Ideoli’s founders, George Stroumboulis and Chris Hartswick, recently took a trip to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, to look for the strongest partners to work with and the latest products to consider for our clients. We see Vietnam is really in a strong position now with the TPP—Trans Pacific Partnership—including the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, and about 40% of the world economy,” says Thomas, a Danish native, working in the Vietnamese manufacturing industry and helping Ideoli better integrate into the local business climate. According to Thomas, Vietnam is positioned to be a production base for these other countries, as one to two million young people get into the job market every year in this country, meaning there is enough labor supply to take on an increase in manufacturing. After inspecting several factories in Vietnam, we gained an appreciation for the attention to detail and advanced manufacturing capabilities these companies have. “The quality of products coming out of Vietnam has increased a lot. Over the last 20 years, there has been a strong development in the wood furniture business here. It’s a very dynamic environment where new things are developed continuously,” adds Thomas.We’re excited to expand Ideoli’s footprint to Vietnam to be a part of this growth environment and look forward to providing our clients with more high-quality products. Passionately seeking out the best international markets—it’s the Ideoli way. As part of our video series on Ideoli’s pursuit of international markets, we created a video showcasing our recent trip to Vietnam and outlining its strong manufacturing capabilities.

Known for their ability to invigorate any space, Ideoli today is checking in on a customized, one-of-a-kind ring chandelier it produced for American Girl’s flagship store in Rockefeller Center in New York City. Already a company and client favorite, Ideoli wanted to see how visitors to the store were reacting to this stunning lighting piece at the epicenter of the store. Nestled at the heart of one of New York’s most visited tourist locations, the American Girl store has become a go-to attraction in Rockefeller Center. As visitors make their way to the store to see their favorite American Girl dolls and stories come to life, they are welcomed by Ideoli’s breathtaking masterpiece chandelier. “I love it, I would love it in my home,” exclaimed Carla, a first-time visitor to the store. “It’s elegant… and it was stunning,” mentioned Bliona, another fan of the Ideoli customized piece. Inspired by the demands of their clients worldwide, Ideoli was thrilled and honored to be tasked with designing, producing and installing this specialized focal piece for American Girl. Ideoli constantly pushes the envelope of design excellence, and its founders take the time to thoroughly understand the mood and environment client’s aim to deliver to end users. By doing so, Ideoli is able to curate individual customized pieces that perfectly complement the space at hand, just as they did with this piece. “The chandelier makes it look very classy,” said American Girl visitor Francesca. Another guest Gabriella claimed, “It’s the first thing you notice when you walk into the store.” It is always a pleasure to know that end users love Ideoli projects as much as the team and client do.
