On the evening of 22 May 2026, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (ICHAM) was honored to attend TOP 10 AWARDS 2025, held at the Hanoi Museum, as a professional supporting partner. Organized by KIẾN VIỆT MEDIA, the event brought together distinguished architects, designers, and industry leaders to celebrate excellence and innovation in Vietnam’s architecture and design sectors. ICHAM’s participation reaffirmed its commitment to fostering cultural and creative exchange between Italy and Vietnam, creating meaningful opportunities for dialogue and collaboration between the two countries’ professional communities.
Recognized as one of Vietnam’s most prestigious architecture and design awards, TOP 10 AWARDS celebrated outstanding architects, designers, and visionary projects across the categories of Interior Design, Houses, and Green Projects. The ceremony highlighted achievements that combine creativity, sustainability, and forward-thinking design solutions. This year’s theme, “Humanity – Innovation – Local Identity,” placed people at the center of architectural thinking while emphasizing respect for local context and cultural identity. Through this vision, the event once again demonstrated its role as an important platform for recognizing design excellence and inspiring the future of Vietnam’s built environment.
The international dimension of architectural dialogue was further emphasized by the attendance of Arch. Gian Paolo Vitale, Chairman of Finenco Architects VN, a 100% Italian architectural firm operating in Vietnam for more than 20 years, as well as Brand Ambassador of Heleh, an Italian-Vietnamese brand. His presence reflected the longstanding contribution of Italian architectural expertise to Vietnam’s evolving urban and creative landscape, while reinforcing the strong connection between Italian design values and local innovation. The event served as a valuable occasion to strengthen the creative bridge between the two countries through shared ideas, professional exchange, and mutual inspiration.
Adding an elegant expression of Italian lifestyle and culture to the evening, Pinot Grigio DOC Delle Venezie was showcased throughout the event through a dedicated display area, as part of the gifts presented to outstanding award winners, and during the networking reception that followed the ceremony. Its presence offered guests an authentic taste of Italian wine culture, creating a refined atmosphere for conversations among leading architects, creative designers, and prominent professionals from Vietnam’s architecture and interior design sectors. More than enhancing the celebration, it contributed to bringing the heritage and excellence of Italian winemaking closer to the Vietnamese professional community, while further strengthening the presence of Italian cultural excellence in Vietnam through high-level creative and networking initiatives.
