The Origin

Where the New Year Lives Beyond Time

In Vietnamese culture, the New Year is not defined by a single moment.

It is a quiet transition—when old cycles gently close, and new beginnings arrive with patience and hope.

Artifact – The Spirit of the New Year was created from this belief.

Not as a seasonal decoration, but as a cultural artifact—preserving the essence of Vietnamese spring and sharing it with the world.

This collection does not recreate celebration as spectacle.

Instead, it captures what remains after the fireworks fade: renewal, prosperity, and reunion.

Cultural Symbols, Reimagined

Golden coins symbolize fortune and continuity.

Spring blossoms announce renewal.

Shared wishes speak of harmony and return.

These symbols are deeply rooted in Vietnamese New Year traditions.

In Artifact, they are carefully studied, distilled, and reinterpreted through a contemporary design language—balancing tradition with modern form.

Every element is intentional.

Nothing is decorative without meaning.

From Tradition to Artifact

The Keyboard as a Cultural Canvas

Rather than treating Tet as a theme, the collection approaches it as living heritage.

The keyboard becomes a canvas.

The keycap becomes a vessel.

Each piece is designed to feel discovered rather than produced—small in scale, yet rich in narrative and depth.

Two Expressions of Spring

Golden Mai – The First Spring Bloom

In Southern Vietnam, the mai blossom is the first sign of the New Year.

Its golden petals arrive quietly, carrying wishes of prosperity and auspicious beginnings.

Golden Mai – The First Spring Bloom captures that gentle emergence—the exact moment spring reveals itself.

Crimson Peach – A Spring Reunion

In the North, peach blossoms bloom alongside reunion.

They belong to familiar voices, shared meals, and the joy of returning home.

Crimson Peach – A Spring Reunion reflects warmth, harmony, and togetherness—the emotional heart of Tết.

The Craft

A Process Defined by Patience

Every keycap in Artifact – The Spirit of the New Year is crafted entirely by hand using 100% multi-layer color casting.

Each color layer is poured individually, then left to cure for many hours before the next layer begins. This process is repeated again and again—requiring patience, precision, and unwavering attention to detail.

No shortcuts are taken.

No layers are rushed.

Tiny elements—blossoms, coins, symbols—are carefully aligned and cast one by one. A single mistake means starting over.

This slow, deliberate process is not just technical—it is philosophical.

It reflects the spirit of the New Year itself: waiting, care, and renewal.

Because of this, no two keycaps are ever exactly the same.

Each piece carries subtle variations—marks of time, hand, and intention.

Final Completion & Group Buy Release

After countless hours of casting, curing, refining, and finishing, Artifact – The Spirit of the New Year has reached its final stage of completion.

This Group Buy marks the moment when the collection is ready to be shared beyond the studio—crafted slowly, and offered with care to those who value meaning as much as form.

This is not a mass-produced object.

It is a cultural fragment, shaped by hand.

Beyond the Season

A Living Spirit, Shared Worldwide

This collection does not aim to capture a single New Year.

It preserves a feeling.

Through Artifact – The Spirit of the New Year, Vietnamese spring becomes something that exists beyond calendars and borders—held in form, experienced through touch, and carried forward.

Follow the journey, and welcome the spirit of Vietnamese New Year into your own space—crafted by hand, and shared with the world.
