“I’ve learned that good furniture isn’t built in a hurry. And neither are good hands.”

Before joining Ashdeco, Tu Do worked in a large-scale industrial furniture factory. He later said leaving that world behind was “the best decision I ever made for my hands.”

These days, he specializes in pedestal tables and mushroom coffee tables - pieces where the balance between the base and tabletop has to feel absolutely perfect. Not almost right. Not “good enough.” Perfect enough that nobody notices the engineering holding it all together.

Around the workshop, the others joke that Tu Do measures everything three times before making a cut.

The funny part is, after the third measurement… he usually checks it one more time anyway.
