The Guimet National Museum of Asian Art, located in the 14th district of Paris, is one of the largest museums of Asian art with more than 50,000 precious artifacts displayed in a space of 55,000 square meters.

“Boundaries” is a work oriented towards future Asia, developed based on an imaginary poetic quartet where cultural tradition meets contemporary spirit.

For Yen Khe and Hanoia, “Boundary” is a challenging collaboration.

But the most important technical knot of this work is the connection between the inverted pyramid and the base, so that the two lacquer blocks can combine harmoniously with each other in a balanced stance.

Becoming the first contemporary work from Southeast Asia in Guimet’s collection is a great pride for Hanoia, a Vietnamese craft brand that is doing its best to bring Vietnamese lacquer to the international level.
