Toan Nguyen

Nguyen’s design ethos is rooted in cross-cultural immersion. His global travels, particularly through cities explored on foot, inform his ability to translate architectural narratives into functional objects. Collaborations like the "YOKO" outdoor collection with German luxury brand Rolf Benz exemplify this synthesis. By pairing teak and ceramic surfaces with aluminum frames and handwoven details, the series balances German precision with French elegance, achieving harmony between Zen minimalism and ergonomic innovation.

Material exploration defines Nguyen’s creative process. His research into ceramic technology for LAUFEN’s Blue Diamond basins revolutionized water efficiency without compromising design, earning accolades such as the Red Dot Design Award. This meticulous attention to detail extends to his collaborations with Fendi, where the "Doyle" lounge chair merges luxury and practicality through customizable upholstery options and solid wood frames.

"Design is a vessel for storytelling," Nguyen reflects. "My role is to ensure each story holds infinite possibilities." Through modular flexibility, cultural fusion, and material mastery, he continues to redefine how we inhabit and interact with our spaces.
