Hi! I'm Ho Thao Nguyen
INTERIOR DESIGN
For people who are interested in what I did in Viet Nam - I was an interior designer.
In 2011, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Vietnam, majoring in interior design. During my studies and afterwards I learned and used 3Dsmax and Vray rendering software in many different projects.
Take a look at some of the projects I did during that time.

🔻CONTAINER HOTEL
Pre-graduation thesis_2011
In developing countries such as Viet Nam or Cambodia, unused containers are seen quite often. Returning these containers is probably not worthwhile because of the high shipping costs. Therefore, a waste of resources is seen here. By using the empty containers as building modules, these resources are better utilized and it is even better for the environment.
​
This project was made in the last semester of my study in Vietnam. In this hotel, rooms for guests will be designed inside a 40 feet sea container. In addition, there will be a restaurant and a bar on the roof terrace.

Interior design for the Products-simplifieds gift stores_2013
In 2013, I had the great opportunity to work at Products Simplifieds (PS)- a place that specializes in providing international tourists with gift items influenced by Vietnamese culture. To build more PS stores, I worked here as an interior designer.
Products-simplified gift stores are often located in places frequented by international tourists, like a small store in resorts. Together with other team members, we had a great environment to conceive and execute these projects. I am mainly responsible for 3D drawings and technical drawings before the store goes into construction. The following work is one of the stores I designed.

🔻FUNKY FURNITURE
Product design_2014
This is one of the fun projects I worked on at Products Simplified. One day my boss told me he wanted to make a special set of tables and chairs, a really "funky" design.
Based on his simple hand sketch, I drew these chairs in 3D. This was an interesting process for me, but also a lot of hard work, because 10 years ago we were using Autodesk 3Dsmax software for 3D buildings - for objects with such free curves it became difficult. He also wanted the chair to be made of wood and easy to transport. That requires a lot of actual testing that the 3D model can't represent.
Unfortunately, I could not stay until the end of the project because of my new goal, but this project remains as a nice memory of working in Vietnam.

Many thanks to Marco and the P-S team for the great cooperation!
