District Eight Information

Established in 2010 in Sài Gòn, District Eight is a design brand realizing contemporary perspectives across a multi-disciplinary practice. Its name connects to one of Sài Gòn’s vibrant 24 districts, Vietnam’s cross-section of global outlooks and rich local heritage. Through distinct historical periods and the conflux of cultures, from neighboring countries to French Indochina and the West, Sài Gòn deeply informs the continually evolving, international spirit of District Eight. Defined by an inherent sense of Asia in its designs, a journey of influences renders each piece unique and nuanced, one that is more felt than pronounced. The rich cultures and heritage of craftsmanship in Sài Gòn resonate deeply with District Eight's innate passion for elevating crafts. This connection inspires the exploration of techniques and solutions that bring authentic ideas and premium materials to life. From the initial concept to development, from the artisan's touch to the meticulous production line, every detail is infused with intention and dedication, resulting in designs of exceptional worth and character. With a commitment to uncompromising quality, District Eight’s distinctive works have propelled beyond domestic borders across markets in Asia, America and Europe, including opening an Italian division, inspiring international recognition and elevating Asian designs onto a global stage. Beyond furniture, District Eight actively contributes to Asia’s design scene, fostering creativity and collaboration to drive impactful innovation.
