Hanoi honours handicraft product designs

This year's Hanoi Handicraft Product Design Contest took place from April to October.

The organising board selected 90 outstanding products from 376 products and sets of products in six handicraft industries by 180 organisations, individuals and artists.

Accordingly, the organising board presented 6 first prizes, 18 second prizes, 24 third prizes and 42 consolation prizes across six groups of handicraft products.

With the theme "Convergence of the quintessence of traditional handicraft products in the capital", the products have been created on the basis of the quintessential value of long-standing handicrafts. Skilled artisans and craftsmen have integrated new materials into each product in a harmonious, delicate and unique manner.

The contest aims to encourage individuals and organisations in the capital city to create new impressive unique designs for local handicraft products, especially those used as gifts for domestic and foreign visitors.

The products also help to increase the competitiveness of the city's handicraft production and promote the images, culture and people of Hanoi.

The winning products of the contest are being displayed in a special display area at Hanoi Gift Show 2022, which taking place from October 20 to 23 at the National Exhibition Construction Centre at No. 1 Do Duc Duc Street, Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi.
