For this project, I researched a designer or design company and created a contemporary side table that fits into their product line. I chose Vietnamese freelance designer Võ Quang Tỵ, whose work is inspired by humble, everyday objects in Vietnamese culture. Reflecting that value, I incorporated the terracotta wind block pattern and the bamboo tree, a native Vietnamese plant, to create Nguyệt. Its form references the traditional foldable dining table, while the reddish hue of cherry wood echoes the color of terracotta. With a circular tabletop and rectilinear stretchers, the design also reflects the Vietnamese philosophy of “round sky, square earth.” The name Nguyệt, which means 'moon' in Vietnamese, refers to the round shape of this table, and it is also a tribute to the wish for a fulfilled life of the Vietnamese people.
