The Tuấn Trinh family story · Canh Nậu
From the first inlaid details,
to spaces shaped by wood.
A journey that began with carving and inlay, grew through the family's shops and continues in each project.
Each chapter, a page of our story.
Around 1994–1995
The beginning of the family's craft
The story begins with carving and inlay.
Before the shops, there was a craft to devote ourselves to.
Our family began carving and inlay work around 1994–1995. This was the first stage of the journey, before expanding into making and selling wooden furniture.
Looking back at the Tuấn Trinh story today, we want to begin with that craft: small details on wood, growing into larger pieces and spaces.
2008
Expansion into making & selling wooden furniture
A turning point and a broader direction.
From carving and inlay to making and selling wooden furniture.
In 2008, the family expanded into making and selling wooden furniture. The work gradually came to focus mainly on furniture, continuing the journey that began with carving and inlay.
From the foundation of a craft, the family moved into a wider business. Chairs, cabinets and worship furniture gradually became the products associated with the later shop.
The first shop
The shop's early steps
A small shop, beginning with chairs.
About 100m², mainly chairs.
The family's first shop was about 100m² and mainly sold chairs. It was still small, with fewer types of furniture than in later years.
From that starting point, furniture making and selling continued to expand — both the shop space and the product ranges the family made.
A period of expansion
Cabinets · tables and seating · worship furniture · home woodwork
More space and more choices for the home.
About 200m², with more furniture ranges.
When the shop expanded to about 200m², the product ranges also grew: cabinets, tables, seating, altars and other wooden furniture.
Work gradually grew from individual pieces to woodwork for entire homes. The business expanded along with the scope of work the family accepted.
Larger projects
Home furniture & memorial hall woodwork
From a single piece to an entire space.
The journey continues through projects.
From work in family homes, Tuấn Trinh took on projects of different sizes, including woodwork for whole houses and military memorial halls honoring fallen service members.
Today's story continues through the pieces and projects already made. Explore the photographs, visit the shop and discuss your own space with us.
