The material & craft

Vụn Art takes fabric offcuts left over from Hanoi's silk workshops — scraps too small for garment-making — and gives them to artisans with disabilities, who piece them by hand into wall art pieces like this one. Each piece is one of a kind, because no two offcuts are ever quite the same. Read more about Vụn Art →

Why we selected it

Working with Vụn Art meant building the collection around what the artisans already do well, rather than asking them to work a different way — so the designs stayed simple, and the patchwork stayed honest.

How it can be used

Hang it as wall art in a living room, hallway, or entryway — available in two sizes to suit the space. It arrives unframed, ready to frame in your own style or hang as-is for a more natural, textile look. Every piece is pieced by hand, so it can also be personalized: send us a company logo or favorite image, and we'll design a piece around it.

Explore the Designs

Because every piece is pieced from reclaimed silk offcuts, the exact colors and composition vary piece to piece — here's a glimpse of designs that have come through the workshop, not a guarantee of which one you'll receive.
