PAUL NORRISS AND DARREN CHEW

DISTRICT EIGHT PIECES ARE MADE WITH TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP USING UNIQUE PROCESSES, SUCH AS BRASS BLAZING TO JOIN STEEL TOGETHER. EVERY PIECE IS PRECISION PERFECTED AND TRADITIONALLY MADE BY HAND IN HO CHI MINH CITY FROM RECLAIMED AND VINTAGE MATERIALS

DISTRICT EIGHT DESIGN was founded in 2010 by co-owners Paul Norriss and Australian Darren Chew, as a project to preserve and develop the historically significant buildings, warehouses, and objects of Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, lovingly known as “the Paris of Asia”. The firm has expanded to include design, with a production line of modern industrial furnishings that focus on authentic vintage style – blending reclaimed and salvaged materials with modern materials and design. Keeping both design and production branches in-house means District Eight Design has the ability to prototype furniture and lighting, while producing high-quality pieces for local and select international partners, such as Domayne Australia.
