Relight 2026: a Signature creative showcase by VLU Interior Design Students – where light begins with reclaimed wood

Returning with the theme “Radiance from the Unexpected,” Relight 2026 by Interior Design students at Van Lang University continues its exploration of beauty in the unexpected. By crafting decorative lighting from reclaimed wood - an industrial byproduct - students bring Sustainable Design beyond theory into real-life application.

Throughout the workshop, discarded wood pieces are “reborn” through creative thinking and technical execution. Hands-on guidance from lecturers enables students to develop highly practical products while strengthening material-handling skills and environmental responsibility - shaping a design mindset that is practical, adaptive, and human-centered.

On the morning of March 17, 2026, the exhibition and award ceremony celebrated the most outstanding student works. The RELIGHT exhibition is on display with 48 projects at the front area of Trinh Cong Son Hall (Building A, Main Campus, Van Lang University) until March 20, 2026, before selected pieces continue to be showcased at Long Khang Technology Showroom. creating further opportunities for professional exchange and creative exposure.
