“People ask how long a piece takes. I say: six years of learning, and then however long the wood needs.”
Alex Nguyen never went to woodworking school. Everything he knows came from watching, testing, failing, and spending his first two years ruining more pieces of wood than he’d probably like to admit in public.
But that rough beginning gave him something valuable - a deep understanding of how different woods behave when pushed too far, cut too quickly, or finished the wrong way. Experience has a funny way of teaching lessons that books usually skip.
Today, he specializes in bathroom vanities and corner shelves, pieces that demand both precision and durability in humid spaces where wood has absolutely no patience for mistakes.
Around the workshop, people trust Alex Nguyen with projects that need to survive daily life, not just look pretty in photos.
And if a piece leaves his bench, chances are it’ll still be standing long after the trends around it disappear.

Add meditative warmth and architectural grace to your home with our Hand-Carved Solid Wood Sculptural Floor Lamp. Inspired by fluid organic amphoras, this striking piece combines artisanal wood sculpture with functional ambient illumination, transforming living corners into serene retreats.
The Presence of Authentic Solid Wood
Flowing Natural Grain: Hand-shaped from 100% genuine solid timber without veneers, highlighting concentric growth rings, dynamic grain swirls, and natural honey-gold wood tones.
Tactile Hand-Carved Form: Every contour and hollow aperture is sanded to a soft, organic finish that highlights the authentic touch and natural warmth of living wood.
Why Choose This Piece: Sculptural Form Meets Utility
Functional Ambient Illumination: Beyond being a free-standing work of art, it houses a concealed lower light source that casts an upward, warm atmospheric radiance through its hollow core.
Striking Biophilic Silhouette: The flowing hollowed-center design creates an alluring interplay of light and shadow, serving as a gallery-worthy focal point both illuminated and unlit.
Stable Solid Foundation: Mounted onto a substantial rounded pedestal base, offering reliable balance and a grounded, premium weight.
Ideal Placements
Living Room Corners: Placed beside a sofa, linen drapery, or low coffee table to create a tranquil reading ambience.
Serene Modern Interiors: Perfectly complements minimalist bedrooms, meditation spaces, and luxury entry halls embracing Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, or Scandinavian aesthetics.
Honest Limitations
Natural Wood Reactions: Because genuine solid wood breathes, subtle variations in wood hue, knot patterns, and minor seasonal hairline expansion are natural hallmarks of authentic timber.
Weight & Upkeep: The monolithic wood structure possesses substantial weight; dust lightly with a dry microfiber cloth and avoid direct moisture.
Custom Dimensions & Thickness
Custom Proportions: Made completely to order to match your ceiling height and surrounding furniture proportions.
Adjustable Wall Thickness: Carved with a balanced standard shell thickness for optimal stability; custom thicker carving for a heavier statement or slimmer edges can be accommodated upon request (thickness adjustments incur an extra fee).
For bespoke dimension inquiries, custom cord requirements, or thickness requests, please Contact Customer Support for a personalized quote.
Furniture Placement
Position your furniture away from direct sunlight, or use blinds or curtains to reduce sun exposure.
Always set your furniture on a level surface to preserve its balance and structure.
Cleaning & Upkeep
Regularly wipe down your furniture with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, as these can ruin the finish and damage the wood.
Weight Capacity & Use
Respect the recommended weight limit for each piece to ensure its durability.
When moving furniture, lift it instead of dragging or pushing to prevent surface scratches or joint damage.
Preventing Mold & Mildew
Quickly wipe up any spills to stop moisture from penetrating the wood.
In areas with high humidity, use a dehumidifier to maintain an ideal moisture balance.

Every plank carries its own grain, color, and knots. These aren't flaws - they are time's signature, the fingerprint of a tree that lived for decades. When you touch a Ashdeco table, you're touching the years it stood through.

Everything you need to know about our pieces, commissions, and care.
How long does shipping take?
In Vietnam: 3-5 days. International: 10-14 days. Larger pieces (tables, cabinets) may take longer due to custom crating. All shipments include tracking and insurance.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping is calculated by weight + dimensions at checkout. You'll see the exact quote before paying.
How long does a commission take?
4-8 weeks depending on complexity. A 6-seater dining table takes ~6 weeks, a console cabinet ~4 weeks, a large sideboard ~8 weeks.
50% deposit is required when you confirm sketches. The remaining 50% is due when the piece is finished, before shipping. Full refund within 48 hours of deposit if you change your mind.
How do I take care of my wood piece?
Wipe with a damp cloth — no chemicals. Apply wood oil 1-2 times per year (we include a starter bottle). Avoid direct sunlight and big humidity changes.
What if my piece develops cracks?
Wood expands and contracts with humidity — minor cracks are natural and part of the material. Major cracks within the first year: we fix free. After 1 year, we charge labor only.
Can I return a piece?
Ready-made pieces: 30-day returns (must arrive intact). Commissions: final sale (since they're custom-made for you). If anything arrives damaged, we'll repair or replace at no cost.
