élément de base

Built around the idea that furniture should adapt rather than be replaced, Élément de base takes a pragmatic approach to contemporary design. Founded in 2016 by siblings Thien and My Ta Trung, the studio focuses on modular, made-to-order pieces that can shift with changing spaces and lives. Sofas are designed with removable, replaceable covers; layouts can be reconfigured instead of discarded. Everything is conceived locally and produced without intermediaries, which keeps prices accessible without stripping away quality. The aesthetic leans clean and restrained, borrowing cues from high-end European furniture while staying grounded in everyday use.
