Van Thiel & Co.

Based in Ho Chi Minh City, Van Thiel & Co.’s custom furniture and millwork collection balances substantial monolithic forms with hand-forged textures, continuous contoured joinery, and subtle shadow reveals that visually elevate heavy materials. This body of work provides a precise visual precedent when detailing soft-radius drawer profiles, specifying tactile metal hardware against fine wood grains, or engineering floating base reveals for interior cabinetry.
