Điểm Furniture & Lighting

A metal perforated collection. A harmony of raw techniques and sleek form.

A collection of accessories, furniture and lighting. Using the fewest possible metal sheets in the making process, the final products take sleek and monolithic shapes. Combined with a square hole matrix, what remains is an aesthetic defined by what’s already gone. In Vietnamese, “điểm” means “point” or “dot”.

Designed by Thomas Bình-Minh Vincent in 2021

Điểm collection highlights traditional manufacturing process like cutting, bending, rolling, welding and sanding.

This very first collection encapsulates the design philosophy of the brand, which is deeply connected to materials and process, as denoted by its name “BằNG”, a Vietnamese preposition for made by or made from.

A Saigonese habit

Điểm products are intended for heavy use in public spaces and cafes, in-line with Saigonese habits of sitting on low stools.

Mostly made of steel, every furniture elements are low, with similar heights, so they can be used as both table and seat.

Using just one single machine/process

Designer Thomas Bình-Minh Vincent started with a constraint: to go from 2D laser cut sheet to a 3D shape, using just one single machine/process.
