Driftwood Village
Handcrafted, natural and sustainable art pieces for your home. Recycled, sculpted and designed in historic Hoi An, Vietnam
Coco Casa Collection offers a unique range of artisanal products, each with a strong identity and a practical purpose in the home. Every one-of-a-kind piece comes straight to you from our workshops.
Founded in 2020 by local artist and restaurateur, Thuan Le Ngoc, our workshop and studio bring together artisans, sculptors and wood workers from the Quang Nam province to create beautiful, artistic and unique works to display in your home or office.
Central Vietnam has long been known as an artistic and creative hub. Our work brings art to life using an unlikely material – driftwood from a local river.
Our aim is to protect skills and heritage that have been passed down for generations.
Together with the artisans, we are working to keep these traditions alive, ensuring that their stories and art live on.
The journey to your home begins with a single piece of wood drifting down the Thu Bon River
From July to October, the flow of Thu Bon River, which starts from the Ngoc Linh Mountain, about 167km away, carries large chunks of tree branches and wood debris to the river outlet of Cua Dai District in Hoi An. This debris is the birthplace of the Coco Casa Collection.
Our Story
Central Vietnam has long been leaving the beaches devasted and inundated with debris.
A professionally trained architect, passionate artist and mindful entrepreneur, our founder, Thuan Le Ngoc immediately saw an opportunity lying amid the rubbish. Jokingly, a good friend of Thuan’s suggested he create art from the wood scraps that washed up on the beach. Little did he know, that is exactly what Thuan had in mind. With that, his vision to create meaningful, memorable works of art from recycled material was born.
He quickly drove his pickup truck to the beach and searched for pieces of driftwood that matched his vision. One week later, Thuan called up his friend to show him a piece of art.
Needless to say, his friend was more than impressed and encouraged Thuan to continue with his newly discovered medium. Inspired and passionate, Thuan created more pieces and the vision for Coco Casa Collection was born.
“I quite like the driftwood moniker that people started to call me. It implies that I me marketable arts from discards, and that I gave this waste a new life,” Thuan said.
Our Products
Each unique work of art from our studio tells the story of a discarded piece of wood, sourced from nature and sculpted into a beautiful, meaningful piece by our talented local craftsmen and artists.
No two pieces are exactly the same as our artisans put their love, passion and creativity into each piece.
