In 2023, Vietnam and Japan celebrated 50 years of diplomatic relations — a meaningful milestone that reflected the long-standing friendship and growing connection between the two countries.
Over the years, the relationship between Vietnam and Japan has continued to grow through culture, trade, craftsmanship, and shared values. It is a connection built not only through economic exchange, but also through a mutual appreciation for quality, thoughtful design, and everyday living.
Excellent Made in Vietnam
To celebrate this important milestone, Kohnan Japan, a trusted Japanese home and lifestyle retailer, continued its Excellent Made in Vietnam exhibition series, bringing together a diverse selection of Vietnamese brands and products.
The event offered an opportunity for Vietnamese craftsmanship to reach Japanese consumers while creating a meaningful connection between two cultures that share a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and thoughtful living.
As part of the event, Tuhu Ceramics collaborated with Kohnan Japan to introduce a special collection of coffee cups and mugs inspired by simplicity, everyday functionality, and contemporary Vietnamese aesthetics.
Simple Forms, Fresh Colors
Designed with clean, approachable forms and a fresh palette of colors, the collection was created to bring a little more character to everyday coffee rituals.
Each color carries its own personality, allowing you to choose a piece that reflects your individual style and complements the atmosphere of your home.
Beyond everyday use, the collection was also thoughtfully designed as a meaningful gift for friends, family, and loved ones — a simple way to share something beautiful on special occasions.
Thoughtfully Made, Thoughtfully Packed
For us, craftsmanship does not end when a piece leaves the hands of the artisan.
Every collection is carefully prepared and packaged with the same attention to detail that goes into the making of each product. For this collaboration, we continued our commitment to plastic-free packaging, using carefully selected non-plastic materials to protect the pieces throughout their journey.
It is a small but meaningful step toward a more thoughtful and sustainable way of creating and sharing our products.
A Celebration of Craft & Connection
The collaboration between Timbaris and Kohnan Japan represents more than a collection of cups and mugs. It is a celebration of the connection between Vietnamese craftsmanship and Japanese appreciation for thoughtful design and everyday living.
We are proud to see Vietnamese-made products become part of homes beyond our borders, while continuing to preserve the spirit, skill, and stories behind the craft.
From Vietnam to Japan, and from one home to another — we believe beautiful things have a way of bringing people closer.
