Assume you were a student or visitor, let's visit Ton Duc Thang University Library - the name which has been publicly praised and admired recently to see a clear proof of interior's role in the creation of design.

While architecture emphasizes the visual impression on the design, the interior emphasizes comfort when using spaces that admitted by all accounts. This 7-story library has modern style, space and harmonious interior that many students entering the library for the first time must be overwhelmed and affirmed: this is a unique library in Vietnam so far.

​

The striking yellow and white desks make this academic space more delicate, stimulating the creativity of the learner when entering the library.

Only a few people know that the innovative library space with its unique, sophisticated and modern interior design is the result of a long, hard, and difficult collaboration of HOME'FURNI interior for entertainment areas, coffee corner, relax corner and O'FURNI interior in office, table and chairs, meeting rooms in university. It all starts with lots of difficulties and challenges.

​

Thus far, it can be said that creative interior designers have blown soul into the structure of the building, giving each floor a unique theme, unique colors and impressive.

The first challenge emerged was the name: TDTU INSPiRE Library - Inspirational Library. That would be a failure if someone comes in and does not feel inspired, not get the spirit of the library. To deal with this big challenge, the creative design team and furniture supply team have been working side by side with the lectures and students of the university on every single small interior details, materials, size to color the parts so that it fits into the library design concept.

​

Nisus Floor

Those large, bright and harmonious spaces reflect the youth, dynamics and comfort. The bookshelves are plain but elegant. Besides, there are plenty of styles, colors, seating arrangements, discussion desks, lighting system, screens on the walls. This makes the library users feel completely connected and pleasant.

​

Progress Floor

Throughout the 7 floors, interior style reflects modernism, bright colors. The library space is mainly in white but each floor owns its different color areas. This finest, harmonious interior design infuses traditional academic space with a breath of fresh, creative inspiration.

You may randomly spot nice seats, comfortable back chairs, feathery lazy chairs, warm group discussion corner, and cozy study corner all over the building. Each of characteristics will match its own suitable spaces: study area, discussion room, meeting room, coffee area, reading area, exhibition lounge and so on.

​

Interior designers have been very empathetic by detecting the combination of modern interior trends and user's personality in order to transform a dull place into an inspirational, enthusiastic library with such a poetic features. Any of its corners would be a glamorous backdrop for students to pose.

Inspired interior spaces combine in harmony with the dynamic flow of creative knowledge, which is the last thing that comes to mind when visiting the most modern library in Vietnam. Surely, in the coming years, many other inspirational libraries will be built to nurture a passion for knowledge and provide an international standard of learning in Vietnam.
