VTV.vn - Vietnamese lacquer painting is a unique art form. However any traditional artform risks the threat of irrelevency and outdatedness if it fails to develop.

Vietnamese lacquer working is no exception and part of its develpment relies on incorporating influences from other sources. This combination has enriched the language of modern Vietnamese lacquer art and offers a new direction in the preservation and development of Vietnamese lacquer.

Instead of traditional lacquer production, a project organised by HaNoi A- a group of designers from France, has created a new style, whereby Vietnamese lacquer products have gained a foothold in the international market.

Not only with lacquer paint, with a combination of traditional style and modern, traditional products of Vietnam through this project is also redesigned to attract modern-day consumers.

Starting with 300 famous lacquer artisans, HaNoi A expects this project will not only innovate the countrys lacquer craft industry but also promote Vietnamese products.
