BằNG Đan by Thomas Vincent
Designed by Thomas Vincent in 2024, Đan is a 21 x 21 cm catch-all tray woven by hand from two linen strips and bamboo sticks, without glue or screws. Nine linen colours from Cream and Black to Neon Lime and Ice Mint, and a Linen & Acrylic version in eleven colour pairings. Light, flexible and made in BằNG's workshop in Vietnam.
Đan is BằNG's catch-all tray, designed by Thomas Vincent in 2024. In Vietnamese, đan means to knit, plait or weave, a nod to both the tray's construction and Vietnam's weaving tradition. Each tray is assembled by hand from two identical linen strips and natural bamboo sticks, with no glue, screws or fasteners, so it stays ultra-light and flexible while holding keys, jewellery and the small objects of everyday life. The plain tray comes in nine linen colours; the Linen & Acrylic version pairs the linen with a coloured cast acrylic element in eleven combinations.
