I · Nguyễn Duy Hiệu
34 Nguyễn Duy Hiệu
The first house, in a quiet corner of Thảo Điền, An Khánh Ward, open since July 2022. Daylight enters through the glass room at the door. Pluviophile (July 2024), Letters from 221B Baker Street (December 2024) and Pluviophile – Chapter 2 (July–August 2026) were all shown in these rooms.
In April 2022 this was still a private home. A short film follows the change, from demolition to the rooms that opened that July: From a house to a showroom.

· Patina
Hold the brass
Each Patina bottle carries three pieces of brass, corroded and polished by hand. Piece I stays bare brass. Piece III has turned fully to patina. Piece II is caught midway, and goes on turning, very slowly, in the air of your room.
The idea came from relics in Huế; twelve months of research and development went into the Patina line.
At the house, pick one up and turn it under the light before you choose.
· Ceramic
Lift the ceramic cap
The Ceramic bottle is closed with a round ceramic cap, glazed in tones that recall Chu Đậu ware and fired at 1000°C. Each cap is cast in a mould, trimmed and sponged by hand, left to dry, then glazed and fired. The ceramic charm is engraved with R.
The kiln decides the glaze and the maker’s hand the tassel, so each Ceramic bottle comes to you as it was finished. Photographs only go so far: the glaze shifts with the light and from one firing to the next. Ceramic arrives at the houses in late November.
