Golden Patchwork Hen

Part of our Vietnam Beyond the Surface collection, the Golden Patchwork Hen brings a touch of warmth and whimsy into your home. Its plump form and cheerful stance symbolize abundance, prosperity, and the comforting rhythm of daily life. Each colorful square on its golden body is hand-painted, creating a joyful mosaic that brightens any space with playful refinement.

Crafted using traditional Vietnamese lacquer techniques, this hen sculpture is formed from a durable resin base layered with natural lacquer sourced from the Vietnamese lacquer tree, locally known as the sơn tree. The layers are sanded and polished by hand, creating a luminous finish that enhances the gold tones and colorful patchwork design. Each piece is individually hand-painted by artisans, giving your sculpture a unique character and subtle variations in pattern and tone.

This sculpture is made in Vietnam, a country renowned for its lacquer artistry that has been passed down for generations, especially in villages near Hanoi. The process of creating lacquerware is slow and deliberate, reflecting the cultural value placed on craftsmanship and patience. Each hen carries a piece of this heritage into your home, blending the vibrancy of Vietnamese art with a modern, joyful aesthetic.

At JJUIN, we work directly with artisans, mentoring them through refining their techniques and designs for the Western market. Beyond artistry, we also mentor each of the artisans with their essential business skills by helping them meet specific deadlines, strengthening their negotiation and communication skills, and navigating client expectations. This empowers them to grow sustainably while preserving the integrity of their craft, ensuring each handcrafted piece finds its place in the homes of discerning collectors.

The Golden Patchwork Hen is a versatile accent piece for kitchens, entryways, or bookshelves, adding a pop of color and a cheerful presence wherever it is placed. Use it to brighten a windowsill or place it on a dining console to symbolize togetherness and warmth in your home. Its reflective gold surface catches the light beautifully, making it a delightful conversation starter in any space.

Notes for Design Professionals: The compact yet eye-catching scale of this piece makes it suitable for hospitality setting, cafe decor, and contemporary residential styling that seeks a touch of character without overpowering the aesthetic narrative. The sculpture aligns with layered, story-rich interiors that emphasize quiet luxury and artisanal touches.
