EVSDA 2025 – ‘INNOVATION’ SHORTLIST – NỐI (D0NE TEAM)

*

The Nối project was born out of a simple idea: to challenge the wasteful and temporary nature of big events in Vietnam. Our team at D0NE designed a full ecosystem for a real-world cultural festival in Ho Chi Minh City.

We knew traditional events are often just a pile of single-use stuff, so we created a proposal that was a complete rethink.

In the end, the idea was turned down for being "too progressive for a mass audience." To us, that just proves how much it pushed the boundaries.

The core of our innovation was a two-part system: the Nối modules (our modular furniture) and the Nối program (a purpose-driven event schedule).
