About
Thomas Vincent is a french designer based in Ho-Chi-Minh, Vietnam. Graduated from STRATE - School of Design, Paris, 2016.
He took the direction of Vietnam to fulfill his passion for design in a manufacturing environment. To him, it is through the execution, that simple ideas or sketches can turn into great products.
Working from R&D, prototypes, certifications, costing, production to packaging, gave Thomas a holistic perspective about products’ life through its different context.
These realities are Thomas' starting point, he plays with them, and his creativity at problem solving delivers the right products, in a challenging world.
Always looking to offer understandable products for the users. Thomas attaches a great importance to assembled products, making them repairable, and ready to recycle.
Since 2016 Thomas has worked at Elek for a wide variety of furniture and lighting brands from North America, Europe, Australia, and for hospitality and F&B projects in Vietnam.
In 2021, he co-founded Elek’s factory brand BANG.
