Located at the end of a very quiet alley in the heart of Saigon, we spent the morning with Café Slow co-founders, Nguyễn Phương Quỳnh and Nguyễn Anh Phương.
Nguyễn Phương Quỳnh, Nguyễn Anh Phương, co-founders of Café Slow
The idea with Café Slow was to offer great coffee all day long in a unique, peaceful environment where they would like you to feel like at home. Café Slow cares about details from the quality and origins of the coffee beans to the interior design and also the sound environment and their team is striving to bring to all of you a genuine experience.
In this photography series, we visit Café Slow and a traditional wooden house - a site for their upcoming project. We love what they're doing and grateful for the conversations we've shared with them.

Studio Visit with Artist Windy Chien
We first met Windy Chien in San Francisco at our first pop-up at Abacus Row in 2019. Her radiant energy was inspiring and comforting. We were so entranced by her stories full of adventure, discovery, and richness. From her cycling throughout Vietnam (goals!!), to her impeccable music taste and curation at her record shop in San Francisco, to her leadership with building iTunes. She’s done so much, and continues to offer so much more through her art of knotting. This is a photo series from a studio visit with Windy Chien - a beautiful studio full of curiosities, creations and craft.
