Andrew_Bui.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16391\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14205119\/Vy_Voi_Ca_Rot_Light_Off_Front_PC_Andrew_Bui.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16391\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The paper\u2019s rich composition highlights bits of bark from the tree that it comes from, whether the lamp is on or off, affording each individual lamp its own character.
