We listen first, then draw.

A home should follow the way you live. We listen, then draw, then make.

The studio.

MONTRIUM provides full interior architecture, furnishing design and bespoke manufacturing for private clients and developers. We create homes that are authentic, timeless and shaped around each family.

We work closely with each client and offer a personal, adaptable service. The relationship does not end at handover.

Care, at every stage.

Quality, for us, is not a look. It is care taken at every stage: in the concept, in the detailing worked out with our craftsmen, in understanding the people who will live in the house, and in looking after them once they do.

We have no fixed style. We would rather listen, understand what a family wants from its home, and find the answer that belongs to that house alone.

Four values, one standard.

Stillness
Proportion and light are settled before any ornament is discussed.
Refinement
Every detail is drawn, made and checked in our own workshop.
Endurance
Materials and joinery are chosen for the decades after handover.
Craft
A craftsman's hand at every place the hand will touch.

Made to outlast time. Value that reaches beyond the trend.

How we think.

Understanding

A design begins with the client's aspirations and the reasons behind them. They give the house its narrative.

Refinement

First ideas are distilled and questioned at every stage, until only what is needed remains.

Experience

We think of every point of touch, sight and use, so the house is felt as much as it is seen.

Original thinking

Space, function and beauty are weighed together, which leaves room for solutions no catalogue offers.

Collaboration

Craftsmen, furniture makers, fabric houses, lighting and finishing specialists: each brings the original vision one step closer.

Eight disciplines, one house.

  • Architecture
  • Interior
  • Furniture
  • Development
  • Hospitality
  • Manufacturing
  • Luxury Living
  • Legacy Estates

Who you will work with.

Architects, interior designers, technicians, craftsmen and project managers in one studio, joined when a project needs it by specialists in lighting, finishing and art.

One project manager, start to finish.

Each project has a dedicated project manager who keeps the schedule and budget on track, represents you at our weekly design meetings and is your single point of contact throughout.

The founder.

MONTRIUM was founded by Nguyễn Thành Việt, an interior designer and project manager in private residential work. Before founding the studio he worked across construction, design consultancy and project management, carrying projects from concept to handover.

His habit of respecting, then refining, each client's vision still sets the way the studio works.

Our workshop in Vietnam.

Our craftsmen combine precision machinery with long-practised cabinetry and finishing techniques. The workshop makes the project details itself, and for certain crafts we work with selected artisans, held to the same standard.

It is where we make furniture meant to stay in a family for generations.
