EVSDA 2025 – ‘PRODUCT DESIGN’ SHORTLIST – CYPERA (HHN DESIGN)

*

The "Cypera" is a thoughtfully crafted furniture line that honors both Vietnam’s cultural heritage and contemporary sustainable design principles.

This collection centers around the use of sedge, a natural material with deep historical roots in Vietnam, cultivated for over five centuries and traditionally used in handicrafts such as mats, bags, and hats.

Materials: Sedge fiber, FSC-certified Acacia wood, Rubio Monocoat (VOC-free linseed oil)

Design wise: biophilic design with handwoven dyed sedge, FSC Acacia wood, and flexible leather hinges for adaptability and craftsmanship.
 

Responsible production and distribution practices: flat-pack design, recyclable packaging, durable construction, and biodegradable or reusable materials.

The Cypera Collection stands as a compelling example of how heritage, sustainability, and innovation can intertwine to create furniture that is not only beautiful and practical but also deeply respectful of people, culture, and planet.
