The Process

The makers behind every sheet.

Traditional Dó paper still moves through patient work in the villages — a process unchanged for generations.

Candora works directly with Dó paper makers in traditional villages, helping sustain this important craft and the communities that keep it alive.

The Paper of Vietnam's Emperors

For more than eight hundred years, Dó paper has preserved Vietnamese imperial edicts, records, and stories. At Candora, we continue this heritage, breathing new life into it through refined design and contemporary techniques — creating pieces that feel both timeless and gently present.

Light Through Form

We treat glass as a surface for light. Some pieces carry delicate Tiffany-inspired details; others are wrapped in Dó paper to create holders that combine texture, light and a sense of place.
