Steffany Trần (She/Her)

Vy Voi is a design studio based in New York, NY and Sài Gòn, Vietnam by Steffany Trần, an industrial designer and ceramic artist, focusing on objects, lighting and furniture.

Her work connects the dots between historical Vietnamese art and her belief of tenderness in the everyday, expressed into enriching, emotional dialogues inspired by the natural world: the fleeting charm of organic occurrences and capturing these moments of contained comfort.

Steffany studied Industrial Design at San Jose State University, defining her love of what we live with and her language of soft, delicate lines. All works are made by hand in her studio in New York.
