Quentin Vương is a French-Vietnamese artist-designer whose practice explores the interplay of nature, time, light and touch. Based in Paris and a graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, he works at the intersection of art, design and craftsmanship.

Conceived as functional sculptures, his furniture, lighting and objects combine natural materials and traditional techniques with contemporary forms. Through rich textures and shifting reflections, his works invite touch, curiosity and a slower way of looking, drawing attention to natural phenomena and the human gestures behind each piece. Made to endure and be passed on, they reflect his belief in thoughtful creation and the transmission of craft.

EXHIBITIONS

His works have been presented at PAD Paris in 2025 and 2026, with solo exhibitions at Galerie Gastou in Paris and Spazio Nobile in Brussels, among many others.

Inherited Lights

Presented by Gallery Medium, Inherited Lights marks Quentin Vuong’s first solo exhibition in Vietnam and offers a rare presentation of collectible design in the country.

The collection draws on memories of Vuong’s grandparents’ home in France—an atmosphere of muted reflections, dark surfaces and precious materials. Through saturated colours, faceted forms and luminous textures, Vuong translates this sensory inheritance into a distinctive visual language, bringing together furniture, lighting and objects at the intersection of art and design.

Solid wood, lacquer, mother-of-pearl, eggshell and precious metal leaf are chosen for their ability to capture and transform light. Across these materials, soft reflections, shifting glimmers and subtle contrasts reveal the richness of each surface and the craftsmanship behind it. As viewers move around the pieces, facets emerge or recede, colours deepen or brighten, and hand-worked textures reveal new details. The works invite movement and touch, their appearance shifting with each viewpoint and responding to the surrounding interior. Even the gradual oxidation of silver leaf becomes part of this transformation, allowing time to leave its trace upon the surface.

Through varied techniques, Vuong brings together craftsmanship, memory and sculptural form. Each object becomes a study in material transformation, its presence continually renewed by light, movement and the passage of time.
