Viet Quang

Viet Quang is a small family company with talented artisans who possessed traditional skills that few people had. The father and his two sons made a lot of good products and won numerous awards for their innovation and tradition features. In their production process, a lot of redundant materials were wasted, which not only resulted in environmental pollution but financial loss. The D4S Redesign tool was used to make this waste into something more commercially valuable, which also involved these artisans’ traditional skills.

They had quite a lot of unique products in their portfolio, including interior lamps, handbags, and baskets. Their products were sold very well and they almost never run out of new orders. However, Viet Quang company could not expand their production scale to meet larger orders.

Viet Quang products were redesigned to facilitate the outsourcing of products’ components to nearby households, by which creating seasonal jobs for local women.

In the end, the D4S Redesign tool application had resulted in 10 products made out of 25 designs and displayed at Life Style Fair 2011.
