The Atelier

A 100 m² workshop.
Twelve pairs of hands.

Our workshop in Phú Thạnh, Saigon, runs on craft rather than automation. Four metal-frame welders shape each wire armature; six fabric artisans stretch and bond the cloth by hand, overseen by the workshop owner and a floor manager.

A KAHA shade is built in three honest layers: a powder-coated steel frame, a moulded ring formed to that frame, and the fabric wrapped and bonded over it by glue or hand-stitch. Cloth is sourced from Vietnamese craft villages — Nam Định, Hội An, Vạn Phúc — not cheap mass imports.

Founded in 2018 by Nguyễn Văn Trường.

Materials

Nine fabrics, woven in Vietnamese craft villages.

Seven cloths and two hand techniques — each chosen for how it carries light, ages and suits a room. Any material can be dyed to a custom Pantone on request.

5–7 yrs

Brushed Linen

Soft brushed weave, diffuse warm light. The signature choice for 4–5★ and boutique rooms.

5–7 yrs

Pepper Linen

Linen flecked with natural black “pepper” — a vintage, French-colonial warmth.

4–6 yrs

Hội An Silk

Traditional village silk with woven motifs and rich colour — Asian, spa and heritage spaces.

5–7 yrs

Two-tone Silk

Two woven layers that shift colour under light. The most premium cloth, for suites and VIP rooms.

4–6 yrs

Taffeta

Smooth blended yarn, fade-resistant and easy to clean. Ideal where many rooms need fast turnover.

★ Bestseller

Raw Tussah (Đũi)

Hand-woven raw silk from Nam Định craft villages. Uneven grain, true handmade character — a bestseller.

4–6 yrs

Canvas (Bố)

Thick natural canvas for rustic and industrial rooms — mountain homestays, vintage cafés.

technique

Pleated

Hand-folded vertical pleats. Classical European elegance for heritage 5★ interiors.

technique

Goat-skin Texture

Coarse warm-ivory texture echoing aged hide — retro and French-colonial villas.
